What We Build With
Every Oak Roots project starts with the right materials. Here is exactly what I build with and why it matters. natural limestone, travertine and marble, White Oak and Douglas Fir timber, and premium fiberglass pools.
Retaining Walls
My limestone retaining walls combine timeless beauty with exceptional durability, creating a natural look that complements any outdoor living space. Each stone is carefully selected and installed to provide both structural strength and lasting visual appeal.
Unlike manufactured wall systems, natural limestone offers unique textures, rich color variation, and a character that only improves with age. Whether used to create raised patios, define outdoor living areas, manage elevation changes, or frame walkways and steps, limestone delivers a clean, upscale appearance that blends seamlessly into the landscape.
I offer a wide range of limestone options to match the style and scale of your project, including 7-inch and 11-inch quarried limestone, large-format wall stone, natural boulders, live-edge limestone, and custom combinations of materials. These naturally broken and split-faced stones provide an authentic appearance that cannot be replicated by manufactured products. Every wall is designed not only to perform structurally but also to enhance the overall character of your property for decades to come.
Patios & Pool Decks
The foundation of every exceptional outdoor space starts with the right surface. That is why I offer premium travertine and marble pavers. natural stone known for its beauty, durability, comfort, and timeless appeal.
Travertine has long been one of the most sought-after materials for patios and pool decks. Its natural composition helps reduce heat absorption, keeping it cooler underfoot than many traditional paving materials. even for barefoot traffic during the warm summer months. For an even more refined look, marble pavers add rich natural veining and unmatched elegance.
Unlike many traditional paver systems, my travertine and marble installations feature precision-cut stone with extremely tight joints. Because the stones are cut to precise dimensions, there are virtually no gaps between pavers. eliminating the need for polymeric sand and the cracking, erosion, staining, and weed growth that come with it. And in the rare event a paver is ever damaged, individual stones can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the surrounding patio.
Pergolas & Pavilions
The beauty of a custom outdoor structure begins with the timber used to build it. I primarily use premium White Oak and Douglas Fir, each selected for its strength, durability, and timeless character.
White Oak is one of the most respected hardwoods for outdoor construction. known for exceptional strength, natural rot resistance, and distinctive grain. I typically finish it with a premium stain or protective oil that enhances the wood's natural beauty while keeping its unique texture and color variation visible.
Douglas Fir offers a different but equally impressive look. with warm tones, straight grain, and excellent structural performance. Because my Douglas Fir timbers are kiln-dried, they hold a painted finish beautifully, letting you go from a classic stained timber look to a crisp, custom-painted finish. Combined with traditional timber-framing techniques and meticulous detail, these materials create structures that feel substantial, authentic, and unlike anything built with standard dimensional lumber.
Pools
A pool is more than just a place to swim. it is the centerpiece of an outdoor living space. That is why I proudly install premium fiberglass pools featuring industry-leading designs from Imagine Pools.
Imagine Pools are engineered for beauty, durability, and long-term performance. Unlike traditional concrete pools, fiberglass features a smooth, non-porous surface that is comfortable underfoot and naturally resistant to algae growth. That makes routine maintenance easier and reduces the need for constant chemical adjustments. so you spend more time enjoying your pool and less time maintaining it.
With a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, tanning ledges, and built-in features, an Imagine pool can be customized to fit anything from a simple backyard retreat to a complete outdoor living environment. Paired with a travertine pool deck, custom pavilion, outdoor kitchen, fire feature, or natural limestone walls, a fiberglass pool becomes a seamless focal point for gathering, entertaining, and relaxing.
