CREATIVE AND PRACTICAL DESIGNS 

CORTES HAS RECENTLY DEMONSTRATED ANOTHER SPECIAL DESIGN APPLICATION OF ITS NOVEL CONCRETE STAMP METHOD.  THE CHIMNEY ON THE HOUSE PICTURED BELOW WAS PRETTY DULL AND UNINVITING -- IT MADE NO STATEMENT THAT WAS IN KEEPING WITH A BEAUTIFUL STONE CHIMNEY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE.  CORTES RECOMMENDED THAT THIS SMALL CHIMNEY BE STAMPED TO LOOK LIKE IT WAS ENCASED WITH STONE, LINKING THE APPEARANCE WITH THE LARGE CHIMNEY NEARBY, BUT WITHOUT ADDING CONSIDERABLE WEIGHT TO THE ROOF.  IN THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPH BELOW, THE RESULT IS A DRAMATIC STATEMENT THAT WITH A NEWLY PAINTED RED ROOF (NOT PICTURED), IS A STANDOUT DESIGN FEATURE THAT HAS WON CONSIDERABLE PRAISE FROM THE CLIENT AND VISITORS. 

THE PHOTOGRAPHS ABOVE HIGHLIGHT THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF PILLARS AND GATES THAT CAN BE USED BY CORTES LANDSCAPING.
