Stone Fire Pit Beside Tudor Residence

Surrounded by brick pathways at night, a circular fire pit sits before a Tudor residence displaying half-timbered siding, steep gables, leaded glass windows, and overhead string lights with landscape lighting.

Design notes

Tudor design answers the house. Look for half-timbered gables and tall chimneys echoed in dark timber pergolas and arbours, herringbone brick and flagstone terraces, low stone walls, and hedges of yew and box that give the garden formal rooms near the house before it loosens into roses, wisteria and lawn. Leaded glass, copper lanterns and a slightly storybook proportion keep the look coherent.

  • Sightlines from the back door to the furthest feature
  • Layers of privacy: canopy, screening, structure
