Patio Sampler

Just a few samples of some patios that we worked on.

Big ones, small ones, intimate ones and pool side ones.
Inspiration and variety.

Michelle, you are truly an artist - just LOOK at those gorgeous patios! Not sure which is my favorite - leaning towards the fireplace and cozy chairs under the redwoods. Beautiful work....

Thanks for your note and thoughts
