The goal of this landscape design and build project was to create a nautical inspired patio at a residence in Dennis, MA. We chose to use natural cleft true blue rectangular bluestone pavers to represent the ocean. The client opted for matching grey patio furniture that blended in with the stone, and accented the patio with a white and blue floral border. Designed and built by Skyline Landscapes LLC.

to make this modern style pool and spa pop, we poured rectangular steps leading from the side yard to the back patio and to the firepit and sundecks. we made this a zero water, no maintenance yard and bordered the steps with salt river rock, then added artificial turf (artificial grass) for a softening effect. the patches of green really stand out among the more subdued colors of the rocks and concrete.

The client wanted to transform the backyard into a space that would be perfect for relaxing or for entertaining friends and family. On the wishlist were a pool, an outdoor living space, and an outdoor kitchen. The design started by locating the vinyl liner, rectangular swimming pool (with auto cover) in the optimal location. From there, we designed an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven off the back of the house. Nearby, we included a cabana with bar seating, a TV, and a bathroom. All of this is on a Nicolock Alpine Ridge Granite City blend paver patio. To work with the existing slope of the property, we designed and installed a raised patio on one side of the pool; the perfect spot for lounging poolside. Lush plantings were installed to create multi-seasonal interest throughout the backyard and pool area.

Large backyard featuring grass area, stone patio with pergola, stone fire pit and in ground rectangular pool. Two sliding glass doors provide access to the open kitchen, living and dining floor plan.

Unique municipal restrictions prevented the building of a wooden deck, so removable panels of Brazilian Ipe hardwood were placed on concrete deck piers to form a stable patio area. All the luxury extras are included, from spillover spa, to lounge area with fire feature, to outdoor dining area with two separate BBQ stations. Twin sheer descent waterfalls lend drama to the pool and spa. (42 x 11, custom rectangular)
