Backyard

This infinity edge could butt up against screening foliage while leaving - in between - a soak trough offering skyward vistas bracketed by 2 more infinity edges: upstream water and screening foliage.

Q

I like the use of squares and the multiple levels and the stone colors and the awesome square patches of grass proving stark and refreshing contrast to the stone.

Q

Barbecue only layout.

Q

What about pearlescent brown/gold pool tile for sides of barbecue?

Q

I like these flower boxes for bordering living areas.

Q

Another option for seat walls: autumn gold (or some other) stone veneer for top and side "paneling"

Q

They don't represent my color choice, but these wall and cap stones go together.

Q

I don't love the slate cap on top of the seat wall but how to balance your drink?

Q

Incorporate a vine around some portion of seat walls and barbecue?

Q

Possibly steal this idea for a short column atop stone at ends of barbecue...could incorporate a torch or light.

Q

Bar needs more overhang for knees. Don't like materials.

Q

Don't like this modern gray synthetic atop semi-rustic country cottage stone.

Q

Note variance in bar and work surface, backsplash. Don't like thin slate on top of thicker rock.

Q

Notice how the modern simplicity of this pool and hardscape marches the modern simplicity of the building/architecture.

Q

Good example of how pure hardscape in center area (functional) can be flanked by lush plantings to make it less cold/barren.

Q

Stone levels still cozy and inviting - not cold - even without grass and excessive plantings.

Q

Simplicity of grass-framed swim lane with lush vertical growth.

Q

Majestic tall waterfall.

Q

Centered spa, potentially flanked by play shallows that leave room for a swim lane beyond.

Q

Cool reflections.

Q

Submerged fire pit and bar stools.

Q

Stone with grass/sprout grout.
