For this large patio project located in Salem New Hampshire, the homeowners wanted a place to entertain a large number of guests. The patio area consists of 1400sq ft of Techo-Bloc Blu 60 Mojave Beige pavers. The patio area is surrounded by two sitting walls, and pillars constructed with Yankee Natural Wall Stone and capped with granite. The smaller circular patio is made from Clarksville Flagging Stone and is bordered in Farmers Chopped Edging Stone. Surrounding this patio project is 250 shrubs, trees and perennials and 20 yards of mulch. To top it all off 15 night lighting fixtures were installed all around the project. This was a great project to work on and we are extremely happy with the way it turned out.

For this project located in Southern New Hampshire, Interstate Landscape installed an outdoor living space consisting of 650sq ft of Genest Hollandstone Pavers laid in a herringbone pattern. The main patio color is Granite Blend and the border is Cumberland Blend. A small Diamond Block retaining wall, a Techo Valencia fire pit and 100ft of Rinox Belmont Border was installed around the above ground swimming pool. What really capped off this outdoor living space was the home owner installed an outside HD TV on the shed so they could enjoy the Patriots games with their neighbors from the patio!

Construction of A 10ft High Snowman

For this fun project located in southern New Hampshire, Interstate Landscaping created a 10ft high snow man in the cul-de-sac near their shop. Here is an article that was published in our local online newspaper.

“Bored? Got some extra time? Any heavy equipment?

Meet Bob, the ten foot high resident of Sheridan Drive made of snow. There was a bit of elbow grease used during his three hours of creation, but more can be attributed to hydraulic oil. Bob was created by the Gardocki family of Londonderry, owners of Interstate Landscape co. inc., and they took the liberty of putting some of their heavy equipment to use during the construction. Bob’s body and giant legs are made of snow, sticks were used for the arms, and plant pots are used for the eyes, mouth, and buttons.

One of the creators, Tom Gardocki said, “We did it for fun, but we figured since we have the big toys we should build a big snowman.” Tom worked together with his parents Bill and Gail to make the enormous winter addition to the cul-de-sac at the end of Sheridan Drive. Bob has now become a hit with the neighbors who are coming by to get pictures next to him with the kids. There is a time lapse video that is a must see to get a real sense of the scale of Bob.”

Large Wall and Patio Project

tom — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 12:50:56 +0000

This difficult project located in Windham, NH was quite a job. Interstate Landscape started with the removal of an old deteriorating timber wall. The homeowner wanted to create more living space in their back yard so after the wall was removed we excavated back 8ft of the hillside and removed about 120 yards of fill. When we were excavating we ran into three large patches of ledge that had to be removed. We then jack hammered and removed the ledge making way for the preparation of the base of the new wall. Once the base was completed, construction of the segmental retaining wall began. In total 400 face feet of three and six inch Highland Stone Earth Blend was used to construct the wall. After the wall was completed, base prep and installation of 800 square feet of Genest Baxter and Acadia stone pavers were used to construct two patios and connecting walkways. A Genest Windsor Block fire pit with metal liner was also constructed in one of the patios. The patio and walkway areas were lined with 400 lineal feet of Rinox Belmont Border. To top the project off 900 square feet of sod from Tuckahoe Turf was installed. This was a tough and challenging job but we feel the end result looks great!

A total of 800sf of Acadia Stone brick was used in constructing walkways and a patio. A Highland Stone double faced sitting wall with a pillar at each end was built on one side of the patio.

This recently completed living space located in North Reading Massachusetts was a great project and a real transformation of a back yard. This project included a gas fire pit made from TechoBloc and a Highland Stone sitting wall with two Highland Stone pillars at each end.We installed two Acadia Stone patio areas with granite steps and a walkway from the driveway to the patios. Trees and shrubs were also planted around the outdoor living space. Nightscaping night lighting was also integrated into the project with landscape and patio lighting. To top this project off, a Koi pond was constructed by Jeff and Kate Crary and Tom Gardocki. This beautiful pond has a waterfall and drip rock. The project was finished off with complete mulching of the back yard.
