Jose
Garcia has
been a landscape contractor for 24 years and has gravitated to doing a
lot of rock work. He has built innumerable retaining walls of timbers,
boulders, drystacked and mortared stone. He has built foundations out
of stone and mortar and put rock veneer around the base of a straw bale
building to raise the level of waterproofing. He lays about 20 tons of
flagstone a year in patios and walkways. Over the last couple of years
he has built a half dozen mortared flagstone staircases. In Colorado we
are blessed with a wonderful red flagstone with great tensile strength
that he uses to make benches. He tries to work with the stone's shape
as it comes, and can generally lay out a patio with a minimal amount of
cutting or chipping, and the benches are free form and distinctly shaped.
Mostly he's out rolling boulders and flipping flagstone on a daily basis.
