The goal of this landscape design and build project was to create two patios in an elongated yard in Cambridge, MA. The main patio features a concrete Techoblock paver for dining and entertaining. A secondary patio made of reclaimed bluestone at the rear of the yard is set in lawn. The two spaces complement each other and are separated by a new cedar wood shed, vegetable garden, and a rose garden. Blue hydrangeas, daylilies, tall grasses and a mix of perennials make this garden an oasis near Harvard Square. Designed and built by Skyline Landscapes, LLC.

At the other end of the pergola, we built new stone columns around the pergola’s support posts. Those columns flank the new rectangular gas-burning fire pit we built for this space. Instead of building the columns and stone fire pit on the existing concrete patio, we built this structure OFF the patio. We peeled back the AstroTurf next to the patio and placed the new stone structure here to avoid losing usable patio space.

The steep drop from the backyard’s side entrance to the pool and patio level is beautifully handled with rugged stone slabs which have been interspersed with a contrasting pattern of random rectangular paving stones.

The generous patio areas around this pool are useful when entertaining large groups. The pool deck and other walkways and terraces are finished in custom beige Patterned Concrete with a rock skins texture defined by random rectangular saw cuts to give it a classic modern look.

A long rectangular swimming pool runs parallel to the renovated villa and the waterfront, creating a direct sequence from the interior to the terrace, pool and beach beyond. Large sliding doors open the ground-floor rooms toward the water, while pale stone paving and a darker deck distinguish the circulation and outdoor seating areas without enclosing them.
