Project Brief
Summary:
The Baines Project embodies the perfect balance between rustic charm and refined outdoor living. Designed as a space for connection and relaxation, this property merges timeless materials with modern comfort to create a one-of-a-kind backyard retreat. From the warmth of its outdoor fireplace and fire features, to its tranquil koi pond, Chilton masonry stonework, and expansive Thermal Blue Select and tumbled bluestone paver surfaces, every element was thoughtfully integrated to form an equally cohesive and inviting environment. Enhanced by cast lighting, home automation, and a custom rough sawn cedar pergola paired with an open-aired roof structure, the space feels both naturally grounded and technologically elevated in its core.
Scope and Key Features:
This project highlights Greenscape’s ability to merge craftsmanship, creativity, and functionality into a seamless design. The Baines Project includes:
Premium patio surfaces constructed with Thermal Blue Select bluestone pavers, tumbled bluestone accents, and clay paver detailing for layered visual depth.
Custom Chilton masonry stonework and outcropping features that anchor the landscape with natural structural presence.
A stunning outdoor stone fire pit and full outdoor fireplace, creating multiple warm gathering zones throughout the property.
A fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring bluestone countertops, AMG stainless appliances, and a built-in Memphis pellet smoker beneath a shaded entertaining area.
Chilton flagstone pathways that guide movement naturally throughout the landscape.
A tranquil koi pond that introduces movement, sound, and serenity to the environment.
A rustic-modern shed that blends traditional textures with contemporary functionality.
A rough sawn cedar pergola and open-aired roof structure that provide architectural warmth and comfortable shade.
Integrated cast lighting and full home automation controlling lighting, irrigation, entertainment, and temperature systems.
Outdoor heaters and a mounted outdoor television extending seasonal comfort and usability.
Professionally layered softscape design that softens the hardscape and enhances year-round curb appeal.
The Baines Project reflects Greenscape’s commitment to turning outdoor environments into spaces that encourage gathering, inspire relaxation, and celebrate craftsmanship at every level.
Duration:
Completed over the course of a year, The Baines Project accentuates Greenscape’s mastery of planning, precision installation, and attention to detail, ensuring a space that is not only beautiful today, but built to be enjoyed for years to come.

Concept & Design
When passion meets precision - a project built from the heart out.
Concept:
Because The Baines Project was envisioned and designed by Greenscape’s owner, Mike Baines, the process began with a deeply personal understanding of what makes an outdoor space truly exceptional. The goal was to create a fully integrated environment that embodied Greenscape’s philosophy: spaces that invite connection while balancing rustic authenticity with modern sophistication. Early planning focused on material hierarchy, entertainment flow, technology integration, and long-term performance, ensuring the outdoor kitchen, fireplace, pergola structures, and automation systems would function together as one cohesive outdoor living experience.
Design:
The design evolved organically from Mike’s expertise and creative intuition, blending practical performance with elevated craftsmanship. Thermal Blue Select and tumbled bluestone surfaces were paired with Chilton masonry stonework and outcropping features to establish natural texture and visual weight, while the outdoor kitchen was outfitted with bluestone countertops, AMG stainless appliances, and a Memphis pellet smoker. Cast lighting, outdoor heaters, and full home automation were strategically integrated to control lighting, irrigation, entertainment, and temperature with ease. Anchored by the rough sawn cedar pergola and open-aired roof structure, the final layout delivers a cohesive outdoor environment that feels intentional, timeless, and distinctly Greenscape.
