A sizable rustic fieldstone patio was created around a native grove of aspen. There is actually 2 patio space here divided from the grove. Large stone piers create some architectural interest but also have a hammock anchored to them. The dappled light provided by the Aspen trees makes for a pleasant cool place to lounge about during the mid summer season. Large dwarf unusual conifers, hydrangea and perennials soften the stone work. Marc D. Depoto (Hillside Nurseries Inc.)
