A Patio Fire Pit

Flagstone Patio IdeasThis gorgeous fire pit and seat wall patio is constructed with flagstone. Adding a fire pit to a patio is one of the best ways to get people to gather around and enjoy conversation. Typically used in cooler weather, a fire pit can be used during those long, summer nights to get kids gathered around and make s’mores. A summer just wouldn’t be a summer without those sticky treats! Plus, once winter starts to kick in, you’d have a cozy fire pit to sip hot chocolate around. You just can’t lose with this gorgeous flagstone fire pit!

Unique Design

This gorgeous outdoor patio design features regular Pennsylvania flagstone with a one foot flagstone border. It also features diamond shaped inlays of river gravel to give it a one of a kind look. Square landings open up to a circle shaped patio that is completed by a seat wall around the far side. Nightlighting adds a special tough for nice evenings outside.

Bold and Brash

Strong lines and shapes combine for this simple but bold patio. Designed to be able to be used for either entertaining or a intimate dinner, his patio succeeds for both. The exclamation point for this patio is a rectangle fire feature that illuminates the space and provides warmth on cool evenings.

 

Chill Out

The mission of this patio design was to create a simple place to simply chill out. Mission accomplished. The patio is built from irregular Tennessee flagstone which has a more tan color vs. its gray cousin Pennsylvania flagstone. Set down in a low are of the garden and surrounded by stunning plantings, this is a place to get your Key West mojo moving.

Tucked Away

Flagstone Patio IdeasSometimes simply having a place that is private, hidden away and surrounded by nature provides the ultimate relaxation. Who says a patio needs to be adjacent to a house or pool. A patio located in a grove of trees or a beautiful garden can feel like a secluded vacation spot. Nothing fancy needed.
