Situated on Turtle Lake in Shoreview, this lakefront landscape design features a picturesque firepit, fresh rip rap, a new patio, and an elegant softscape design. While nature graced the home with a breathtaking view, the original landscaping paled in comparison. The problem? The modest patio extension off the back of the home didn’t lure the homeowners outdoors. Their dream was clear: an enjoyable place for gatherings with friends and family to savor Minnesota’s vibrant lake life.
The bluestone patio is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenic views.
The client's top priority for their lakefront landscape design was a patio and wood-burning fire pit close to the shoreline. The objective was to integrate the fire pit area seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment. Seasonal planters, designed by Southview Design's maintenance team, add the perfect pop of color.
Rip rap was installed along the beachfront to prevent erosion and protect the natural habitat.
Rip rap was installed along the shoreline to protect it. The large rocks and stones safeguard the shoreline from the forces of nature while maintaining the ecological balance of the surrounding environment. Rip rap also contributes to the natural beauty of the waterfront area, providing a harmonious blend of function and aesthetics.
Fond du Lac steps provide a pathway from the shoreline to the upper patio.
For continuity, Lilac Bluestone flows around the fire pit and up the stairs to the dining patio.
The steep slope presented a design challenge, but the designer worked with it to enhance the overall space. The natural elevation is a divider between the two outdoor spaces, allowing the homeowners to enjoy two unique areas within their property. Up top is a spacious dining and grilling area. Down below is an intimate wood-burning fire pit for casual lakeside hangouts.
For the walkway, the clients opted for County "Discover" pavers in shade "Timeless".
An under-deck ceiling keeps the dining patio dry and comfortable.
The upper patio is ideal for grilling, lounging, or simply taking a moment to appreciate the view. Laurel Sandstone tile is a distinctive separator, defining the dining patio from the other areas. Furthermore, an under-the-deck ceiling system provides essential protection from the elements.
Before construction, the clients lacked a functional, enjoyable space to appreciate their beautiful view. Their outdoor living space has gained purpose, and the homeowners savor their time outdoors.
Plan now so when temperatures consistently hit 50°F, we are ready to plant. Spring planting lets your plants establish, beating the summer heat.
Now is the optimal time for grading and foundation work, setting the stage for the remainder of your project.
Don’t miss a single day of summer—start your project early so you can cherish every moment.
Your perfect outdoor living space begins with a simple conversation. Let’s talk about your outdoor living space!
