Creating an inviting outdoor space is a priority for many Mercer Island homeowners, especially when working from home provides more opportunities to enjoy it. A recent homeowner reached out to us with a project that combines functionality and beauty:

“I’m interested in building a raised patio with flagstone pavers (approximately 375 sq ft) and installing concrete footings for a pergola. I may need a dry well for drainage and possible regrading work for the non-patio section of the yard. I work from home due to COVID, so I’m available to meet for an estimate most days.”

Comprehensive Solutions for Your Outdoor Space

This type of project involves several steps, and Lee’s General Landscaping is equipped to handle every aspect with precision and care.

1. Raised Flagstone Patio

A 375 sq ft flagstone patio is a timeless choice that combines natural beauty with durability. For Mercer Island’s unique conditions, we recommend:

  • Weather-Resistant Stone: Selecting flagstones that hold up to rainy winters and mild summers.
  • Proper Base Installation: Ensuring a stable foundation to prevent shifting or sinking.
  • Seamless Integration: Designing the patio to complement existing yard features.

2. Pergola with Concrete Footings

Adding a pergola enhances the patio’s usability and aesthetics. Concrete footings provide a solid foundation, ensuring your pergola remains stable even in windy weather.

3. Dry Well Installation

Mercer Island’s rainfall may require a drainage solution to prevent pooling water. A dry well helps manage runoff effectively, protecting both your yard and patio.

4. Regrading Work for Non-Patio Areas

Regrading ensures proper drainage and creates a visually cohesive outdoor space. Whether leveling uneven terrain or shaping the yard for better flow, our team ensures the results meet your needs.
