A Garden You Can Live In


Flagstone Patio
 

Leave a Space to Relax

Make sure you leave a spot to enjoy your garden. The Schroeders put in a perfect little patio by building a simple pergola off the side of their house.

Test Garden Tip: If you create a path that leads to your patio, use the same material for both surfaces. It'll help integrate your patio into the landscape, bridging the gap between indoors and out.
