Exterior improvements were environmentally-minded and involved redistributions of the water features, pathways, and landscaping. The buildings remained occupied throughout construction adding a layer of complexity to the renovation project.

Our contract also included restroom upgrades, fixtures replacement, landscaping drainage, and redistributions of the water features.
Customer Testimonial:
I just got back from a visit to the Water Garden. It had been a while since I was there, and now everything in installed. Without exaggerating too much, the piping work at the geocell system is pert near a work of art. Very impressive! This was truly a collaborative effort, and I want to thank you and your whole team for all the design-assist work you and Jayson did to make this thing work. And not just for the geocell system, the whole drainage mess! A very difficult and unusual job for me, and I learned a lot. Murray in my mind made it happen.
So thanks again,
Bill Boehle, Construction Coordinator
