At Timber and Stone Landscape Design, we strive to provide all of our customers with an exceptional experience starting from consultation to final walk through. We are highly focused on the safety and satisfaction of our employees because we believe they are the most important asset that we have. The best design, selection of materials and overall scope of work are all critical to a successful project, but we believe it is the employees that are executing that make Timber and Stone stand out. From the initial consultation, our goal is to instill confidence through organization and professionalism. We also recognize that large, transformative projects are stressful. To help offset this inevitability, we offer multiple levels of design consultation through our trusted design partners. We can also work seamlessly with your designer if you have someone you trust with your project. Give us a call and let's have a conversation about doing something special at your property.
"Nick and team were fantastic to work with. He was available at all stages of the project to consult with and even suggested some improvements when our original vision didn't look like it would work out how we imagined. The price was very competitive but the end result looked like we paid premium price. Even though we were a small job compared to most of their work, we were treated like we were his main priority. I would recommend T&S and Nick highly. "

Most municipalities require a building permit before you install a tornado shelter. That paperwork proves your shelter meets all safety and construction rules—including FEMA P-361 and P-320 guidelines—for extreme weather. Permit fees start at $50 and can run up to $100.
Check with your local building department first so you know exactly which forms to file, how long approval takes, and whether any extra inspections or fees apply.
Pre-built shelters keep costs down and install in just a few hours, so you’re protected sooner. Because they arrive fully engineered, you skip most on-site construction fees but still get a unit tested to stand up to severe weather. Models come in several sizes and materials, letting you pick the option that best fits your family and budget while still meeting FEMA standards.
A pre-built shelter goes in within four to eight hours. Custom builds—especially ones that need excavation—can stretch into days or even weeks because crews have to prep the site, pour concrete, and assemble the structure piece by piece. The longer timeline simply reflects the extra work needed to hit strict safety standards.
Plan on at least six square feet per person for tornado protection and 10 square feet per person if you also want hurricane coverage. For example, a 5-by-6-foot shelter comfortably fits a family of five. Add extra room for emergency supplies so everyone can move around safely during a long weather event. Enough space keeps your family both protected and comfortable.
If you live where tornadoes or hurricanes are common, a storm shelter isn’t a luxury—it’s a must-have. The reinforced walls guard against high winds and flying debris, giving your family a secure place to ride out the worst weather. Adding one is an investment in peace of mind every storm season.
