Our latest job all started with the love of a volunteer grapevine. The homeowner had a grapevine come up near her back patio slab. Surely planted by the birds that frequent the neighborhood. She at first was skeptical and tried to cut it back, dig it out, and otherwise destroy it. It just would not die. So, being the reasonable person she is, our homeowner decided if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em- so to speak. She let it grow up and over a dog kennel, and when it engulfed the dog kennel she used a wooden support. The grapevine of course continued to show it’s can-do spirit and covered everything put in it’s path.

Meanwhile Impressive Restorations was working on a neighbors patio and our grapevine friend came over for a look. She loved the idea of salvaging her concrete patio, even enlarging it a bit… but first must come the grapevine. What she needed was a pergola, a really sturdy and lovely looking support for her grapevine. Impressive Restorations agreed to do both. The results are a happy home for the volunteer grapevine, and a new outdoor room for our homeowner! The patio slab was repaired and enlarged, then Impressive Restorations put down a hand designed flagstone overlay. We hand-colored it to the homeowner’s liking. We were rewarded with jars of Grape Jelly… from the very intrepid grapevine. It was great, by the way! Thanks Betty!
