Designing a backyard project when you have a lot of green space to work with means more room to play and experiment with different paving styles and patterns. The owners of this ultra-modern home were looking for something simple that would complement the color scheme of their home but still provide a relaxing and enjoyable elevated modern patio space for their family. The solution was not only to extend the patio, but to elevate it as well.

The elevated modern patio was constructed using Unilock Lineo Dimensional Stone in Midnight Charcoal as a base, with Unilock Beacon Hill Smooth in Opal Blend laid in a randomized laying pattern to offer a smoother surface texture that fit the bill for a sleek, contemporary look. The muted tones of Beacon Hill paired with a darkened outer paver border is a match made in heaven. The darker accent border wraps around the perimeter of the patio to seamlessly connect with the outer L-shaped corner gardens.

The palette of light-colored pavers allows for the patio’s darker vertical features to stand out. The centerpiece for this amazing design project is the vertical fire table, decorated with patio chairs and couch that guarantee family and friends are coming together for cozy, quiet gatherings. The fire table, as well as the vertical garden walls and pillars around the home were built using Lineo Dimensional Stone in Midnight Charcoal and topped with Universal coping in Light Grey. Paver lighting was installed into the vertical features of the home, including the outer elevated patio border and fire table to not only create safe walking spaces for guests, but also as unique visual enhancements. Another pro to topping your vertical features with Universal coping is the added benefit of Unilock EnduraColor technology, which protects surface features from fading over time, allowing your pavers to look as beautiful as the day they were installed. Convert your backyard into the space you didn’t realize you needed with the help of a range of Unilock pavers.
