Backyard Oasis McLean VA with Tundra Grey Marble and Black Basalt

At the center of the design is the expansive Tundra Grey Marble sandblasted pool deck, selected for its elegant grey tonal movement, consistent natural patterning, and high-performance outdoor characteristics. The sandblasted finish provides reliable slip resistance around wet pool areas while maintaining the refined natural stone appearance that defines the overall aesthetic of the project.

Stone Materials & Architectural Details

Multiple natural stone materials were carefully coordinated to create contrast, durability, and architectural depth:

Tundra Grey Marble (Sandblasted Finish)

• Used as the primary pool deck and main patio surface
• Selected for its dense structure, long-term durability, and elegant contemporary grey palette
• Provides a refined yet practical slip-resistant walking surface ideal for high-traffic outdoor entertainment spaces

Black Basalt Copings, Caps, and Architectural Elements

• Installed as 12", 14", and 16" pool copings and wall caps, as well as 24x24 and 32x32 column caps throughout the pavilion and landscape walls
• The deep charcoal tone creates strong visual framing around the pool, steps, raised walls, and architectural columns
• Basalt’s strength and low water absorption make it ideal for exposed coping and cap applications where durability is critical

Afyon White Marble – Sandblasted French Pattern

• Installed in select patio and transition areas to create visual variation and natural stone contrast
• The light marble tones brighten seating zones and complement both the grey marble deck and darker basalt accents
• The French pattern layout adds traditional European design character while maintaining a cohesive luxury finish

Outdoor Living Features

The renovation integrates multiple entertainment zones designed to function seamlessly together:

• Custom pavilion with stone fireplace and exposed timber structure
• Outdoor kitchen with full grilling, serving, and bar seating areas
• Firepit lounge positioned for poolside gathering
• Elevated deck enclosure and multi-level seating terraces
• Custom landscape lighting highlighting steps, walls, architectural columns, and water features
• Boulder-style pool slide and waterfall elements creating a resort-style focal point

Together, the combination of Tundra Grey Marble decking, Black Basalt architectural accents, and Afyon White Marble detailing delivers a cohesive natural stone outdoor environment that balances durability, visual contrast, and timeless luxury — transforming the property into a fully integrated resort-style backyard living space.
