This backyard in Grant had little going for it until Villa Landscapes took over.

A steep set of wooden stairs led from a three-season porch down to a nondescript exposed-aggregate patio underneath. River rock edged the patio and back of the house, and a flat strip of green lawn extended to the woods.

Villa Landscapes Designer Andy Lofboom replaced the concrete patio with a Willow Creek Cobblestone paver patio that sweeps away from the house in graceful curves and transforms to twin interlocking Willow Creek Circlestone patios. A VERSA-LOK seat wall rings the perimeter of one Circlestone patio, which features a raised VERSA-LOK firepit in the center. Short columns cap each end of the seat wall and sport a carriage light on top. A double soldier course of pavers edges the patio in two colors. Large stepping stones provide access to the patio from either side.

A stylish spiral staircase replaced the wooden stairs and freed up more space on the patio for a hot tub. Support posts for the porch were wrapped in stone veneer that complements the pavers.

Villa Landscape Designer Andy Lofboom transformed this backyard from a tired wooden deck and stairs with run-down gardens to a stunning series of VERSA-LOK tiered walls, lighted stairs and elevated patio featuring Willow Creek pavers, a Harmony Stone fireplace, and outdoor kitchen.

The VERSA-LOK Standard walls are in the newest color, Bronze Blend, with a Weathered texture. The Willow Creek pavers are in Harvest Blend with a Weathered texture. You can see the transformation in the series of before-and-after pictures below.
