Project Description:

The client desired a large outdoor dining area and some living space. They do a lot of entertaining and wanted a clean look and some privacy. A water feature was added to the existing pool along with outdoor lighting.

Though most of the work was done in the back yard, we also installed a porcelain paver walkway in the front of the home. A sodded lawn was included along with some carefully chosen plantings.

Project Materials:

The porcelain walkway in the front yard was installed using BayRock Moon Porcelain Pavers.

For the back-yard patio, BayRock Moon Porcelain Pavers were also used. The seat wall was wet laid with lava rock veneer and capped with 14” wide Bluestone. Bluestone steppers with SynLawn artificial turf were added. And finally, a privacy fence was installed using Black Aluminum posts and black vinyl boards.

Project Description:

The single-family home was built in 2004 and the only usable outdoor space our client had was a synthetic deck built in the back yard. They wanted to extend the outdoor space onto the left side of the home and connect it to the existing deck space.

Challenges:

The property is in a wetland, so we had to stay with the building envelope of the home to get this project permitted by the state and the town of Montville.

Solutions:

The design was built along the line of disturbance, which is why the firepit space juts out more than the dining space. We added an additional staircase to the deck and a stepper walkway to connect both spaces.

The client also wanted a pool but due to the special restrictions, they settled for an 11’ x 17’ spa that is semi-enclosed and accessible from the raised patio.
