Hardscaping Complete

We started the landscaping in December and there was a lot of clean-up and prep work - mostly not photo worthy. Now we have the hardscaping pretty much completed. In front, the wall is done and we think very pretty. We also added a trash/recycling paved area so that things weren't so messy. And the curved path is well used. Lighting will come soon.



In back, we now have a huge patio with a small pergola. We are trying to figure out where on the pergola to mount the giant overhead heater. We are thinking of adding iron work to hold it. Thoughts? Suggestions?





We also have two fountains and a firepit (gas/wood). They match the look of the house and create a peaceful, meditative spot in the yard. The giant slate stepping stones lead to what will be a mid-sized lawn. Perfect for soccer, football and general play. We also had the outdoor kitchen covered in matching stone to the house and WOW, what a difference. Hope you enjoy.

The stone looks awesome. We've not yet been able to put together a plan for the back yard - but I know I want some type of hardscaping included.
