Landscape, Hardscape

# Private Residence Screen Wall, Texas -

The inherent qualities of masonry yielded a finished project which will last for decades to come. MC was Dee Brown Inc., Garland, Texas; architect was B2 Architecture LLC, Dallas; and GC was Dee Brown Inc., Garland, Texas.

Inc., Portland, Ore.; architect was SRG Partnership, Portland, Ore: and GC was Hoffman Construction Co., Portland, Ore.
