This colorful project utilizes a wet lay brick walkway to adorn the front of the home. The back patio is a full color, natural cleft, pattern cut flagstone with a running bond brick border. As the stone ages, these colors will naturally grow more brilliant. We complimented this patio with bluestone steps and brick risers.

An Eden cut stone retaining wall with under-ledge LED lighting transitions the grade, while new Eden cut stone stairs link the outdoor living area to the upper yard. A larger entertainment space of full range, patterned bluestone and Whitacre Greer brick pavers gives more room than the old patio allowed.

Use of a medium Tennessee Fieldstone in a dry stack pattern along with Pennsylvania Blustone for a new pool deck and patio in a dimensional pattern. A PA Bluestone is also used for the countertop of the outdoor kitchen. A premium brown Canyon Creek flagstone is used for the chimney hearth as well as shoulders. The decorative curved masonry wall is matching Tenn. Fieldstone dry stack and Canyon Creek flagstone cap. The kitchen has electrical outlets throughout and items used for this specific kitchen are a new natural gas 4 burner grill/ refrigerator and a Green Egg. Storage is plenty with a double door cabinet underneath grill. A FANTASTIC outdoor living hardscape with plenty of area for fun and/or relaxation.

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.

Example of a classic patio design in Cleveland

Attractive existing sycamore tree line provides beautiful branching patterns behind a raised planter with low evergreen screening shrubs. Bluestone paves the steps down to a sunken bocce court that is surrounded by a stucco seat walls with bluestone cap. Lighting under seat wall cap allows use at night time.

Patio kitchen - mid-sized modern backyard stone full sun patio kitchen idea in San Francisco

Front Entry Garden. The custom designed gate was handcrafted from aluminum for low maintenance. The pillars are bluestone with concrete finials. Drylaid patterned bluestone walk opens to a welcoming circular garden area that helps to keep the walk in scale with the large home.

This Northport space was inspired by landscape designs that can be found in the Hamptons. Keeping angles straight, we used 24x24 bluestone slabs in a linear pattern without borders. We solved the grading issue by creating two levels with Cambridge Matrix 3" wall stone in Onyx Natural to complement the beautiful bluestone. We softened the landscape with boxwoods, hydrangeas, and added arborvitaes for privacy. Deck jets were added for a fun yet elegant touch. For the front entrance, a gravel driveway/courtyard (as in true Hamptons fashion) and natural stone steps welcomes visitors.
