This edging is constructed with Midnight Blue stone. We added colorful plantings to enliven the landscape.
Here is the same project at the home's entrance. We curved the edging with the sidewalk for clean edges.
By mixing different hardscape elements, we were able to create a tasteful and functional area. We used bricks for edges to pour the concrete, and we set cut pieces of Pennsylvania flagstone for visual effect.
We used bricks for the wall to elevate this nice spot to spend the afternoon. Dove Grey stone with polymeric stone dust serves as the floor for the patio.
Outdoor entertaining areas like this Belgard paver patio we built add enjoyment space when the screen porch isn't enough.

Another view of the patio area. Stepping stones through the river rock makes a path past the Disappearing fountain to other areas of the yard.
Retaining walls give a sloped yard more usable space. We drystacked Ashler wall stone after grading the area for the Earthtone Craborchard walkway and patio. We built a Disappearing waterfall into the steeper part of the hill to provide the owners and their guests the soothing sound of falling water. To see this and other waterfalls we have built, click on picture to link to our Water Feature page.
The walls are constructed with Ashler stone and the walkway is Earthtone Craborchard flagstone with polymeric stone dust in the joints. We installed Zeon Zoysia behind the wall after completing the stone work.
