Working on an original Frank Lloyd Wright home in Los Angeles was a very interesting opportunity for Shaw & Sons . Shaw & Sons matched the color of the blocks and the grid pattern using Lithocrete materials . The mix utilizes a waterproofing admixture and special sealers for longevity . All the paving was poured in place including the custom pool coping .
