Glen Tay 2013, Backyard Patio, Steps and Firepit

            What a transformation! Check out the before and after shots of this Perth Ontario backyard. This landscape project was made into the clients own personal oasis. Stonebridge Landscapes designed and installed 2 separate patio levels to maximize her entertaining area, utilizing Permacon Traflagar paving stones. The upper patio level is complete with an in ground fire pit, using Permacon celtik wall - perfect for those backyard summer parties. We also utilized Permacon Lafitt Tandem wall, along with natural stone to complete the project, blending it perfectly to the driveway, side entrance, the gardens and surrounding yard. We know it will be enjoyed for many years to come!

            WestPort, This Project was completed during the spring of 2011. The customer spent three years lovingly restoring their historic home in Westport, Ontario. Stonebridge finished the restoration by completing all the interlock paving stones as requested by the customer. The project included a waterfront patio, several walkways and a large driveway area. The paving stones were blended with natural stone retaining walls and historic natural stone steps which were supplied by the customer. The hand cut stepping stones were salvaged from the restoration and are a great match for the paving stones. Approximately 4000 sq ft of Permacon Mega Bergerac Plus pavers (Ardennes grey) were used. These paving stones were chosen because they blend beautifully with both the Historic Rideau Lake home and the natural waterfront in Westport. The photo’s in this gallery show some of our procedures from the start of the project until completion. The lines within the paving stones were laid parallel to the lines of the tiles on the top of the deck and inside the home. This helped provide continuity between the inside of the home and the outdoor living space. The pavers were also laid in a modular pattern to tie in with the hand cut natural stone walls the customer had constructed previously.

The photo’s in this series allow you to see a Stonebridge Landscapes project while in progress. We pride ourselves on our safe clean work areas which allow us to be as efficient as possible when building. This professionalism also means that the homeowner is safe while the project is underway and is not disrupted in their day to day life.

Work included curving steps leading to the back yard. The finished layout incorporated the owner's existing natural stone retaining wall. Stonebridge also extended the existing sump pump outlet and completed minor excavation with granular backfill to remediate the owner's drainage issues in this area..

Carleton Place, Interlocking Steps, 2009

This project required a very high change in elevation over a short distance. Stonebridge achieved this goal by creating a small landing and alternating the front step direction. A Celtick Wall retaining wall was also installed along the side of the house, camouflaging the exposed foundation and providing a tidy flower bed.
