Back yard space for entertaining includes a gas fire-pit, infinity-edge water fountain, and curving steel and cedar pergola. Floor is paved with Cut Bluestone and features a soft green divider. Rain garden helps collect and divert water around the patio and down the slope. Ipe deck with stainless steel cable railings and wide easy-to-navigate steps provides dining space next to the kitchen and access to the patio below. Dry seating area below deck provides another intimate space. Front yard design takes advantage of mature maples, while updating plantings and adding lovely cedar and steel screens.

What material is used between the flagstone patio pieces and what is the spacing between them? »
Lori Scott Landscape Design It was designed by me and custom built by David West (Structures in Landscape). Clear cedar posts (6x6), curved steel powder-coated beams, clear cedar beams (4x4). Custom brackets. David even fabricated clear plastic post caps to protect the end grain of the expensive posts! The radius of the curve was specifically designed to fit the space, and the height planned to block views from the house up the hill. The scale and quality of this structure would make it unlikely to be mass-produced...
how did you build the firepit? - did you use concrete or cinder block for the surround? Is that slate used on the cap? Thanks for any help. I love the look of it!! »
