At UPL, we had the pleasure of working on a property in Elkhorn, NE, to transform it into an outdoor oasis. We installed a stunning patio using Urbana, Holland, and Mega Arbel pavers, creating a versatile space for relaxation and entertainment. To enhance this area further, we added a fire pit crafted from Rochester Lakeland Standard Onyx, providing warmth and ambiance during cool evenings. Additionally, we constructed a two-tier retaining wall along the driveway using Highland Stone, adding both functionality and visual appeal.

We didn't stop there—we also installed landscape beds around the property and raised garden beds at the top of the retaining walls. These additions brought vibrant greenery and colorful blooms to the surroundings. The plants we carefully selected included Sem False Spirea, Gro-Low Sumac, Green Velvet Boxwood, Minor Vinda, Japanese Spurge Pachysandra, Bridal Veil and Vision Red Astillbe, and Baja Burgundy Coneflower. With these enhancements, our team created a harmonious blend of outdoor living features and lush landscaping, turning this property into a picturesque retreat that can be enjoyed year-round.

We installed a beautiful new patio and fire pit in the backyard.

A standout feature of this project was the installation of a brand-new patio in the backyard. For this task, we used high-quality materials like Urbana, Holland, and Mega Arbel pavers. These durable and visually appealing pavers were meticulously arranged to create a spacious and inviting outdoor living area. This patio became the perfect spot for entertaining guests or simply relaxing with family.

To add even more charm and functionality to the patio, we incorporated a fire pit. Crafted from Rochester Lakeland Standard Onyx, this fire pit not only provided warmth but also served as a focal point for gatherings. It offered a cozy ambiance for evening get-togethers, making the backyard a hub of activity and enjoyment.

The two-tier retaining wall along the driveway is functional and adds visual interest.

Along the driveway, we undertook the construction of a two-tier retaining wall. This ambitious project required precision and expertise, and we chose to use Highland Stone for its durability and aesthetic appeal.

This retaining wall not only served a practical purpose by preventing soil erosion and stabilizing the terrain but also added a touch of elegance to the property. Its design seamlessly blended with the overall landscape, enhancing the curb appeal of the home.

Retaining walls are often built to prevent soil erosion, which can wreak havoc on your landscape.

Landscape beds and raised garden beds enhanced the beauty of this property.

To complete the transformation of this property, we focused on enhancing its natural beauty through strategic landscaping. We installed landscape beds throughout the property, carefully selecting plants that would thrive in the local climate and complement the existing surroundings.

In addition to traditional landscape beds, we introduced raised garden beds at the top of the retaining walls, as well as other areas on the property. These elevated gardens added depth and dimension to the landscape while offering a unique opportunity for homeowners to cultivate their favorite flowers and plants.

The plant selection was diverse and thoughtfully curated. Some of the notable choices included:

  • Sem False Spirea
  • Gro-Low Sumac
  • Green Velvet Boxwood
  • Vinca Minor
  • Japanese Spurge
  • Bridal Veil and Vision Red Astilbe
  • Baja Burgundy Coneflower
