Dave & Noreen called when their pool builders were wrapping up their project in October; Dave had considered building a patio himself, but quickly realized it was more work than he was willing to tackle. The hardscape and landscaping design process involved many design hours and 3 meetings until all details of grading, pool fencing, paver selection, and lighting were finalized.

Just beyond the pool’s edge, a columned patio offers covered seating with wicker armchairs and cushioned lounges arranged for both relaxation and conversation. Ceiling fans above add comfort, while thoughtful accents such as patterned throw pillows and greenery give the area a refined yet approachable atmosphere. The layout connects seamlessly with indoor living areas, creating a fluid transition between interior and exterior. Perfect for entertaining or unwinding, this modern poolside retreat showcases the balance between contemporary design and everyday comfort, making it ideal for both casual afternoons and elegant gatherings.

Example of a transitional patio design in Philadelphia

This is an example of a mid-sized partial sun backyard wood fence landscaping in Toronto with a pergola.

This patio design and outdoor kitchen idea is inspired by our Travertina Raw slab. The Travertina Raw patio slab mimics the texture of natural travertine in a concrete material; making it a more durable option in harsher freeze-thaw climates. Pave luxurious poolsides, patios, walkways and backyards with this travertine stone alternative. This product line has enjoyed huge success and has now been improved with an ultra robust mix design, making it far more durable than the natural travertine stone alternative. Techo-Bloc has now extended the collection to a double-sided, structural retaining wall system, two wall caps and pool coping in order to fulfill customer demand for this luxurious product.

Pool - large traditional backyard stone and rectangular aboveground pool idea

Techo-Bloc materials were utilized throughout, as well as locally manufactured copper lighting and LED wall lighting. This project began just before Thanksgiving, and continued until the end of the year. Construction of the patio resumed in March, and landscaping was completed in May after installation of pool fence and a custom designed cedar arbor. All the pillars and retaining walls received a custom tiered cap, adding more architectural detail to this masterpiece of an outdoor living space!
