The project
A porchside transition recast in travertine, stone, and gravel.
The starting area included grass, leaves, and a concrete path below the screened porch. Urban removed the old path and installed a travertine patio beside the house.
The completed scope brings together travertine paver installation , a retaining wall , and gravel detailing . Fine gravel sits between the travertine pieces, with heavier gravel around the patio edge.
