No. 56 Backyards · Mountain & Cabin
Flagstone Patio with Fire Pit and Bench
Beside a stone and heavy timber mountain home, this small backyard features a flagstone patio, a metal bowl fire pit, an L-shaped concrete and wood bench, and surrounding pines with native wildflowers.
Design notes
Mountain and cabin design lets the landscape lead. Look for heavy timber and log, stacked stone and boulders, steel and dark stains that recede against the trees, and decks and terraces that reach toward the view. Fire is central — a stone fireplace, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs — and hot tubs earn their place. Planting is pines, aspens, grasses and wildflowers; paving is flagstone and gravel that can take the snow.
What to look for
- How the space is zoned — dining, lounging, lawn, planting
- Sightlines from the back door to the furthest feature
- Layers of privacy: canopy, screening, structure
