Design ideas for a mid-sized rustic full sun backyard stone formal garden in Philadelphia with a fire pit for summer.

A space for entertaining with a dual fireplace as a centerpiece. It is two separate fireplaces combined into one structure. The common brick of the fireplace, seat walls, and piers was painted to match the home and maintain the historic feel of the property. The capping all around is Indiana limestone, as is the hardscaped floor and stair treads. The floor pattern is a 45 degree diamond with cabochon inlay of round bluestone. Each transition or entry to the hardscaped space is flanked by short piers. Tupleo and sargent crabapple are specimens just outside the living space in the background with judd viburnum in the foreground flanking the piers. Within the beds are upward directed lights that reflect light off the specimens and brighten the area. The piers are lit with bullet lights to note their prominence and announce an entry.

a raised deck was added so that a new corner spa could be nestled into the garden and be seat height, eliminating the need for steps up to a tall hot tub. A removable section of the deck allows access to the mechanical panel in the spa. A cut-corner spa was selected to allow more circulation around the spa. Custom lattice panels with a narrow trellis top complete the spa experience and provide privacy from adjacent houses in this tiny urban garden.

We designed the driveway to have precast concrete pavers with a wet cast paver edging. A granite curb laid level with pavers for additional strength. The entire driveway is not heated for winter. New bluestone step treads are added and narrow grooves are cut underneath so we could also heat the steps and landings. New bluestone wall caps are added as well as LED wall lights, steps lights and under the wall caps. A new handrail was also added for safety and ease.
