Small Backyard, Big Transformation in Lewis Center, Ohio
Custom Unilock Paver Patio, Landscaping & Outdoor Living Design
A beautiful outdoor living space doesn’t require a large backyard—just thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship.
For this residential project in Lewis Center, Ohio, Traditions Landscape Group transformed a compact backyard into a beautiful, functional outdoor retreat. We removed an outdated concrete patio and redesigned the space to incorporate a spacious paver patio, pet-friendly turf, natural stone pathways, and thoughtfully selected landscaping.
A Custom 630-Square-Foot Unilock Paver Patio
The centerpiece of this backyard transformation is a 630-square-foot paver patio featuring Unilock Beacon Hill Smooth pavers in Fossil, accented with Unilock Holland Premier pavers. Unilock Single Fullnose coping provides a finished edge, while Oberfields Versa-Lok retaining wall block in Flagstone Blend adds structure and definition to the design.
The expanded patio creates comfortable areas for outdoor dining, grilling, and relaxing, maximizing the available space without sacrificing style or functionality.
Pet-Friendly Landscaping & Natural Stone Details
To make this smaller backyard practical for the entire family, we incorporated a dedicated area of synthetic turf, providing a low-maintenance, pet-friendly space.
High Format Fond du Lac Superior Steppers create a charming natural stone walkway through the landscape beds, adding visual interest and connecting the outdoor spaces.
A carefully selected combination of shrubs, perennials, and ornamental trees brings texture, seasonal color, and year-round appeal to the design. Plantings include:
- Japanese maple and arborvitae
- Hydrangeas and spirea
- Bird’s nest spruce
- Hostas, daylilies, and liriope
