Landscape Techniques
Patio - large craftsman backyard stone patio idea in New York with a fire pit and a pergola

Located on the south shore, this project was one of our pools in Massachusetts that featured a raised spa and a rectangular pool design. As the centerpiece of the backyard, this swimming pool is complimented by plenty of seating, a playground and some luscious landscaping.

A simple, compact pool makes for a great compliment to the adjacent outdoor room.
Hot tub - mid-sized contemporary backyard concrete paver and rectangular lap hot tub idea in Orange County

After completing an interior remodel for this mid-century home in the South Salem hills, we revived the old, rundown backyard and transformed it into an outdoor living room that reflects the openness of the new interior living space. We tied the outside and inside together to create a cohesive connection between the two. The yard was spread out with multiple elevations and tiers, throughout which we used to create “outdoor rooms” with separate seating, eating and gardening areas that flowed seamlessly from one to another. We installed a fire pit in the seating area, built-in pizza oven, wok and bar-b-que in the outdoor kitchen, and a soaking tub on the lower deck. The concrete dining table doubled as a ping pong table and required a boom truck to lift the pieces over the house and into the back yard. The result is an outdoor sanctuary the homeowners can effortlessly enjoy year-round. FROM THE CLIENT “We have used Kraft on multiple projects and all have been done with great care and quality. They have fulfilled everything I wanted and expected in a contractor.”
