About This Project

The Backyard Marina and Firepit Area in Sherrard, IL, transformed a previously unusable hillside into an inviting lakeside retreat. The clients sought a functional space that not only provided easy access to the lake but also served as a stylish area for entertaining family and friends while minimizing lawn maintenance. The design focuses on natural aesthetics, incorporating a beautiful flagstone patio and durable limestone walls that seamlessly blend with the surrounding landscape. To enhance accessibility, the shallow area of the lake was cored out, creating deeper water that allows for hassle-free docking of jet skis and small boats directly at the shore. This strategic excavation not only facilitates the enjoyment of water activities but also establishes a more versatile outdoor environment. The addition of ledge stone steps leading down to the water offers a safe and attractive passage, making it easy for guests to navigate the space. Craftsmanship played a vital role in the project, with skilled artisans ensuring that each stone was carefully selected and laid to provide both stability and visual appeal. The natural flagstone patio serves as a perfect gathering spot, ideal for summer evenings spent around the firepit, which is centrally located to maximize warmth and ambiance. The design encourages outdoor living and social interaction, making the most of the lakeside setting. As a result, the Backyard Marina and Firepit Area has become a cherished destination for relaxation and recreation. Clients can now enjoy a stunning view while engaging in various outdoor activities, all within a beautifully designed space that reduces maintenance demands. This project not only meets practical needs but also enhances the overall enjoyment of lakeside living, making it a perfect sanctuary for both leisure and entertainment.
