Every photo here is our own work. In-progress photos are marked, because the base and the drainage under a patio matter as much as the stone on top.

How we work, step by step

A dry well, from the first shovel to the last stone.

Scroll through a real Machado job. Most of a good drainage system ends up underground, so here is what the finished lawn hides.

01Dig and lay the stone base
We dig to the right depth for the roof or yard water and lay a bed of clean crushed stone.
02Level the first ring
The first ring of concrete blocks is set and leveled. Everything above depends on it.
03Stack the rings
Rings go up course by course, staggered and tight, to the depth the water needs.
04Set the cover
A concrete cover goes on so the well can carry the soil above it.
05Tie in the pipe and backfill with stone
The inlet pipe is tied in, the well is wrapped in stone and the yard is put back clean.
