Raised Rectangle Pool with Retaining Wall

The homeowners’ vision for their outdoor space was one of versatility and comfort, featuring a raised rectangle pool, a TV-equipped retaining wall, and a cozy sunken fire pit.

Guiding visitors to the backyard and around the raised pool deck are Unilock Treo® Smooth pavers in Granite, accented by a triple-wide border of Copthorne® pavers in Basalt. This combination not only adds a touch of depth to the space but also enhances the contemporary gray and beige tones throughout. For homeowners who are looking for a way to have efficient rainwater drainage at their homes, Treo Smooth offers the perfect solution. Designed with special spacer bars for permeability, it effectively manages water runoff, crucial around areas like the pool’s edge where splashing can create slippery surfaces. The addition of Copthorne as an accent paver brings durability and timeless charm, echoing the appeal of classic European street pavers.

Descending the sunken fire pit area, Unilock Granito™ pavers in Notte form the main paver bed, arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Encircled by seating, the fire pit, crafted using the rustic Sunset Fire Pit® kit, adds a timeless warmth to the space. Surrounding softscape elements, including the raised planter beds, shrubs, and nearby potted plants, add vibrant splashes of color to the landscape.

To address the sloping terrain of the yard, a substantial retaining wall was installed, forming an impressive raised patio and pool deck. The design features U-Cara® with smooth-faced fascia panels in Granite Fusion, paired with Ledgestone™ coping in Buff on the step treads, retaining wall, and fire pit, resulting in a project that exudes rugged elegance.

Completing the outdoor entertainment space is a large TV wall, built using U-Cara with smooth-faced fascia panels, and covered by a pergola, creating a comfortable outdoor space for movie nights with friends and family. Patio lighting helps brighten the perimeter of this raised pool deck, aiding in night-time navigation while also setting a cozy ambiance for unwinding beneath the stars.

The result is a stunning and functional outdoor oasis, offering multiple spaces to entertain family and friends. Discover how to enhance your outdoor paver patio project by integrating a variety of natural elements that seamlessly blend with your home, creating an organic and inviting atmosphere.
