BLUE STONE TERRACES, PATIOS, AND PATHS

This is at the back of our own house. Our terrace is natural cleft blue stone in earth tones. The base of the house is clad in 21/2" thick granite slabs, 12" x 18", but the retaining wall of the terrace is field stone from the old basement, giving it an informal appearance. Granite steps lead down from the terrace to a lower terrace and on down the bluestone path of the arbor. At either side, the bluestone pavers give way to cobbled stoned areas. One side leads down field stone steps to a wide granite cobbled "tractor path" with the occasional field stone let into it for a little whimsy. The flower beds are edged with bluestone curbing, narrow pieces of varying lengths, with only the top natural cleft, two sides sawn. We have no tumbled bluestone pavers at our house, but they are outside the school house front door, and there's a panel in the showroom. All of this material is available at Harbor Farm
