Tiered Patio with Spa and Fire Pit

This homeowner wanted a patio to connect to their existing deck. Some of the features they were looking to add included a spa, a built-in-bench, and a fire pit. To create a smooth transition from the rigid deck to the more organic patio space, we placed irregular stone steppers in mulch and natural slab steps leading down the hill to the patio. The retaining wall against the deck served as a nook for the built-in-bench, and also retained the spa area. Transitioning down the fire pit, we placed more natural stone slab steps to create a sense of entry into the rustic area for circling around the fire. The end result is a tiered patio that serves many functions.
