Capturing the essence of the majestic, almost inimitable Adirondack Mountains sounds like a tall order, especially when your customer is located just outside of Philadelphia.

Preserving nature requires leaving no trace of man, so transporting and setting the 40 tons of firestone boulders on the mountainous property required a carefully orchestrated ballet of precision work with heavy equipment. The fact that it appears today as though Brian and his team never stepped foot on the property is a resounding testament to the craftsmanship of his team in composing this out-of-this-world treasure.
