Little Cate's Patio

This project started and ended with a bang.
The original focus was to just clean and seal the existing patio ... the end result, well, just look at the final pictures. I will not go into full details but let's just say that it included some tricky materials, some wonderful (and understanding) clients and a company willing to stand behind it's finished product to complete the project with a result that exceeded not only our clients, but my own, expectations.

Here is a before shot.
Some of the highlights include natural bluestone steps, holland ashlar pattern patio and of course the firepit and seat wall. The material consisted of Paveloc's Creta seat wall to give a natural look to blend better with the thermal bluestone cap stones. The firepit was lined in firebrick and refractory mortar to provide a safe burning structure that will last for years to come. Also please note the solid brass accent lighting added to the seat wall and surrounding patio which allows a busy family to enjoy their outdoor escape regardless of the time of night.


Here are some of the after shots.

As for the name of this posting, let's just say little Cate was just a small bump in a belly when the original planning for the project was started and we had it completed with only two days to spare.

Good luck to Cate and her family, I know they will enjoy their new outdoor living space for years to come!
Here some additional images.
