This luxurious patio was created from locally available bluestone, perfectly integrated with the screen porch, (see interior shot above) allowing for a lovely flow from inside to outside. This flow seamlessly continues via a lighted stone pathway through a wooded area that connects the patio to the parking area. An agile re-design quickly evolved as Greenbuilders worked in concert with architect Laurie Stubb to actualize a design inspired by a visit to a local stone yard, where we saw beautiful local bluestone "steppers" -- massive slabs of natural "live-edge" stone, which we modified just a little for graceful, natural steps. The resulting design complements the style of the house and neighborhood and plays perfectly with the natural setting and landscaping. The connecting wooden deck was constructed from sustainably harvested ipe wood and requires no environmentally harmful preservative treatment. The permeable patio along with smart grading, plantscaping, an extensive vegetative swale, and water management strategies quickly and efficiently solved the site’s significant stormwater runoff issues. Turning what was once a mud puddle into a stunning and inviting outdoor space, it was common for the neighbors to stop by admire and cheer on the work!
