With 17 years experience building dream outdoor spaces, I know we can build your dream. We are a small enough company that we retain a personal touch with each customer throughout the design and creation process, yet we are large enough to develop grand-scale outdoor living areas. We can build a single planting bed to grow perennial flowers, or we can develop an area of five acres or greater involving numerous elements, phases and contractors. We believe it is important for an outdoor living area to feel like an extension of your home. Our mission is to build a landscape project that is architecturally relevant, relaxed and constructed to fit the natural setting of your property. We work to create the feeling that the inside of your home simply flows outside.
"Virtuoso was an excellent partner. The entire process, concept development, budget development, timing, communication, professionalism, honesty, and then final result is beautiful."

I enjoy the entire process; from design, installation, and the finishing touches of new outdoor living spaces. I worked in this field most of my life, since I was born and raised in Europe where I worked with stone, masonry and pavers frequently. After I moved to America, I decided to pursue a career in hardscaping. I have now worked in this industry for many years and I will continue to provide quality workmanship. We started in this industry in 2000. We describe our business as Family owned and operated. Let us elevate your backyard into a stylish outdoor living space, perfect for entertaining and creating lasting memories with family!. We provide expert project planning, professional paver installation, unique vertical features, and ongoing maintenance to seamlessly blend your indoor and outdoor spaces.

Your monthly gas bill will increase by $0.35 to $0.62 for each hour you operate your fireplace. The exact impact depends on your specific model's efficiency rating, local utility rates, and usage frequency.
Many homeowners find that strategic use of a gas fireplace can reduce overall heating expenses by allowing them to lower the thermostat in unused rooms while keeping gathering spaces comfortable.
Gas fireplaces often prove more economical when heating specific living areas rather than an entire home. For example, using a fireplace in your family room while reducing whole-house heating can yield significant savings.
The comparative efficiency depends on your home's layout, insulation quality, and the relative costs of gas versus your primary heating fuel. Homes with open floor plans benefit more from strategic fireplace use than those with numerous separate rooms.
Self-installation is strongly discouraged due to safety concerns and regulatory requirements. Working with gas lines presents serious risks, including leaks, improper combustion, and potential carbon monoxide hazards.
Professional installation ensures proper venting, appropriate gas line sizing, and compliance with local building codes. Additionally, many manufacturers void warranties on self-installed units, potentially costing more in the long run if problems arise.
Converting from wood to gas involves various components and considerations that affect the final price. The project requires installing a gas line, adding a fireplace insert or gas log set, and potentially modifying the existing chimney or flue. Costs vary based on your current fireplace configuration, desired features, and local labor rates.
Consult with local fireplace specialists for quotes specific to your situation, as structural modifications or venting requirements can significantly impact the overall expense.
