When a Glenview, Illinois homeowner wanted to transform their backyard into a complete outdoor living environment, National Brick Paver & Stone designed and built a space that delivers on every level — beautiful materials, permanent construction, and a design that flows naturally from the home into the landscape.
The patio surface was installed using Unilock Richcliff in Dawn Mist — a refined, large-format concrete paver with a smooth, contemporary finish that pairs beautifully with natural stone elements. Dawn Mist delivers a warm, neutral tone that works seamlessly with the natural Eden stone wall and bluestone features throughout the project. Unilock Richcliff is engineered for Illinois freeze-thaw conditions, maintaining its color and structural integrity through decades of Midwest winters.
The natural stone gas fire pit was built with a fire brick interior and bluestone tops — custom cut and set in mortar for permanence. A natural Eden stone cook island was designed and built as a permanent outdoor kitchen structure, finished with granite countertops and connected to a dedicated gas line for built-in grille and cooking appliances. The cook island and fire pit were positioned to create a natural flow through the outdoor space — functional, intentional, and designed to be used.
Full grading and sod installation were completed across the property, establishing correct drainage away from the home and delivering a finished lawn from day one. Landscape lighting was designed and installed throughout — illuminating the patio, fire pit, cook island, and plantings to extend the beauty and usability of the space well into the evening.
Every element of this Glenview project — patio, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, lighting, grading, and sod — was handled by one team with one unified design vision. This is how outdoor living spaces should be built.
