Backyeard overhaul in Evanston, IL - new sod, pavers, lighting, grill, hot tub, etc.
A complete backyard transformation in Evanston, Illinois gave National Brick Paver & Stone the opportunity to take an outdated outdoor space and rebuild it from the ground up into a fully equipped modern outdoor living environment. This existing home had tremendous potential — the architecture was striking and contemporary — but the backyard did not match it. We changed that entirely.
The project started with full regrading of the backyard to establish correct drainage and create a level, usable outdoor space. Fresh sod was installed across all lawn areas, giving the property a finished and polished look that matched the quality of everything going into the hardscape.
For the patio surface, we installed Valders marble exterior stone — a natural stone with a distinctive, refined character that complemented the modern architecture of the home perfectly. The patio was designed to accommodate a hot tub pad, a grill island, and a full outdoor entertainment setup — all with enough space to function comfortably and look intentional.
Gas lines were run for both the fire pit and the grill island — stubbed and ready for built-in appliance connection, with the system sized correctly to run all outdoor gas features without affecting interior supply. A paver walkway was installed leading from the patio to the rear garage area, creating a seamless flow across the full backyard.
Landscape lighting was designed and installed throughout the property — illuminating walkways, plantings, and entertaining areas to make the space as usable and beautiful after dark as it is during the day.
This Evanston project is a perfect example of what a complete outdoor living overhaul looks like when every element is planned and executed by one team — grading, stone, gas, sod, lighting, and design all unified into a finished environment that works and looks exactly the way it should.
