Elegant Entertainer: A Formal Patio with Fireside Retreat
Location
Strongsville, Ohio
Date
August 2020
Role
Designed and Built by Rick Malone
This project features a formal paver patio designed as an elegant yet functional outdoor space for grilling and dining. The patio provides ample room for a seating arrangement centered around a dining table, creating the perfect setting for meals and gatherings.
A separate fire feature, thoughtfully set apart from the main patio, enhances the outdoor experience. Accessed via stepping stones, this cozy fire area is designed with natural flagstone, fostering a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. To further enhance the informal charm, large boulders were strategically incorporated, offering additional seating while blending seamlessly with the landscape. The result is a balanced outdoor retreat that combines structured elegance with natural elements, making it ideal for both formal and casual gatherings.
