Hillside Retreat

A rock grotto fit for a Marine! This beauty, placed on some demanding terrain in Fort Worth. But because of a team with vision, the challenge was no match for this big Dream. The hero of this story is the Steele family and their desire to do more with their backyard then hide from the Texas heat and watch the grass grow. Mike's service took a toll on his body, and he's a good family man, so a swimming pool for private therapy enjoyed on his terms & schedule is the order of the day. And, he has a beautiful attraction for his family that's good for the soul. Eight tons of solid natural stone form a custom rock grotto and weeping wall that keeps the sun at bay from the strong western exposure.
