Paving Patterns and Borders

There are many ways to update the look of your patio with the strategic use of paving patterns and designs. A basket weave or herringbone pattern will add interest to your patio without being overwhelming. Combining square and rectangular pavers of different sizes creates a modular laying pattern with a relaxed feel. Irregular shaped flagstones in an asymmetrical pattern leads to an informal patio with a natural look.Borders are a striking way to elevate the appearance of your patio. They can mark boundaries, help direct the flow of traffic, and define outdoor spaces. Borders in contrasting colors will create a dramatic effect while double borders will provide even more impact. By repeating borders and colors in other hardscaping elements, Premier Landscape’s masonry contractors can create a cohesive look across your landscape.

Seating Walls

A seating wall brings form and structure to your patio while adding convenient permanent seating. A seating wall can help define an outdoor room and provide overflow seating during large get-togethers. A seating wall around a fire or water feature will create a natural gathering spot. Smooth coping with a rounded edge will provide the most comfortable seating option. Consider adding cushions to introduce more color and increase comfort.

Fire Features

A fire feature will turn your backyard patio into a destination you’ll never want to leave. Imagine early morning coffee by the warmth of a modern fire table. Or curling up in front of a beautiful fireplace at the end of a long day. And there’s no better gathering place for friends and family than around a rustic fire pit.Related: 6 Ways to Add Interest to Your Outdoor Stone Fireplace in Jamestown, RIWhatever your style, a fire feature will bring warmth and ambiance to your patio.

Water Features

The soothing sounds of flowing water will create a calm and relaxing atmosphere in your backyard. Adding a water feature can help mask out the sounds of the neighborhood and attract birds to your yard. Whether you have a small patio or large yard, we can design a custom water feature to suit your landscape.If you don’t have a lot of space, a pondless waterfall could be the ideal solution. From a sleek and modern sheer descending spillway to a natural stone waterfall, a pondless waterfall will bring moving water to your yard with a much smaller footprint than a pond. For larger yards, the combination of a pond and stream will create the kind of a tranquil environment that many people long for.

Outdoor Kitchens

An outdoor kitchen will expand your living space and allow you to spend even more time outdoors. From a simple grill island to a fully functional outdoor kitchen, Premier Landscape can work with you to design and build a kitchen that fits your lifestyle. Take advantage of the freedom of cooking outdoors by adding features you wouldn’t have inside such as a smoker or pizza oven.
