Seven steps, every one in writing — led personally by Edgar from the site walk to the Certificate of Commission.
How a project moves from a phone call to a finished terrace — and what you’ll have in writing at every stage.
Call or text the office at (202) 525-7884, or send the estimate form. We’ll ask for the address, what you have in mind and your timing — and set the site walk.
Edgar personally walks every site before a single figure is written. He reads the grade, the drainage, the access and the stone already there, and brings samples so you see them against your own house.
A written proposal: the scope, the stone, the price, the payment schedule, approximate start and completion dates, and the warranty. It’s signed electronically — nothing rests on a handshake.
A signed proposal and deposit reserve your start window. If your project needs a permit, you’ll already know — Edgar tells you on the site walk, before you sign.
Edgar’s crew builds it, start to finish. The base and the drainage first — the part you’ll never see — then the stone, set by hand and leveled one piece at a time.
We walk every stone with you. The final invoice follows the final walk — not the other way around.
Every completed commission receives a numbered Certificate of Commission and the Edgar Warranty in writing: five years on the stone, ten on the base — transferable to the next owner.
Edgar personally walks every site before a single figure is written. Estates are accepted by private consultation — a limited number each season.
