At the driveway, the walk ends in a half round landing that has a brick border around the perimeter. The brick edge makes the bed stand out and keeps everything neat while also keeping the water moving in the right direction. The Pennsylvania bluestone is in a random rectangle pattern with mortar that matches the house. Photographer-Nancy Dransfield

The clients and their guests intend to spend many hours on their patio. For that reason, cut and patterned bluestone was chosen as a stable and durable material that reinforces the intended character of the space.

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.

Perennial plantings and shrubs wrap around the house; staggered step stones of thermal top bluestone echo the asymmetrical pattern of the pavers at front entry.

This is a simple pattern of natural cleft variegated (that's the color) bluestone pavers. The "sand" in the joints between the pavers is a rubberized bonded sand that won't track all over, flexes so it doesn't crack, and can be touched up years later seamlessly.

Our clients desired a landscape that complimented their contemporary, energy-efficient dream house. Reflecting the existing landscape, we added a large grove of vertical birches, underplanted with groundcovers, adjacent to the house and garage. A paving pattern using 48” square bluestone tiles move you from the front of the house through the breezeway, and onto the patio in the back where it is occasionally interrupted by trees, boulders, and groundcovers.

AFTER: we recycled the clients existing bluestone and extended it with thermal bluestone. We created a "pattern" within the bluestone to blend the two different stones used. photo credit: Megan Maloy www.meganmaloy.com
