Surrounded by lush landscape, this ideal waterfall-focal point was created near the edge of an existing patio. With the addition of an attractive wood-burning stove and handsome wicker furniture it does double duty — you can escape there for some quiet, or enjoy it with friends. For the landscaping - a layering effect was used; in the background, several Norway Spruce provide privacy; a colorful Japanese Maple holds court behind the upper waterfall with the complementing perennial ornamental grass (Japanese Blood Grass) standing tall nearby; the pre-existing foundation is handsome Techo-Bloc (Elena in Earth Brown). www.deckandpatio.com

The monumental fireplace is a focal point of this luxury patio design. Installed between two established spruce, this fireplace was carefully designed to match the architectural design of the home. A custom cottage stone veneer gives the fire place and old-world feeling, while the Bluestone detail and reclaimed wood mantle provide extra visual interest. Photography by John Wiese
