Stone Planter Design & Installation in Bedford, MA

Rattle Bluestone Planters and Front Step Design and Installation, Bedford, MA.

The following project lasted around 4 weeks and is almost complete. Final photos will be uploaded once completed.

After meeting with the client, I then put together some renderings of what the final product would look like. The stone we used is called a Rattle Bluestone and I would have to say that it is one of my favorite stones to use.

We will start with the Renovation of the front steps.

After Designing the front steps and prior to demo beginning, we realized that the front portico was built directly on the front steps. We built a bracing system to bear its weight before demo and during the reconstruction process. 

The Risers are made with the Rattle Bluestone and the treads are a Thermaled Bluestone.

New Railings and post are going to be installed, once the bracing is removed... as can be seen in the photo below.

The next item to be renovated was a collapsing brick plantbed in front of the right side of the house.

The finished product:

From there we moved on to a much smaller planter located just to the left of the steps pictured above.

The final item was the largest of the planters that has a light column which rises from the end.

The newly designed planter is just under 3' wider than the old brick planter viewed below.

The new light fixture will be added this coming week to the column below.
