Solution: A dynamic blend of County Materials’ concrete landscape products - Grand DISCOVER PAVERS®, Unity™ Landscape Units, ELEMENTS™ Paving Stones, PRESTIGE™ Coping Pavers, and SKYLANDS™ Concrete Deck Pavers - deliver a timeless, multi-functional outdoor living space in Wadsworth, Illinois, designed for enjoyment and unforgettable gatherings.
Multi-Zone Design Maximizes Space for Recreation and Relaxation
These Illinois homeowners envisioned a backyard that balanced elegance with playfulness. Working with Gro Enterprises, they achieved a one-of-a-kind retreat centered around a striking poolscape, complete with a life-size chessboard, integrated fire feature, and expansive entertaining zones - all crafted with premium products from County Materials.
The pool’s geometric footprint is grounded with Grand DISCOVER PAVERS in Enlighten, offering a sophisticated canvas that extends throughout the space. ELEMENTS Paving Stones in both 4x8 Beckon and 8x16 Vision were used to create borders and visual accents that enhance depth and movement. PRESTIGE Coping Pavers in Sea Salt were used for the pool coping and contribute subtle variation in tone, enriching the layout’s character while maintaining a harmonious palette.
A bold fire feature and seating area are built using Unity Landscape Units in Enlighten, merging form and function with clean lines and refined texture. This same product anchors the oversized chess patio, offering lasting durability and a polished look that resists weathering. SKYLANDS Concrete Deck Pavers in Reflection and Vision add vertical structure and architectural interest, completing the design with thoughtful dimension. Prestige Coping Pavers were used for the seat wall, column caps, fire pit cap, the steps leading to the spa, and the steps leading to the basement entrance.
Together, these products deliver a high-end backyard experience that balances recreation and relaxation equally. The result is a thoughtfully curated outdoor environment that invites lingering conversation, friendly competition, and serene poolside lounging.
