These two projects, one in Mill Valley and the other in Corte Madera had two things in common- small spaces and new Indian Sandstone. In Corte Madera we installed a new Navajo Brown Indian Sandstone\u00a0patio. This\u00a0created a more elegant and\u00a0usable space, with screening\u00a0achieved with Bamboo in concrete pots. In Mill Valley, we installed new Navajo Dusk Indian Sandstone over an existing concrete path, making an\u00a0attractive new\u00a0entry.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our project was a rather small one involving our front entry, so initially I was concerned it was too small for O&#8217;Connell to be interested. But when I explained our budget constraints to Michael, he was very responsive in designing a project that met our needs within our budget. He incorporated existing elements so that the work was focused on the things that needed changing. The old and new were blended very nicely.<\/p>\n<p>The project itself was on time and on budget and we are very pleased with the results, both Michael&#8217;s design work, selection of materials, and the quality of the work done by the crews. Throughout the project Michael and the crew were very response to our questions and suggestions. Crews showed up on time, worked diligently, showed an amazing variety of skills, paid attention to detail, and did a good job of cleaning up at the end of each day.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, we are pleased with the result and enjoyed working with O&#8217;Connell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>-J.W.
