Upscale Patio in the Woods
Looking to take advantage of and improve the usability of their backyard the clients desired a space for hosting at the back of the property. The large natural stone patio provides plenty of space for guests to gather and matches the forest's natural aesthetic. The firepit provides a fun gathering point and a beautiful center piece with its stone veneer. A seating wall was added to provide more seating and table space and give the space a more defined appearance. The boulder wall helps to meld the patio into the surround landscape and matches with the forest surrounding the space. Two walkways using the same large slabs of sandstone as the patio are found on either side of the patio to allow for traffic to flow in and out of the space. Finishing the project with hemlock and shade loving perennials and shrubs, like hosta softened the hardscape and allowed the entire landscape to fit into the woods.
