Mario da Silva has the eye of an artist but certainly doesn’t display the temperament of one. He incorporated our ideas into his design and patiently worked out the details with us so that we could fit the project into our budget.

During construction, he was open to our suggestions and concerns. He and his crew managed to transform our headache of a backyard into a wonderland of stone walls and waterfalls - a place where we can garden, relax, and entertain.

We love to sit on our screened porch with a glass of wine and the sight and sound of water rushing down the hill before us.
