It is always a dance to determine the best look for stairs within the scope of a wall.  Here, we opted for the curved look, something somewhat dramatic to open out as one climbs down them, witnessing the incredible view of this place.  Notice the waterfalls at each side of the stairs, which I posted earlier.  These are uncommonly interesting when they flow.

Same timing as the preceeding days, just before the planting process involving plants and perennials.  This project has become a labor of love, I have serious “pep in my step” when I visit here.  We are suspecting we have something very special ongoing, as does the client.  I will post finished pictures as we develop.

Another view of the Washoe Valley project, the 10 acre landscape for our good friend.  I will keep these going, especially inasmuch as these are actually “progress pictures”.  We are now beginning to add plants and perennials which we have not yet addressed, owing to such a severe Winter and the drainage issues which we were forced to deal with.  This is recently taken and is something of a “before” picture.

This and the next three shots are of a house currently under construction, here in Reno.  Check out the fabulous views!  The stage we are at was, prior to our recent dismal Winter, having installed almost all the major trees for the entire 10 acres of this marvelous setting.  This is a project for a great guy and friend, who hit it sort of large in home building and decided he wanted to make his Home Of Dreams.  We are trying to make that work.
