Mise à niveau de l'arrière-cour

1. Masonry work throughout the backyard: natural stone (e.g. travertine)
a. 0.5" thick tile over existing 2700 sq ft concrete patio
b. standard edge stone coping in replacement of current bullnose pool and spa coping (coping to remain flush with the patio)
c. standard edge pieces in replacement of existing precast concrete bullnose steps
d. 0.5" thick tile veneer over existing concrete vertical facings on side of pool (raised bond beam and pilasters)
e. 0.5" thick tile veneer over existing concrete vertical facings on low walls
f. in replacement of existing pre-cast concrete low wall caps and pool pilaster caps.
2. Replastering pool with Stonescapes MiniPebble
3. Replacing small grassy area with artificial grass putting green.

1. To raise the aesthetic standard of the backyard to a level commensurate with the interior of the house.
2. To create an impressive and timeless look for the backyard with an updated, modern, and inviting feel that is also a logical extension of the interior.

PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR PLAN DRAWINGS. WE ARE LOOKING FOR AESTHETIC DESIGN SPECS. There are many colors of travertine, tile sizes and patterns, combinations of primary stone and accent stone colors, etc. We are looking for a document that tells us what stone to use, in what size tiles, laid in what pattern, for each horizontal and vertical surface within the project.

What We Like:
We are seeking a look that is classy but also has some "wow factor". We prefer
- gold tones, beiges, and reds
- square or rectangular tiles (not irregular shapes)
One of the attached documents is a Word doc with a list of web links to photos - we have indicated in the document which photos we like and which we don't and why.

What We Don't Like:
- Rustic or Tuscan look
- Stone with grey or black tones or undertones

We are happy to answer any questions and look forward to your thoughts. Thank you!

PS We have a contractor selected already.
