Straight lines and right angles define this front-yard patio in Lakeland Shores, MN. The patio is the perfect size for a couch, table and two chairs. A short walkway connects the patio to a paver-covered stoop outside the home's front door, and a seat wall provides additional informal seating. A sharp double border frames the entire space.
"The design fits the space and the homeowner's taste," said Villa Landscapes landscape designer Kelly O'Donahue. "It's a classic contemporary look."
