In our latest project in Oak Lawn, IL, we transformed an underutilized backyard into an inviting patio space that seamlessly blends functionality and appeal. The initial layout was a patchy grass area with an unused fire pit, calling for a complete makeover. Our client wanted a durable and stylish outdoor area where they could entertain guests or simply relax with family, so we proposed a patio that would not only elevate the space but also add value to their property.
The project began with the clearing of the existing lawn and excavation of the designated area for the patio. Ensuring a solid foundation was crucial, so we carefully laid down a gravel base which was leveled and compacted to provide the necessary stability for the pavers. We opted for high-quality, weather-resistant pavers that combine contemporary design with long-lasting durability, ensuring they stand the test of time through Illinois’ challenging seasons.
One of the unique aspects of this project was the need to integrate the new patio with the existing elements like the house and garage, maintaining a cohesive look. The curvature of the patio edges provides a gentle transition from structured architecture to garden landscaping. Attention to detail was paramount, especially around the thresholds where we made precise cuts to ensure a snug fit against the home’s entrance.
With this new patio, the back yard has been revitalized into a stylish and purposeful outdoor area, allowing the residents of Oak Lawn to fully utilize the space with ease and enjoyment. We're thrilled with how our practical touch has redefined the ambiance, giving the property a fresh, modern feel without overwhelming the original charm of the house.
