Thoughtful landscape design can seamlessly extend a home’s architectural character into the outdoor environment that surrounds it. A custom-built backyard retreat provides a peaceful place for you to relax and enjoy your private landscape, whether on your own or surrounded by friends and family.
Ground One is an award-winning landscape design and build company in the Twin Cities area. Recently, we completed a mid-century modern patio project for a client that is a perfect example of how a personalized backyard retreat can improve your outdoor living experience.
Bringing Mid-Century Modern Design to Your Landscape
Ground One’s clients, the owners of a 1950s rambler in the greater Twin Cities area, were committed to preserving the original architectural details of their home as they remodeled their landscape. Our landscape design and build team embraced their vision by incorporating elements that reflect the era’s distinctive style into a mid-century modern patio area.
Some key elements of this mid-century modern patio design project, which can be introduced to your landscape, are:
- Retro Concrete Screen Block Walls – These unique concrete retaining walls wrap around the patio, providing privacy with a design that is evocative of classic mid-century patterns. Concrete retaining walls can be poured in many different shapes and patterns, allowing for complete personalization of your own backyard retreat.
- Modular Concrete Paver Patio – The paver patio features clean lines and a geometric layout interspersed with square patches of lawn, creating a uniquely stylish outdoor sitting area. Consider how you might cleverly utilize concrete pavers like this to bring artistic flair to your custom patio area.
- Cedar Stoops – The natural cedar wood used to build the stoops leading from the home down to the patio add pleasing warmth and contrast the pavers. A combination of wood and stone materials such as this could be a great way to maximize the curb appeal of your own mid-century modern patio area.
- Integral Brick Planter & Seat Wall – This modern outdoor planter is a dual-purpose feature offers both a garden in which annuals and perennials can be planted, and additional outdoor seating. Functional designs like this are a great way to create a backyard retreat that serves many different needs.
- Modern Outdoor Patio Lights – Accent lights placed in the brick planter help the plants to show up well at night and cast a lovely warm glow over the backyard retreat. High-end outdoor lighting such as this is an excellent choice for your custom patio area that allows the outdoor space to be safely used at night.
