Create a Summer Backyard Oasis with Stone & Stone Veneers
As spring weather in the Pacific Northwest heats up and turns to summer, the backyard is calling. Whether you want to entertain friends and neighbors or create a private oasis to enjoy on warm evenings, an authentic stone design can transform your backyard into a holiday resort.
There are many ways to incorporate stone and stone veneers into your outdoor oasis: consider an outdoor kitchen, built-in BBQ or grill island to impress your guests. Finish the night relaxing in front of an outdoor fire pit or custom stone fireplace with friends and family. When used for outdoor living, stone can be structural, providing privacy or creating separate entertainment areas, or it can serve an aesthetic purpose to create stunning fireplace features or to denote outdoor pathways.
Guided by your style and how you want to use your backyard, the weather of the Pacific Northwest is the perfect place to create an inviting outdoor oasis. Use various stones in an array of colours to reflect your taste and exceed your expectations for outdoor living.
At Pacific Art Stone, we recommend the following stones be used to create a backyard oasis:
Storm Fieldstone
This natural stone offers rustic, natural elegance, perfect for an evening cooking for and entertaining friends at your outdoor kitchen. Storm Fieldstone from the Westlakes Stone Collection can be set in cement with a variety of stone sizes to create texture and dimension across a continuous surface. A natural stone, Fieldstone is easy to clean and will stand the test of time both in colour and durability.

Catawaba Dry Stack is a manufactured stone from the ProVia Stone Collection, and offers warm earthy tones for a timeless finish. Each mold is handcrafted to stack easily, capturing the detail and depth of natural stone. The veneer profile offers a seamless and natural indoor/outdoor feel throughout, perfect for any space.
