Birks Company since 1970
The early years were spent in commercial and residential construction. Luckily we had the good fortune to spend five years working on a variety of structural engineering projects with James Madison Cutts, Consulting Structural Engineers, Inc. This amazing education in structural restoration has been applied to our waterfalls and hardscape construction techniques.
Simultaneously, we established a relationship with the landscape architecture firm of Oehme, van Sweden and Associates, Inc. and have been working with them since 1978. We have completed dozens of projects that are featured in their books; Bold Romantic Gardens and Gardening with Water.
