Featured Project - Ford Patio & Softscape |
|
The Ford project was a combination of many of the Burkholder specialties! The Fords home sits on a great lot with a spectacular view from a large porch. The finished basement walked out to a small patio that was sinking and holding water. There was also a runoff problem that would leave mud on the patio after heavy rains. During our consultation we discussed the Ford families vision of a large patio that could be accessed by friends entering the house from the front walkway and from the walk-out basement door. The Fords expressed interest in a fire pit to create a destination for their high school aged children and their friends to gather.    After our design team finished and all materials were secured our production team got to work! The Fords decided on thermal cut, irregular west mountain flagstone for the 600 SF patio, west mountain fieldstone was used for the seating walls and firepit to compliment the patio stones. 30 tons of matching boulders and slap steppers were placed to provide access form the main front walkway while creating an intimate seating area featuring a boulder bench. The final product is a stunning combination of plants and stones that is a great family hangout! A quote from Rob Ford:
