Less Lawn More Garden
"The circular seating area links a large side yard with the equally large front yard, giving both a raison d'etre.
The rounded "carpet" of crushed stone has some nice detailing, including the block edging and the flagstone path that cuts through it. Not too casual; not too formal. Definitely inviting.
The rounded area (complete with two charming turquoise Adirondack chairs and a small side table) serves the same purpose as a front porch, providing bonus seating to the two benches on the entry threshold of this traditional home. This side yard treatment is both attractive and neighbor friendly."

mamahonda I am planning a similar gravel/paver patio. Did you lay sand down before the gravel? Also, would spreading sand over the gravel and watering it down help it stay in place? Thank you!

leniw I don't remember the name of the color, but it was a Sherwin Williams paint, the shutters are the blackest color they had and that is what we used. If I find the color card, I will post the name. Otherwise, go to their store and ask them to help you. The color was on one of the long color strips, not one of the individual color swatches.

shdami3 We went with LP smart side in byscane blue. It depends on the time of day wether it looks grey or blue.

The portico, clapboard siding, gambrel roof and double-hung, multipaned windows are all Dutch colonial revival characteristics.

economical way to have outdoor room -- build up with gravel and shape it, add large flagstone paths and interest until you can afford to do pavers, or mix with both textures.
