So my parents are having me design and construct the land behind our house. It's not a yard, simply a beautiful forest. They are incredibly set on lots of masonry (retainging walls, stairs, fire pit) and possibly a water element. They are looking to spend a lot of money on this and pay me quite well so it is going to be a fairly large prjoect. I'm only just graduating undergrad in architecture and would love some direction as to good landscape architect or architecture who use masonry. If anyone has some suggestions that would be great. thanks a lot
Kai, are you familiar with Louis Le Roy and his Eco-cathedral?
English summary and image gallery here
It's a never ending project...
The city of Heerenveen (NL) 'dumps' their stone-waste at Le Roy's cathedral and he turns it into magic with his bare hands.
Most interesting for me is the philosophy behind the project.
residential landscape architecture involving masonry

It's not residential, but might be inspiring...
