A stamped courtyard with a seat wall
A bare yard behind a new house, turned into a courtyard: a slate-pattern slab in two greys, a curved limestone seat wall and a pad for the fire pit.

The owners wanted somewhere to sit in the evenings that didn’t look like a parking lot. We laid the shape out on the ground with hoses, moved it twice, and settled on a circle that meets the porch and runs round a fire pit.
The slab was poured in one go with the colour mixed in, released in a darker grey and stamped in a slate pattern. The seat wall is limestone from the quarry up the road, laid on its own footing with a cap wide enough to sit on.
