This week's crazy weather wreaked havoc on our schedule at Bedrock. Granite and stone won't get damaged from a windy down pour, but our installers are perfectionists and they do a lot of specialty fabrication right on the job, so Mother Nature did set us back a bit. The good that sprang from the dark and dreary days though, came from some unexpected sources. Former (but always welcomed) clients!! We had done some amazing work on their new home along the coast and they were back with some new plans for an enclosed veranda - a gift of an idea born while they watched the storm beat up their beautiful back yard. Thousand of dollars in landscaping blown away - literally! While they pondered the loss of a priceless soft scape that they had nurtured for years, they realized that a much better use of their money would be a timeless hard scape that could last for decades. Outdoor living spaces are all the rage and Bedrock shines in the sun as well as indoors. We'll be designing a new fireplace, outdoor kitchen and an amazing water wall that complements their pool and beautiful view of the ocean. It's an exciting project that will be done just in time for sunny days - which is something we ALL look forward to.

IT'S BBQ TIME and also the time of year when we look outside to our aging equipment and long for that perfect outdoor space. A 2009 survey taken by the Hearth, Patio and Barbeque Association (yes, there really is one!) detailed that Americans spent over $150 million on home renovations and one third was for outdoor living spaces! If you are planning to tackle yours, ask yourself these important questions:
Consider the above and let Bedrock Stone Fabrication get your design started. Our outdoor spaces offer some of the best designs in the county. Watch for our blog next week on three common BBQ island designs. Let's do this together!
