It’s a treat to receive photos of customers’ stonework. It’s a double treat when they include family members – human or otherwise. We opened our mail this morning to find this cute “bunny” posing in her family’s rock garden.
Hoppy Easter!
To celebrate our one-year anniversary, my wife and I took a weekend trip to Sarasota to visit the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, explore the city and eat some really great food. A nice couple that we did some work for (click here for more on that project) gave us guest passes to the gardens as a gift and we planned our getaway around it. Now, we’re back, encouraged that inspiration is only a short drive away.
Enjoy some photos and consider planning your own trip to Marie Selby (click here for details).
It’s only natural to want to show off a little when a special project is complete. Hope you’ll indulge this impulse and forgive a bit of exuberance.

That’s what we do: natural stone masonry – along with water features and integrated rainwater harvesting solutions. It’s Elemental.
We hope our new blog will be a hub of activity, providing education, guest perspectives, business networking. You are a big part of it. Please comment and chime in with your design dreams, experiences, and suggestions.
Look around at some photos, and experience what we mean by the art of welcome…our mission is to elevate quality of life with the arrangement of elemental materials.
Sincerely,
