Bluestone and clay pavers have the advantage of withstanding the test of time, staying true to their colors. To get the larger patio they wanted, we used our clients' salvageable Ashlar pattern tiles, and added new Ashlar bluestone, bands of bluestone squares and a double band of clay pavers. The low, mortared limestone seat wall is original, dating back to the 1920's.

Enhanced curb appeal for the front and a face-lift for the pool, spa and outdoor patio space in the backyard; all result in tranquil outdoor living for these Dallas, TX home owners. We designed the custom patio to include unique, full-color plank Pennsylvania Bluestone on the deck that resembles a wood floor pattern. The patio deck leads out to an outdoor kitchen and bar covered by a custom pergola of smooth cedar finished in white matching the aesthetic of the home. Continuing the cohesiveness, we used the same full-color plank Bluestone for the small patio outside the outdoor pool house as well as smooth thermal Pennsylvania Bluestone for the spa, pool coping, and step pads around the pool. http://www.onespecialty.com/enduring-springs/

The existing porch and steps of stamped concrete were replaced with patterned bluestone and bluestone treads. A “foyer” of bluestone outlined in Valders stone mimics the arch-shaped windows on the home.

Building a Dream Backyard When this homeowner started the design process of a new backyard, Braen Supply was immediately there to supply all the stone materials. The home was part of a new development, so the challenge was to make the home stand out while still addressing specific areas of the existing backyard, such as the steep grade. Working With the Experts Taking the steep grade into consideration, moss rock boulders were selected to create stairs down to the lower area of the backyard where the fire pit sits. The grade of the backyard also allowed for the infinity pool, full color bluestone pattern was selected as the veneer for the back wall of the infinity pool. Braen Supply chose Tennessee gray and bluestone to create a seamless transition from the front of the house to the back of the house. Although they are two different stones, they work nicely together to complete the overall design and tone of the home. It all came together and made the perfect backyard.
