At Sanstone Creations, we believe that every yard has the potential to become a personal oasis. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a project in Brielle, New Jersey, that turned a steep, challenging landscape into a stunning outdoor living space. This project involved the installation of a custom paver pool patio, elegant coping, retaining walls, and a staircase to create seamless access to the backyard. Here’s a closer look at how we transformed this space and what made it so special.
The Challenge
Our client in Brielle came to us with a unique challenge, an extremely steep incline in their backyard that made access to the yard difficult. Not only did they want to build a poolside retreat, but they also wanted to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing design that would make the most of the sloped terrain.
A pool and patio were a must, but without addressing the steep incline, the space would have been difficult to navigate, especially for those wanting to enjoy the pool and entertain guests.
The Solution
1. Custom Paver Pool Patio and Coping
We started by designing and installing a luxurious paver pool patio, the heart of the backyard transformation. Pavers are not only durable and long-lasting, but they also offer endless design possibilities. For this project, we selected pavers that complemented the natural surroundings and created a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere.
To tie the design together, we also installed custom pool coping that added a sleek and polished finish to the pool’s edge. The coping was carefully chosen for both its functionality (to withstand pool water and chemicals) and its aesthetic appeal.
2. Retaining Walls for Stability and Style
Given the steep incline of the backyard, retaining walls were essential for stabilizing the landscape and making the space usable. We built strong, visually pleasing retaining walls around the perimeter of the yard to prevent erosion and create flat, usable spaces for the patio, pool, and garden areas.
The retaining walls not only provided functional benefits but also added a layer of beauty to the design. We used materials that blended with the surroundings, creating a natural look while also ensuring structural integrity.
3. Stairs for Easy Access
The last major element of the project was the installation of a staircase to provide easy access to the backyard. Without proper stairs, the steep incline would have made it difficult for the homeowners to enter and exit the yard, particularly when they wanted to enjoy the new pool area.
We carefully designed the staircase to flow with the rest of the landscape. Using durable, slip-resistant materials and a cohesive design, the stairs became both a functional necessity and an attractive addition to the property.
The Result
The finished project transformed a difficult, sloped yard into an elegant, functional, and beautiful space for the homeowners to enjoy. The paver pool patio now serves as the perfect place for entertaining, with plenty of room for loungers and outdoor dining. The custom pool coping ties the space together, and the retaining walls provide both visual interest and structural support.
With the addition of the staircase, the clients now have easy access to their backyard paradise, making the entire space more enjoyable and practical.
