Outdoor Living Space

If you have read my blog posts with any regularity you will know that I am always up for a challenge. I have seen many outdoor baths in the past but I have never seen one that is incorporated into a rock retaining wall. I am loving this challenge. We are creating an outdoor living space like no other. This will be a long process due to the fact that I will be taking my time with this one. Truth be told the home owner also washes my clothes....so I had better get this one right!

We Have A Goal

What is our goal?

Our goal is to get a testimonial on each and every job we do.

I believe this will do......

I hired Monte and Cascading Creations to expand my driveway into a sloped back yard. The project included two sets of stairs, a double-level retaining wall and a significant amount of fill. I knew this was a challenging job but Monte was able to take my vision and turn it into a reality better than I expected! 

He responded quickly with a reasonable quote, started the project when promised, worked quickly and listened to my input while using his experience and creativity to build a beautiful addition to my property. I am very happy with my experience working with Monte and will recommend him to friends and family.

Regards,

Dan Morris

Doing The Right Thing

If you have been in business for any length of time you will encounter an unhappy customer. We recently had such a situation. I will man up and say right now that the customer had every right to be unhappy. I didn't give her project the attention it deserved and did the project while she was out of town. It is this exact situation that can separate the men from the boys per-se. We addressed her concerns within the day and rectified the project to her satisfaction within a couple of days. I have often told you that I will tell it like it is. The good and the bad. It just so happens that this bad has turned into a good due to my reaction to her concerns. Apology accepted and a customer retained. If I do nothing else for the week I will be satisfied with how this one turned out.

Matching A Look For Our Customers

We go to the ends of the earth....Well at least Cheney, to find just the right rock.

You see, this cusomer wanted to match the rock that was already around his home, but he needed a retaining wall to build an extra parking place for his extra vehicle. 

Here was the problem....

We didn't have any of that type of rock in stock.

So...It was off to the races.

Well, It was off on a rock hunt.

I found some rock that was a great match....But you wouldn't believe where I found it....

It was all over the ranch where I grew up...

The customer loved it and so I set it up.

We harvested rock from the fields and hills were I grew up and made a wall out of um.

Let's just say that this wall has some extra special meaning to me....Those same rocks are what made me love what I do so much and here I was making a wall out of them for a customer.....

I wonder if he will ever understand the significance......

I doubt it, but I always will!

What To Do With A Couple Of Hours To Kill

Well.....Here is what you do when you have a few hours to kill at a job site.

1. You start with a pile of boulders.
2. You tear out old RR tie retaining wall.
3. You build new retaining wall with previously mentioned boulders.
4. You dress it off with a fresh load of gravel.
5. Strategically place decorative rock in the right spots

Wa-La you have a brand spankin' new driveway with decorative accents.
