Stylish security

Mark's youngest brother Greg, a wonderful carpenter, always has an improvement project underway at his house. When we stopped by last summer we discovered a new paver walkway to his front door and this lovely gate and fence into his back garden. 

Mark is 5'10" to give you a sense of the size of the structure. Though it is an attractive way to provide privacy, I think it is intended more to keep Greg's dog enclosed. 

I love how this metal tree insert adds a bit of whimsy while letting you see into the garden. 

Even the "Beware of the Dog" sign keeps to the style of the project. 

At Greg's house, every project — no matter the size or location — gets serious attention resulting in beautiful solutions for every situation.

Craftsmanship and artistry and vision run in the family on both sides! That really is a beautiful gate. Our side gate is having some issues. Jim needs to raise it, lower the stone threshold, or build a whole new gate when he retires! I'd really like a variation of a moon gate for the gate next to the garage. I'll have to start leaving photos lying around suggestively!

Great job. It adds so much to the entrance to the back garden. Talented families!
