A great example of how a compact backyard can be turned into a beautiful outdoor haven. With a creative approach, this small space now boasts all the main features on the client's wish list: pergola, gas fire pit, water feature and covered patio area. The square, horizontal/vertical layout gives a modern feel, which is merges with its wooded surroundings thanks to a combination of wood, brick, stone and slate. The height of the pergola frames the landscape and creates a cosy atmosphere under the surrounding tall trees. Kristin Karch

The Rose Outdoor Living Space, including deck, patio and fire pit, was designed by Brent Langley. The patio was built using Belgard Moduline pavers and Black Diamond accent pavers from Techo-bloc. The natural gas fire pit was built with Belgard's Wellington Wall blocks with Onyx Black Piedimonte Caps. Low-voltage accent lighting was used under the caps.
