Terraced Brick Paver Patio In Chester County, PASeven feet above grade, this free-form, terraced patio sits nested in the treetops surrounding this new construction home in Chester County, adding privacy as well as a unique vantage point for patio diners. The patio offers this homeowner a more permanent and formal setting, which lends itself nicely to the home's front exterior, also designed by Cornerstone.
