From Grass and Mud to a Year-Round Outdoor Living Space
Vision: This family wanted their backyard to become the ultimate gathering spot—a place where they could grill, relax, and watch football together outdoors. Their dream was a year-round space that combined comfort and functionality, starting from what was once just grass and mud.
Location: Ashland, VA
Design Features and Materials
We installed a Custom Paver Patio as the foundation of the design, featuring a fireplace for warmth and ambiance. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen made it easy to cook and entertain, while a Custom Vinyl Pavillion provided shade and style. To tie the project together, we also created a front yard walkway that enhanced curb appeal and provided a welcoming entrance.
Unique Aspects of Planning and Construction
The challenge was transforming an underutilized yard into a multifunctional living area. By combining multiple custom builds—patio, pergola, kitchen, and fireplace—we created a space where the family could enjoy everything from game days to quiet evenings outdoors.
Conclusion:
This once empty yard is now a fully realized outdoor living space, designed for relaxation, entertainment, and everyday family enjoyment—no matter the season.

“Wes, Zack and the rest of the team were easy to work with and communicated throughout the whole process. The new patio, steps, and fireplace look great. I would highly recomend them.”

“Wes was great to work with and Eve actually was the one to design our driveway, walkway and patio. She did a marvelous job. I would highly recommend anyone looking to install pavers to check with Cleanstone. You will be very happy with the quality of work!”
