Archadeck of Columbus Delivers Year-Round Enjoyment with a 3-Season Room/Patio/Hardscape/Fire Pit Combination in Dublin, OH
Sometimes a tired, aging wooden deck just needs to be RE-tired, as in “retired,” as in replaced by a patio. That was the case for these Dublin, OH, homeowners who decided to go with a fresh, new paver patio and hardscape from Archadeck of Columbus instead of redecking or having a new deck installed. They also upgraded their screened porch by turning it into a 3-season room. Their instincts were good. Look how this stunning patio and 3-season room combination space has brought new life to their back yard!

Archadeck of West Central and Southwest Ohio Just off the covered porch is a curved paver patio which includes an integrated custom fire pit! The fire pit was designed with beauty and extended enjoyment in mind as instead of the dramatic “drop off edge” seen in many hardscapes, we used added two separate layers of pavers to define the edge and show off the patio’s curves. By combining a border course with a soldier course in separate patterns and complimentary colors the patio truly stands out! Photos by Archadeck of West Central & Southwest Ohio
Christine Wilkie Garden DesignThe owners of this long, narrow garden wanted to transform it into a sociable space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation with a boho chic style with lots of textural contrast. An existing run of steep steps and brick retaining walls was to be completely removed in favour of safer, statement steps and textured retaining walls. A new patio in large format porcelain tiles was designed to deliver an inside-out feel complementing the house's interior flooring. An old shed to the rear was removed and replaced with a large, modern garden room that does double duty as both a yoga studio and party/play room. To take advantage of the afternoon sun, a second small patio was created halfway down the garden. An eclectic mix of memorabilia and decorative accessories add a personal touch and provide pops of colour and visual interest throughout the garden.
The new main patio was designed to provide plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as a lounge space with a modern outdoor sofa dressed with comfy cushions and storm candle accessories. The relaxing sound of water is provided in the shape of a spherical rainbow sandstone water feature while a large egg chair, surrounded by an eclectic mix of planters, provides views across the whole garden. New terraced retaining walls are finished in a splitface slate cladding for textural interest while an L-shaped run of wide steps lead you down to the lawn area where a stepping stone path leads on to the next area of the garden.
A contemplation area, complete with lanterns and planters, is created at the halfway point with space for a pre-loved bench of sentimental value on which to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. The whole area is zoned with the addition of a bespoke western red cedar pergola giving a sense of enclosure and linking this area back to the cedar batten boundary treatment at the upper patio level. To the rear of the garden sits a new, modern garden room, complete with its own disco balls and a patio just large enough for a bistro table and chair set. The area is completed with timber sleeper raised beds and a set of steps leading up to the main lawn level. A combination of low-maintenance planting and retained mature shrubs, complete the garden scheme while garden lighting extends the garden's use well into the evening.
