Meadow Home
This project marked a huge growth for us when we took it on in 2017. Before this time we had never worked on such a large property, and we still look back with pride. Work started early, with Onyx doing the excavation work for the contractor. The homeowners chose a beautiful spot in the meadows […]
Bluestone Masterpiece
When we look back on this project, it’s with fondness and pride. This residential project let us work with fantastic clients and do work that really challenged us- in all the best ways. Work began in 2019 with the front of the house: Phase 1 included designing and installing new bluestone landings, bluestone walkways, self-capping […]
Woodland Retreat
Onyx began work on this project in the Fall of 2022 and tracked to completed Fall of 2023. The project consists of a large landscape scope – new custom pool and spa, granite terraces, walkways and steps, cobble parking court, stone retaining walls. The outdoor kitchen blends both granite and panted brick materials, with a […]
Contemporary Forest Hideaway
Onyx handled this project start to finish, from excavation of the house foundation, down to the install of the last perennial planting. There was a large amount of masonry stonework on this project – boulder walls, retaining veneered walls and chimney veneer. Chinese granite was imported for the hardscaping elements, this includes the paving for […]
Woodstone Farm
The clients had a vision of a centuries-old New England farmhouse nestled within rolling meadows, set back along a country road. To achieve this, mature shade trees were planted, and an apple orchard was reinvigorated by transplanting seasoned apple trees from a retired farm in Western MA. Blueberries and ferns were harvested from Maine and […]
Riversedge
At the initial site meeting, the first thought that came to mind was “you want to put a pool where?!”. This project was particularly challenging due to the steep 50’+ grade change, from where the house perched high above, to the river below. The project was designed, engineered, and built in such a way to […]
Outdoor Living
For this project, we collaborated with Custom Quality Pools as well as local Landscape Architect Elizabeth Hanna Morss. As a team, along with the client, we selected materials that best matched the family’s vision. The large stone terrace travels around the spa and pool area, anchored by the pool house. Our in-house masons completed the […]
City Escape
One challenge about this property is that the town line of Boston runs through it – the house address is in Brookline, however a section of the property is considered to be in the town of Boston. This created some challenges regarding permitting since we had to facilitate permits from 2 different town offices. Eric […]
Concord Fields
Situated among a quiet meadow, this property is a gem containing many fascinating elements. The existing bluestone terrace was extended out from the house, a new granite terrace met the bluestone and wrapped around the new pool and spa. A large monolithic granite landing was craned in, to function as a step into the pool […]
