Paver Patio & Fire Pit in Wautoma, WI

This paver patio in Wautoma, WI was designed and installed by Wisconsin Landscaping & Garden Center for a lakefront home set deep in the pines of Waushara County. The expansive patio wraps around the lower level of the home, creating a large outdoor living area with views of the lake through the surrounding trees. The patio surface uses rectangular concrete pavers with a contrasting red accent border that defines the edges and adds visual depth.

At the center of the patio sits a round segmental block fire pit, positioned to take advantage of the lake breeze and wooded sightlines. The fire pit area includes a curved inset detail in the paver pattern, creating a natural gathering zone for seating. Fieldstone seat walls built from local Wisconsin river stone flank the patio on both sides, matching the home's existing stone facade and providing built-in seating without cluttering the space.

The sloped, wooded lot required significant grade management. Timber retaining walls terrace the hillside behind the patio in three tiers, creating usable planting beds on what was previously an eroding slope. Natural limestone slab steps lead from the upper yard down to the patio level, connecting the terraced landscape to the main outdoor living area. River rock drainage beds along the patio perimeter manage water runoff from the hillside.
