Project story

The design.

Curved walks follow the lawn to a round masonry fire pit. Its circular paved terrace has room for chairs around the fire, with a low stone boundary wall behind it.

Large stepping stones cross the gravel between the lawn and terrace. Trees, planted beds, and earthen pots follow the edges of the yard. After dark, the fire and landscape lighting bring out the curves in the paving and stonework.
