Irregular Bluestone Patio Installation. Lexington, MA.

This was a very unique, challenging and enjoyable project to work on. The goal was to create a large enough patio on which a hot tub now resides while using a natural uncut stone product. We were able to achieve this by using a broken bluestone product.

The irregular bluestone pieces range is size from 6" lengths to 4' lengths. The most challenging part of installing a patio with this type of stone is that each stone must be installed/leveled individually.

Another challenge was the drastic grade change of the location in which we were to build the bluestone patio.

The solution was to build a two tier landscape timber wall with a planting area contained between both walls.

Probably the most unique as well as challenging part to the project was how to get the material to the job site in the first place. The only access to the site was through the basement of the home or down a 15 step exterior staircase from first floor level. Not to mention that the first floor level is also down a 15 step exterior staircase from the driveway.

We created a small path/equipment trail that began from up at street level and meandered its way down through the woods to the projects location. From start to finish, the project took around 3 weeks to complete and all were very happy with the outcome.
