Green Grass created this gorgeous blue stone patio, brick stair way, and tabby walkway lined with bricks. The patio features the herringbone pattern used frequently by Charleston's first settlers.

The existing front entry featured bluestone and brick paving that dated the home. The new bluestone steps in a random rectangular pattern allow for easy access to the front door - even for those less abled. Boxwoods punctuate the corners and native pachysandra covers the hill side.

This Beautiful Bluestone Patio project consisted of the removal of the existing patio and select plant material with some items being transplanted. We then installed a new bluestone patio area using natural PA Flagstone (pattern cut) and a new path through the landscape bed using natural PA irregular Flagstone. New plants and enlarged landscape beds were installed around the broken flagstone walkway and new stone patio. Next to the patio we installed a custom privacy fence panel using Western Red Cedar lumber to give the new patio area a private feel from on looking neighbors.

100% pervious tumbled hollandstone concrete paver driveway installed in a modified basketweave pattern. We complimented the driveway with a different tumbled concrete paver apron and a ashlar pattern bluestone stair landing area.

To create a sense of cohesiveness, hand-cut and patterned Bluestone was used throughout. The shape of the patio was designed to include a visual balance of straight lines and natural curves. These careful details create harmony between the home, outdoor living space, and natural landscape beyond.

Studio AKA completely redesigned this Capitol Hill Townhome garden. The homeowners loved their historic townhome, but were world travellers with eclectic tastes, so we modernized their space and made it work both as an intimate respite and entertaining space. Included in the design are a new bluestone patio with contemporary pattern, charcoal colored pavers to define the path and rainstrip, diverse evergreen plants for four-season interest, a vine screen to create a green wall, new cedar fencing, and we even helped the client select an inky paint for their window bay which previously was white.

After root disruption destroyed a bluestone patio, Garrett Churchill installed a floating wooden deck made of ipe, which will allow for plenty of root growth and earth movement without disrupting the installation.
