Limestone slab stairway climbing the terraced hillside at Clarion Cove

The Clarion Cove back slope before work began — bare soil and mismatched rubble walls — Before

The same slope after — tiered limestone beds, stairway and drought-adapted planting — After

Featured Project · West Lake Hills

Clarion Cove

A hillside that was washing downhill every time it rained, rebuilt from the drainage up. Hundreds of feet of limestone chop retaining wall, a slab stairway linking the pool terrace to the upper patio, and drought-adapted planting on every tier.

Drawn, Then Built

Capped limestone beds at the entry, the side yard and around a stand of live oaks, plus a composite deck off the covered patio. Every piece was rendered before it was built, then photographed from the same angle.
