Patio project

I had a customer who wanted to add living space to the rather small strip of land behind his house.
It seemed that a patio would be best. By setting the stones with seams on the bias, it creates the illusion of a wider patio. In reality, the widest point is just 13 feet.
In the finished project, you can see how the garden comes into the patio area and also wraps the edge of the concrete retaining wall.

The challenge here was to make the most of a long, narrow back yard.
