Brooksbank
The homeowner’s family owns a ranch in Wisconsin with large stones of various types and colors. Many stones were trucked in from the ranch to be naturally incorporated into the design. The homeowner also requested a large patio cover and outdoor kitchen space.
Home on the Ranch
Stones from the family ranch comprise the elevated hill and rock feature in the style of a brook. Elevated wall features and fire bowls contribute to the upgraded character of the design. The ranch rock is also incorporated into the spillway on the spa. Unique bar stools offer seating on the inside and outside of the spa with a shared marble top for entertaining. The outdoor kitchen is situated near the home for easy access, and the patio cover extending over the spa provides shelter and bridges the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Landscape Oasis
Low planters provide a low maintenance pop of color and break up the lines of the yard. Dogwoods add fragrant blossoms to the landscape, and the flagstone ribbon provides a contrast to the patio.
Materials
Enhancing the natural scene are materials of Oklahoma Wister flagstone, light tan stamped concrete, ample ranch rock spread throughout the project, gray/brown 2” x 2” waterline tile, and medium gray/blue pebble interior.
