Nestled in a Halton hamlet, this property is home to a family that grew up in the Muskokas, and wanted this urban backyard to remind them of the outdoors amidst the granite, evergreens and dark blue water. The granite surround on this pool is an intricate inlay of large irregular granite flagstone, stitched with seamless tight joints, and a polished edge facing the pool. The rest of the patio is a modern porcelain tile set on pedestals. Plantings were to a Muskoka theme, and the lighting gives the space a nice moon glow in the evenings. Decking and Pergola are all PVC to ensure longevity.
