An Inviting Patio Improves Any Home
The clients love entertaining and needed an outdoor space that was open and adaptable to a variety of uses. This flagstone patio located in McLean, Virginia achieves all that and more. Accessible via several doors, guests can easily move around during cocktail parties, or enjoy the expansive patio from the table while dining al fresco.
The homeowners enjoyed their spacious deck, but they felt like they were missing out by not having a patio from which to really enjoy the yard. In this Chantilly patio project, we created a space that’s easily reached from the walkout basement and provides ample space and wonderful views of their plantings.
“Getting there is half the fun” doesn’t just apply to long journeys. We created this simple yet beautiful flagstone path in Clifton, Virginia as a way for the clients to take the “slow lane” when reaching their pool. Boxwood hedges and a beautiful redbud tree set off this delightful flagstone walk.

The grand staircase welcomes guests to the patio in this Oakton backyard. Curved steps grow ever larger as visitors descend, and the gracefully curving handrails echo the look of the iron gate and railings above.

Round Patio
Square patios are functional, but thinking outside the “box” can lead to a memorable project. This paver patio in Chantilly Virginia offers ample space for outdoor living, grilling and a seat wall. What makes it memorable, though, is the way the round landing and steps to the yard flow into the patio. A creative patio design can make any backyard BBQ something your friends will talk about weeks later.
