The 100+ year old Main Line Wynnewood home now also features this large flagstone patio made with "blue-blue" Pa bluestone.
This backyard was given a complete makeover which included the large Pa bluestone flagstone patio which fits in perfectly on the Main Line and fresh plantings that will provide lush colors in all seasons
In it's second full year, you can see how quickly things fill in
A remodeling of the stone retaining walls at the rear of the patio was part of the efforts to convert this backyard. The large Pa bluestone patio using a "blue-blue" mix along with added sitting walls and a built-in grill using natural stone veneer that matches the 100 year old house completed this backyard makeover
The area of a future outdoor living space was a drainage challenge. As you can see the area's rain water pooled in the middle of the Wynnewood home's backyard which was not a favorable place to have a muddy mess. Fortunately at KM Gardens we take drainage of our patios seriously. Drains were added and the water was directed by the slope of the finished patio into those drains then carried to a place better suited to handle the excess water.
The native shrubs that replaced the overgrown laurels will only get 7-8 ft and stay thin so you can still see the house. This gives the area some height without overpowering. The perennials will eventually make a complete carpet and keep the weeds out.
