No. 52 Patios · Mountain & Cabin
Flagstone Patio with Timber Pergola
Outside this rustic mountain home, flagstone paving leads past natural boulders and wildflowers to a wooden dining table beneath a timber pergola, framed by stone walls and tall pines.
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
- The paving material and how its joints are handled
- Whether the furniture footprint fits with room to move
- Shade at 4 pm, not just at noon
