Winnetka Red Brick Paver Patio and Outdoor Room

Arranged on an expanse of red brick pavers, this outdoor dining area feels cozy, as if it’s ensconced in its own outdoor room. The herringbone pattern—reminiscent of a fine parquet dining room floor—is enclosed within rectangular bluestone slabs. This is an unexpected approach, as bluestone fields and red brick paver accents are used elsewhere on the patio.

A carefully trimmed boxwood hedge adds another layer of enclosure, creating an intimate space within the larger landscape.

All-green plantings, including boxwood shrubs, a low pachysandra border, and a bank of mature trees, showcase the texture and visual interest that can be achieved through varying shades of green.

Natural Stone Steps Connect Entertaining Areas in Winnetka

Bluestone steps, supported by fieldstone slabs, mirror the angles and proportions of the home’s architecture.

Elegant Winnetka Bluestone Patio and Pool Deck

Large bluestone patio pavers enhance the sophistication of the pool deck, complementing the tones of pool house and the in-ground pool itself. The natural stone is variegated in color and size, which keeps this family-friendly entertaining area from becoming too formal.

Bringing in a course of red brick pavers around the pool’s edge reprises the combination of stones used throughout the landscape. Bluestone patio slabs, red brick pavers and fieldstone are used in a variety of combinations and applications to keep the landscape fresh and interesting, while ensuring a consistent aesthetic throughout.

Evergreens surround the space, providing privacy and creating a resort-like setting, complete with comfortable furnishings and lounge chairs. The result is a lush backdrop for views from the home and various outdoor seating and entertaining areas within the bluestone patio.
