These homeowners insisted on a spot for creating memories with their friends and family in their new outdoor space. A custom U-Cara firepit makes this possible as the center of this patio design. Both walls and pavers on this project call out the light and dark grey tones of the house making it look and feel harmonious.

A magnificent cobblestone driveway horseshoes around to a modern French Chateau estate. These homeowners were looking for a comprehensive landscape plan for their newly completed custom home. They wanted an extensive driveway, a planting plan that would provide privacy in some key areas while accentuating the style of the home, as well as a pool, fire feature, hot tub, new stone entrances, and a play center on artificial turf. We provided a design that brought together all these items with a very specific colour palette which we repeated throughout different elements.

The design of this grill island reflects the lifestyle of these homeowners who love to host parties for their friends and neighbors. The beautiful colors of Rivercrest Coastal Slate blend effortlessly with Richcliff and Courtstone used for the patio pavers – all drawing on the blue tones of the house.

Several outdoor ‘rooms’ knit seamlessly together in this beautiful outdoor living space, featuring Umbriano pavers. These large rectangular stones were placed in a unique herringbone pattern, transitioning to a running bond pattern poolside. A grill island, pillar bases, firepit and spa surround were created using Rivercrest Wall. Both the vertical features and the paver areas are further accented with Town Hall and Copthorne pavers in a rich Basalt color.

This project might be small on space, but it’s big on impact. The sleek grill island features a bar-style overhang which allows it to do double duty as both cooking and eating space. Strategically placed to create symmetry with the grill, a contemporary firepit visually grounds an adjacent relaxation area. Both the grill island and the firepit are constructed using Lineo Dimensional Stone.

Shed - traditional shed idea in Boston

These homeowners faced a significant challenge when designing the patio of their dreams. The yard sloped into a forest backing onto their home. This was resolved by building several steps that lead to a beautiful sunken patio with a surrounding U-Cara retaining wall that showcases their lush gardens. They chose to also add a U-Cara firepit as the focal point, so their family can relax in a cozy setting.

The antiqued-textured finish of the Estate Wall firepit, retaining walls and seat walls in this backyard recreate the appearance of aged, natural rock. This is a timeless look that the homeowners can enjoy for years to come with their family. Many summer nights are spent cooking on the barbecue and smoker while the kids prepare s’mores for dessert.

We love the combination of paver colors the clients selected for their Unilock patio and hardscape. The field of the patio features Unilock’s Beacon Hill Flagstone pavers in the platinum color, and the darker soldier course features Unilock’s Series 3000 pavers in black granite. We built the outer edge of the patio with Unilock’s Ledgestone.

We enjoyed designing this beautiful, multi-faceted set of outdoor living spaces in Kildeer, IL. The screen porch is a fantastic transition from home to outdoors.

We are very proud of this award-winning design that encompassed all aspects of this family’s outdoor life with the benefit of low maintenance materials. ~Custom designed and built by Archadeck of Chicagoland

This family loves spending time together in their expansive outdoor entertaining space. An attractive curved staircase divides the space into two distinct areas: dining and entertaining on the upper level and poolside fun on the lower level. Bristol Valley™ pavers were used throughout the space and Brussels Dimensional™ was used to create a wide variety of vertical features, from the garden and retaining walls to a complete outdoor kitchen, fire table, water features and a cozy firepit seating.
