The truth behind Stone Terraces

Craftsmanship. Craftsmanship. Craftsmanship. The world has built with stone, from plinth, to monument, even citywide for as long as the material has existed. It lends itself in the landscape as a base to build upon or as a feature to boast, exuding poise and character. In the case of the residence on Portland's southwest hills, stone has been used to create terraces to allow a young family to utilize their yard with some ease; meaning less concern for critical drops in grade where their youngest member is concerned. Stone procured is local Columbia Basalt in the cut, curb stone.
