Having issues with their stamped concrete and an overgrown landscape the client wanted to update their backyard to something welcoming, open and able to host large gatherings. The fire-pit features a 4' burner with a custom blend of fire glass and built with the same stone as the patios. We sourced stone locally and from the east coast to tie into the beautiful brick home. All the patios are installed using dry stone methods with polysand in the joints. The Bluestone is a five piece pattern with custom local sandstone inlays. We also built 2 circular patios out of our local sandstone with tight jointing. Beds have a mixture of shrubs, small evergreens and seasonal changing perennials. The mulch in the beds is basalt chosen to accent the patios and brick.

Moving back to the states from suburban London, the owners of this newly renovated house wanted the outdoor space to be as freshly designed as their home, with a sense of privacy for their family to enjoy the spending time together outside. Christine Krause Design Studio set to work opening up the backyard and reviving the shaded, patchy grass by clearing out the overgrown trees and scruffy pines, as well as the outdated planting scheme. Freeing up the area gave room for a new patio crafted from custom rectangular pieces of thermal bluestone set into pea gravel for a modern geometric pattern. The new upper patio features an L-shaped seating wall outdoor dining and entertaining. The seating overlooks the reflective blue of a water rill, recirculating parallel to two staggered rows of planted lavender that mirror the design of the bluestone on gravel. A new pathway leads the children out the yard to play, rounding by the preserved and pruned dogwoods. The contemporary gardens now take inspiration from the owner's’ love of English planting, with boxwood and viburnum, grasses, and perennial garden with a palette of purples, whites and silver grays that they can play with and add on to as they please. This family home now has the coveted English touch in the garden paired with a timeless patio they’ll enjoy for seasons to come.

This custom outdoor living project combines architectural structure, premium materials, and integrated amenities to create a highly functional, resort-style backyard. The existing deck was fully removed and replaced with a new patio cover featuring a clean 2/12 roof pitch, four large skylights with blinds, pine soffits, black hardware, and a durable PVC roofing system. Thoughtful detailing includes wrapped beams and posts, integrated gutters and downspouts, and discreet venting for long-term performance. The space is anchored by a fully built outdoor kitchen with a 42” Hestan grill, Danver flat-panel cabinetry, and Entzo countertops, designed for both everyday use and entertaining. A custom outdoor fireplace adds warmth and visual impact, complete with a substantial wood mantel and provisions for a recessed TV. Underfoot, large-format bluestone deck tiles in a staggered pattern create a refined, modern surface, paired with bluestone stairs and clean fascia detailing. Black cable railing with an IPE top cap preserves open views while maintaining safety. Comfort and technology are seamlessly integrated with recessed lighting, multiple heaters, Control4-ready electrical, and future-ready planning throughout. The result is a cohesive, high-end outdoor space designed for year-round enjoyment and future expansion.

This custom mural wrapped around a good portion of the kitchen and we managed to fit it in all the nooks and crannies! Love the contrast between the granite countertops and the dark wood cabinets.
