This rustic-contemporary patio and surrounding gardens were designed to enhance and complement a renovated farmhouse. The patio is positioned to take advantage of the southern sun exposure, and the wide stone paver joints allow the patio surface to blend seamlessly into the surrounding lawn and meadow. An abundance of flowering perennials, mostly native plants, provide year-long interest.

Cut paving stones reach into the lawn, blending softscape and hardscape at this historic renovated farmhouse.

Sunny gardens are an invitation to relax outside.

A wall built out of reclaimed field stone blends new and old materials at this historic farmstead.

Contextually sensitive landscape and architectural renovations modernized this historic home.

The high meadow fire pit and patio is the perfect place to watch the sun set behind the surrounding hills.

The fire pit of extra-thick cut Ashfield stone in the meadow mirrors the paving patterns near the house, unifying the landscape.
