Solution: Grand DISCOVER PAVERS®, ELEMENTS™ Paving Stones, Grand FUSION PAVERS™, and Summit Stone® Landscape Units transform this Nashotah, Wisconsin backyard into a multi-functional outdoor retreat that balances structure and softness while offering seamless transitions between elevated lounging, poolside relaxation, and fireside gathering.
Tiered Design Maximizes Space and Experience
The homeowners envisioned a backyard that would support quiet family evenings and lively entertaining. Outdoor Living Unlimited designed a layered space that integrates multiple zones, each defined by thoughtful material choices and refined craftsmanship.
The upper deck connects to the home and overlooks the yard, leading to a grand staircase constructed with Summit Stone Landscape Units in Reflection and finished with Smooth Wall Caps and 30x30 Wetcast Caps. This elegant descent sets the tone for the patio’s refined aesthetic and guides guests toward the pool and fire pit areas.
Grand DISCOVER PAVERS in Majestic form the primary surface, offering a bold slate texture and rich tone that anchors the space. ELEMENTS Paving Stones in Vision introduce contrast and movement, while DISCOVER PAVERS® in Reflection adds subtle variation. These materials work together to create a visually dynamic and cohesive layout.
Grand FUSION PAVERS in Vision and Tribute® Smooth Wall System in Majestic define distinct zones for dining and lounging, while Passageways® Step Units in Reflection provide smooth transitions between spaces. At the heart of the design, a Summit Stone® Circle Fire Pit Kit with Steel Ring in Majestic, filled with blue fire glass, invites year-round use and anchors the lower patio with warmth and ambiance.
Strategic lighting by Alliance enhances safety and atmosphere, extending the patio’s usability into the evening and highlighting the textures and contours of the hardscape.
