A dream backyard

If there ever was a dream landscape, this might be it. These homeowners in Rogers, Minn., needed a solution around their pool plus wanted defined areas for dining and relaxing. This project illustrates how our designers can combine various hardscape materials into a beautiful harmony.

Chilton steppers were selected to highlight the pathways around the home, and Chilton stone was used for edging, along with large river rock, cedar mulch and plantings.

Columns for the base of the pergola were constructed with VERSA-LOK Standard retaining wall units in Bronze Blend with a weathered texture. For patio surfaces, Willow Creek Paving Stones Slatestone pavers in Bleu with a sandstone border look beautiful whether the pool is open or covered.
