How It All Came Together
Hardscape Installation
The installation of the hardscape elements took approximately seven days.
Call Before You Dig
Before any excavation began in the front yard, we contacted Gopher State One Call—a free service that coordinates with all utility providers to mark underground lines. This crucial step ensures digging is done safely, avoiding damage to water, gas, electric, or communication utilities.

The runnels were carefully placed to balance performance and poetics—slowing and directing rainwater while introducing visual rhythm and the soothing sound of flowing water.
