Backyard Transformation with Natural Stone Patio, Retaining Wall Steps & Custom Fire Pit
This backyard design blends structure and warmth through thoughtful material selection and layered outdoor living elements.
A custom retaining wall and step system was built using Oberfields Versalok block in Earth color, creating a seamless transition in elevation. The steps are finished with Unilock Ledgestone Smooth coping in Sandstone, adding a clean, architectural edge.
Key Features of the Backyard Design
The main patio features High Format Dimensional Flagstone in Fond du Lac, delivering a timeless, natural stone aesthetic that anchors the space.
A Berlin Gardens Outback Pergola was installed to define the seating area and provide shade, enhancing both function and visual interest.
At the center of the design, a circular wood-burning fire pit area creates a relaxed, natural gathering space. This feature includes:
- Oklahoma Brown natural stone steppers
- Brass Field Fines aggregate
- High Format Belvedere fire pit kit in Fond du Lac
To complete the space, Pro-Trade low-voltage landscape lighting was installed throughout, with path lighting for safety and subtle illumination, along with spotlights to highlight the rear architecture of the home at night.
