The homeowner came to GoldGlo Landscapes with the vision of creating a large entertaining space with a relaxing natural atmosphere and beautiful aesthetics. They wanted their new outdoor space to complement their European-style home in a wooded setting. While they envisioned a place to enjoy the great outdoors, they also needed a safe area for the grandchildren and dog to play.
One challenge of this project was sourcing the correct color of flagstone for the 1600-square-foot patio. The homeowner requested a natural flagstone without the blue or grey colors typically found in Pennsylvania flagstones.
The steep slope from the home to the wooded area (a seven-foot elevation) required a raised patio with multiple levels and steps. The homeowner requested minimal disturbance to the large trees, which created a design challenge and called for extra care during the build process. An extensive drainage system was needed for proper stormwater management.
