Wonderful Things From Wood

 
With over 25 years in the construction business, Aqua Terra is well prepared to build and install whatever the design  requires. We specialize in  decks, arbors, fences and more...

 

 

This is a small arbor and bench constructed from pressure treated lumber. Wisteria will soon cover it. Click on the object in the rear of the arbor to see who is looking over your shoulder.

 Above is a 36' long Pergola built with Victorian touches. The paving material is squared Bluestone with cobblestone edging. Wisteria and climbing Hydrangea will soon cover it.

Here is a set of steps we built to get  from a second floor deck to garden level. A set of stairs descends to a hexagonal landing and splits into two flights. Climbing Hydrangea adorns the railing.

This is an entrance arbor to a formal herb garden built from pressure treated lumber. It will soon be  covered by Clematis.
Yes, we can even build whole houses. This one, still under construction in the photo, was built in Bath in  1986.

To the left  is a shadowbox fence constructed from native white cedar.

This is a fence we constructed from white cedar to conceal a generator.

A matching cedar fence stands beside it and hides the propane tanks.

        

 
A deck under construction using the new composite decking.
 The deck was built over a ledge which necessitated stairs down to the shore.
A Rose arbor used as an entry. It will have Climbing Hydrangea growing on it shortly.
Here we have built a hinged  mini-greenhouse, or cloche, atop a raised planter. It is ideal for starting seedlings and/or extending the growing season.
This is an attached arbor we built to provide shade and support for Wisteria vines. The patio is built using irregular bluestone.

 

 

  Here is another arbor and fence we designed and built using native white cedar. The fence is a period reproduction chosen by the homeowners to compliment their Victorian home.
This is the same period reproduction fence as on the left but in another area of the yard. It forms the back-drop for a large perennial border.
A cedar trellis with an arched top serves as a screen between houses.

 

Steps built for access to a cottage. They are a series of large landings built from pressure treated lumber and filled with gravel.
A cedar trellis built from scratch used as a screen and a support for vines.

Here we built an arbor from western red cedar to support growing grape vines. There is also flagstone paving under it.

 

This is an octagonal cover made from red cedar. It covers an old dug well but still allows access and does double duty as a bench.
