Solution: County Materials’ concrete landscape products create a durable, low-maintenance outdoor living area that enhances lakeside entertaining and everyday relaxation for this Menasha, Wisconsin home.
A Seamless Connection from Home to Water
Designed to embrace both entertaining and quiet moments by the lake, this residence in Menasha, Wisconsin, features a thoughtfully planned outdoor living environment that guides movement from the home to the shoreline. The homeowners envisioned a cohesive layout that felt open and inviting while maintaining clear circulation across the property. Creative Hardscapes brought this vision to life using a coordinated palette of County Materials’ concrete landscape products that balance function, comfort, and refined style.
The patio and pool deck serve as the central gathering space, offering expansive room for lounging, dining, and hosting guests. Grand XL DISCOVER PAVERS® establish a clean, large-format foundation that complements the home’s architecture and frames the pool with a polished, contemporary look. PRESTIGE™ COPING PAVERS provide a crisp edge around the pool, delivering both visual definition and a smooth, finished transition.
From the patio, a series of walkways guide movement throughout the landscape and toward the water’s edge. 4x8 ELEMENTS™ PAVERS add visual rhythm and subtle variation along key paths, creating a smooth, cohesive transition between outdoor spaces. PASSAGEWAYS® STEP UNITS manage elevation changes with clean lines and dependable footing, while strategically placed Smooth UNITY™ LANDSCAPE UNITS define low freestanding walls that help organize space and reinforce boundaries within the landscape.
Smooth TRIBUTE® WALL SYSTEMS retaining walls and seat walls support grade transitions and shoreline conditions while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the space. Together, these elements create a unified outdoor environment that connects each area naturally, offering flexibility for daily use and memorable lakeside gatherings.
