Hamptons-Style Retreat in Baltimore County: A Case Study

When a Baltimore County couple approached us about building them a Hamptons-style retreat in their expansive backyard, we jumped at the chance. With a blank slate to work with, we were able to give them the elegant inground pool, patio, and gardens they wanted.

Simple yet elegant, with clean, simple lines, to suit their tastes and empty-nester lifestyle. The material of choice for the pool coping, patio, and walkways, was Bluestone – a fine-grained sandstone from Pennsylvania and New York that can range from light blue to grey to brown. Check out the additional photos for a more detailed look.

This custom rectangular plaster pool is perfect for swimming laps or taking a dip on a hot afternoon. The client chose a wide, full-color Bluestone coping and Ocean Blue pebble sheen interior pool finish from PebbleTec.

Large Bluestone slabs form the terraced steps leading up the slope from the patio to the pool. Look at that view!

The clean lines and natural look provided by large-scale Bluestone slabs provide an elegant patio area. The retaining wall caps are also bluestone slabs suitable for additional built-in seating or to place decorative plant pots.

The client chose Bluestone to create a cohesive look throughout their property. The walkway from the driveway to the front entrance is another example of the versatility of this natural stone.

At the front of the house, the walkway widens to be on scale with the wide staircase leading to the front entry. Bluestone slabs top the stairs and give the front landing an elegant look. Evergreen shrubs and trees lend a formal look to complement the style of the home.
