Masonry patios are the current trend in backyard designs for homeowners in Southeastern Massachusetts. This coastal area is home to variable weather patterns and a growing number of clients who desire low-maintenance but stylish landscaping. Here are the top masonry patio trends that will get you all fired up to redesign your backyard come 2025.
Natural Stone & Bluestone Pavers (timeless & coastal-chic)
This design complements the coastal aesthetic of New England through organic textures. It is naturally slip-resistant, ideal for humid summers, and withstands freeze-thaw cycles (ideal for MA winters). Natural stone design ideas include lumpy flagstone patterns for rustic looks and bluestone with crushed shell borders (Cape Cod vibe).
Permeable Pavers (Eco-Friendly & Storm Resilient):
Permeable pavers can help homeowners cope with the heavy rainfall in Southeastern MA and prevent pooling. This design is perfect for pool surrounds and sloping yards.
Outdoor Fire Pits & Masonry Fireplaces
Massachusetts homeowners prefer masonry fireplaces because they can help extend the usability of their patio, create a cozy gathering area in the fall and winter, and add to the property’s value. Homeowners add extra features like built-in seating walls for a seamless look for their low-maintenance, gas-powered fire tables or stone-clad, wood-burning fire pits.
Textured Mixed Material Patios (Visual Interest)
This trend includes mixing brick, stone, and concrete for contrast, laser-cut patterns in pavers (geometric and modern), and exposed aggregate finishes that are slip-resistant. This is best suited for small patios, as it adds dimension and transitional spaces.
Dark and Moody Color Palettes (Modern Contrast)
2025 brings a significant shift in the color paradigm as homeowners now prefer bolder masonry colors to beige ones. Some preferred colors include charcoal gray pavers (stain-hiding), midnight blue slate accents (coastal elegance), and burnt terracotta tones (for that warmer Mediterranean feel). Bold masonry colors complement white outdoor furniture and lush green landscaping.
The Emerging Technologically Progressive Patios
2025 is home to luxurious patios. Homeowners are exploring technologically progressive patios with features like heated pavers that melt snow on their own, LED-lit stepping stones that provide an evening ambiance and safety, and a hidden drainage system.
