after changes to a building, the new back door had to
be connected with the existing pavement on the left.
We decided to create a circular patio built from
natural stone, and connect it with the existing concrete pavers in a way
that the two materials form one unit. We also added some exciting rock
boulders and a small foundation planting consisting of medium-sized
grasses (Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah') and various groundcovers.
A pool patio is being installed around a free-form
swimming pool. More photos of this project will be added at a later time.
(in cooperation with Sahin Stonework).
The two photos on the right show one of my older jobs
where a new house addition required extensive re-grading and terracing.

A large bluestone patio with a fireplace is
accessible from the house via raised granite slabs that cross through an
area with poor water drainage. The surface water will run off through
the gaps between the widely spaced stepping stones.
The wet area is planted with groundcovers so
that no lawn has to be mowed in this location.
These old images are from a pool patio including coping
for which rectangular cut bluestone has been used.
