A backyard built for relaxing, gathering, and staying a while. This project features a seamless hardscape that flows around an in-ground pool, anchored by a sunken fire pit with natural rock seating cut directly into the patio.

Barkman Architextures walls and steps in Sterling were paired with Broadway pavers and a charcoal border for a clean, cohesive finish. A Rosetta Dimensional firepit in Northern Charcoal sits at the center of the entertaining space, connected by a grand staircase to a covered pergola.

Despite winter conditions, all hardscape construction was completed using ground heaters to maintain precision and pace.
