Example of a mid-sized trendy backyard stone and rectangular infinity pool design in New York

The homeowners desired a luxurious backyard in which they could relax with friends and family. We designed and installed a rectangular pool which includes four deck jets, a quartzite patio, fieldstone walls with a built-in water feature, an extra-large ground-mounted umbrella, and landscape lighting for ambience. Quartzite was selected for the patio both for it’s interesting appearance and its ability to stay cooler in direct sunlight than other natural stone materials. In conjunction with the landscaping, we coordinated with the homeowners and the architect in the installation of the cabana. The deck was pre-existing and not part of the design.

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.

To add visual interest and keep garden debris out of the pool, a full-length feature wall clad in Wiarton tiger stripe ledgerock was added along the hedge. The matching Wiarton pebble top coping of the pool complements the clean lines of the random rectangular saw cuts in the architectural stamped concrete patio.

For this family in Chatham, NJ we were hired to build them a bluestone patio at the rear of their home. The patio includes a modern gas fire-pit, built-in grilling station, a bar complete with built-in refrigerator and kegerator, (2) light piers, a sitting wall around the perimeter and (2) sets of steps. In order to give the home continuity from front to back, we used matching natural blue bluestone tiles of random sizes, matching real stone veneer to all stair risers, structure sides and walls. 2" thick bluestone caps were used for the walls and stair treads. We installed LED strip lighting below the lip of the wall caps to give them some night lighting. The counter top material for the grilling station and bar is 1.25" Quartz. The finished product was a great success and we couldn't have asked to work for a better family. We wish them many good times ahead in their new outdoor living space! #GreatWorkForGreatPeople
