Big things inside a small package

With heavy machinery not allowed on the property and with access limited to a narrow gate, our installers had to use extra ingenuity to move materials into and out of this fenced property. The Slatestone patio, in the Mocha color with a contrasting border, fits perfectly into the compact space, with room for plantings, including spruce, boxwood and pine trees and coral bells that add a contrasting purple.

The steps to the house are made of VERSA-LOK retaining wall units, topped with bullnose pavers for treads and anchored by a column capped with natural stone.

Even in such a compact area, landscaping can create a welcoming room for outdoor dining or just visiting with friends and neighbors. There's a lot to appreciate in this small-but-beautiful patio and entertainment area.
