Solution: Grand DISCOVER PAVERS® and Tribute® Smooth Wall Systems transform this suburban backyard into a refined outdoor retreat, blending bold design with long-lasting performance. Complemented by ELEMENTS™ Paving Stones, the space achieves a cohesive, modern aesthetic with layered textures and architectural interest.
Modern Sophistication for Everyday Living
In Lake Forest, Illinois, this sophisticated outdoor renovation showcases the seamless integration of function and style. The homeowner collaborated with Krugel Cobbles to reimagine their backyard into a high-impact entertainment hub, complete with a contemporary fireplace, full-service bar, and ample seating for guests.
At the heart of the design, Grand DISCOVER PAVERS and Grand XL DISCOVER PAVERS in Majestic blend establish a clean, modern foundation. Their large-scale dimensions and understated surface texture create strong visual continuity across gathering spaces, while soft gray tones complement the sleek furnishings and dark architectural elements. ELEMENTS™ Paving Stones in a coordinating hue add refined detail and visual rhythm, enhancing transitions between functional zones.
The fire feature and full-service bar - both constructed with Tribute® Smooth Wall Systems - anchor the space with bold, architectural presence. These elements not only define key gathering areas but also showcase the versatility and contemporary appeal of the Tribute system. From the cozy fireside lounge to the well-lit bar and grilling station, every detail is intentional - designed to enhance usability, comfort, and lasting elegance. County Materials’ concrete pavers and wall systems provide more than just aesthetic appeal; they offer dependable strength and low maintenance for years of outdoor enjoyment.
Project Highlights:
Grand DISCOVER PAVERS and Grand XL DISCOVER PAVERS were selected for their bold sizing, subtle color movement, and ability to unify the space. ELEMENTS Paving Stones add refined detail and visual contrast, while Tribute Smooth Wall Systems form the structural core of the fire feature and bar, enhancing both form and function. The result is a striking yet approachable design that supports elevated outdoor living.
