View from the steps. A large stone slab was cantilevered to act as a wier stone for a water feature which will come to life in the spring. Over 76 tons of stone was used on this project between labor day 2008 and Decemeber 15th. Because of the hillside location all stones had to be placed by hand. The backhoe dumped them at the top then I had to "coax" them into place using spud bars, rollers and just plain back muscle.

A view of the stepping stone stile. The client and I wanted to create a way to traverse the stone wall to the bottom. I suggested a stone stile and walkway. The slabs are cantilevered into the wall to create a walkway to the bottom. I would have to say the clients cats do use this quite a bit as well.
