Major Landscaping - Drought & Flood-tolerant
Impressed from the get-go. The Rio team were really enthusiastic about the challenging and complex project. They were very willing to work with me to refine and adapt the design as it came together.
It gave confidence when I heard the crew laughing and enjoying the team feel. Didn't feel like anybody was doing the minimum.
The design called for mixed gravel/rock to simulate a dry streambed and ponds, with areas of wood mulch. There was a fair number of small plants and shrubs - but wasn't intended to be fully populated.
They also did a patio-block patio area - really careful to get it right, - fencing, concrete sidewalks and a landing from the stairs, and used existing block to complete a sidewalk down the side of the house, again, meticulously laid, leveled, and grouted.
The dry pond was intended to prevent water pooling near the house on the previously flat lot. It served well in recent rain/hailstorms (see picture below).
I get lots of positive comments. Frequently see people (as the song says) "slowin' down to take a look" (just not at me!)

We loved reading your review sir! It was definitely quite the project. I am so thrilled the drainage is working exactly as designed and it looks SO good with water in it! Thank you for your trust and letting us get creative :)
