The distinct spaces can be seen from this overhead view. The dining area is separated from the social space by three large containers on one side and from the fire pit by a low profile planting bed on the other side. A small grill with counter is conveniently located near the three season room. Landscape design by John Algozzini. Photo courtesy of Mike Crews Photography.

Design ideas for a traditional partial sun front yard concrete paver driveway in Chicago for summer.

This is an example of a contemporary front yard concrete paver driveway.

The granite-like surface appearance makes Umbriano a popular choice for sleek, modern projects as a paver or wall product. Its unique mottled surface is achieved with ColorFusion Technology which randomly disperses rich color and granite particles to achieve a natural, non-slip texture. These characteristics make it a popular choice for pool decks.

This backyard started out as a flat, simple yard with a lot of green grass and landscape beds. Our clients wanted an additional outdoor entertaining area other than their existing wood deck. We designed and created a space that best fit their needs. We started out with demo of the existing lawn area and digging to prepare for the Unilock Concord XL in Granite retaining wall installation. We then began the Unilock Patio installation in the Beacon Hill NY Blend color selection. The final “Steps” were to install a bluestone stepping stone path to connect the front of the home to the backyard entertaining space and to install the Unilock Concord XL Steps with Unilock Ledgestone Coping. The Unilock pillars connect to the retaining wall and steps which create a distinct, grand entrance to the new patio area. The Unilock Pillars were also installed using the Unilock Concord XL in Granite with Ledgestone Coping. The finishing touches of this project included new sod installation to repair the disturbed grass areas as well as the installation of Arborvitae is in the black mulch beds that provide a natural privacy screen or as others may call, privacy fence. The clients have a great area now to entertain, relax and dine in their newly improved outdoor patio area.

We love the combination of paver colors the clients selected for their Unilock patio and hardscape. The field of the patio features Unilock’s Beacon Hill Flagstone pavers in the platinum color, and the darker soldier course features Unilock’s Series 3000 pavers in black granite. We built the outer edge of the patio with Unilock’s Ledgestone.

A magnificent cobblestone driveway horseshoes around to a modern French Chateau estate. These homeowners were looking for a comprehensive landscape plan for their newly completed custom home. They wanted an extensive driveway, a planting plan that would provide privacy in some key areas while accentuating the style of the home, as well as a pool, fire feature, hot tub, new stone entrances, and a play center on artificial turf. We provided a design that brought together all these items with a very specific colour palette which we repeated throughout different elements.
