Log Work

Bridges / Fences / Arbors / Railing / Benches

 

There are many areas of mountain landscape that can benefit from hand-crafted log features. For materials that age nicely and withstand the elements, our choice of log is indigenous locust. We then compliment the integrity of the locust with the older growth branches of mountain laurel, which provides a decorative rustic finish.

 

Bridges

Many homeowners in this area are fortunate to have water on their property. To better utilize the land on either side of creeks, springs, or ponds, bridges can add a nice accent while providing access to otherwise inaccessible areas. We offer a variety of designs and will be able to build a bridge that best suits the surrounding landscape.

Fences

When used in your landscape, fences can provide numerous uses, such as defining property lines, bordering driveways, or serving as a backdrop to planting areas. In spaces where a taller fence is needed, we suggest a post and rail style. Lower spaces are best served by using a split locust rail fence, stacked and attached section by section.

Arbors

Arbors are an inviting and effective feature to enhance a garden entry or to designate a starting point for a walking path. Arbors help frame key spots in the landscape and provide a focal point for the eyes.

Hand and Deck Railing

While traversing a mountain path or stepping along stones, strategically placed hand rails will make your hike more enjoyable while providing a sense of stability. We are often commissioned to finish porches and decks with the increasingly popular log and branch style of posts and railings. We also remodel existing structures by replacing conventional lumber with locust and mountain laurel.

Benches and Settees

Time can easily get away from you when strolling through beautiful surroundings. A log crafted bench can be just the thing to take a break or enjoy a snack. A garden "settee" can also be a welcome addition to relax and take in the sights of your mountain landscape. A log bench can even be installed in a bridge to watch and listen to nearby flowing water.
