Adding Stone to Your New Outdoor Living Design

Here in the Charlotte area, many communities offer wooded or partially-wooded back yards with mature trees and even lake frontage. Natural landscapes lend themselves beautifully to stone outdoor living design elements. Whether you live near Uptown, or in one of our many Charlotte suburbs, the beauty of the stone outdoor living design is a popular request.

Stone outdoor living elements offer visual interest by way of color and texture. Stone can create inviting focal points with outdoor fireplaces and fire pits or take on a dramatic aesthetic with a complete patio design. What are some of the ways Archadeck of Charlotte can add stone to your new outdoor living design? Take a look!

Travertine patio with outdoor bar

This lovely, partially-covered travertine patio is perfect for entertaining, complete with an outdoor bar. Travertine is one of our most beloved patio materials. It offers a clean design aesthetic and the benefits of natural weather resistance. The saturated colors of the stacked stone bar façade are the perfect complement to the smooth travertine patio and clean design of the white pergola. Another great way to add stone to your outdoor living design is with your outdoor bar top, or even the work surface of your outdoor kitchen!

This Ipe wood deck would have been beautiful and useful on its own, but by adding a custom stone fire pit and accompanying stone seating wall, Archadeck of Charlotte transformed this Charlotte deck into so much more.
