CONSTRUCTING THE NATURAL STAIRWAY & NATURE WALK
(Design & Project Coordinator: Max Nolan; construction by Max Nolan, Forrest Lineberry, and day laborer Richard Rawson)

The path was hand-prepared, the rocks imported to line the stairway and prevent erosion and a good tampable soil/sand mixture brought in by hand, wheel-barrow by wheel-barrow.

The rocks are placed and set so they appear as natural as possible, yet do their job, preventing the path from eroding when the Spring and Fall rains come.

Here the ground has been filled and smoothed in preparation for cutting the stairs.

Finalizing the grade and repeated tamping of the soil, as well as pulling it up and around the rocks so they become part of the landscape, not stuck on top as if dropped there by human hand.

And, now it's ready for the log treads/risers that will make the stairway itself.

This is what the just completed stairway looks like from the top.

Beautiful, isn't it? And, here, it's newly completed. Notice that it already looks like it's always been there. That's the LMN trademark. We build things right, with just the right artistic touch, and we build them to last.





NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION, REMODELS, CUSTOM DESIGNS & SPECIAL PROJECTS

We build everything to last and never compromise on materials or structural integrity. In fact, Coeur d'Alene's Building Department, when approving our plans for a very extensive double deck over a cliff complimented the integrity and long-term safety of the project, easily approving it while other home owners deck projects had been denied.
