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.

The dazzling focal point of this Thornhill backyard is a dry Gunite pool with premium PebbleTec white glass bead interior and Wiarton flagstone coping. The backyard had a drainage problem which was solved with a sloping raised upper patio in architecturally stamped concrete to re-direct the runoff away from the house. (18 x 42 custom rectangular)

Make outdoor dining feel effortless and beautiful with this inviting patio setup that’s ready for everything from casual breakfasts to evening gatherings. At the heart of the space is a sturdy rectangular table surrounded by coordinating metal chairs, all placed on an elegant patterned brick/paver floor that instantly upgrades the look of your backyard. Low stone walls and lush landscaping frame the area, while tall, neatly trimmed shrubs add privacy and a polished, resort-like feel. A striking planter overflowing with greenery and blooms brings fresh color right to the foreground, and the pergola/covered frame overhead helps create a comfortable, shaded ambience—making this patio the perfect spot to relax, entertain, and enjoy every season outdoors.

The far corner of the yard makes a nice place to curl up with a book while keeping a watchful eye on the kids in the pool. The pool patio is finished in architectural stamped concrete with rock skins embossing and a grey wash to complement the black granite coping. The random rectangular saw cuts add to the modern look.
