Installer Insights: All-Season Lakeside Patio in Calgary, Alberta
At the heart of Auburn Bay, Alberta, Calgary, Jenron Creative Landscapes transformed a lakefront property into a functional, family-friendly retreat using Dimensional Flagstone pavers from local Rosetta Hardscapes producer Barkman. The goal? Preserve the natural beauty of the setting while creating a durable, non-slip surface for all seasons. With design versatility and real-stone texture, Dimensional Flagstone delivered a timeless look that fits seamlessly into its surroundings.
Designed for Beauty, Built for Everyday Life
For Jenron Creative Landscapes, function and aesthetics go hand in hand. “We wanted to keep a very natural feel,” explained Jenron’s president, Steve Kletke. “Something that looked like real stone, but that could stand up to year-round use.”
The Dimensional Flagstone’s wet cast pavers offered the perfect balance:
- Natural stone texture and color that complement modern lakefront architecture
- Slip-resistant surface ideal for wet, icy, or high-traffic areas
- Low-maintenance durability that keeps outdoor spaces looking great season after season
From summer gatherings to winter skating, this surface was built for living.
“We also use the lake in the winter for skating. So we have kids running down here when it's snowing, or when it's icy, or whatever, too. So it's got some great grit to it, amazing color to it, all added to that it helps the snow to melt in the winter, as well.”

A Trusted Partnership, 20 Years Strong
Jenron Creative Landscapes has been building Calgary’s most beautiful outdoor spaces for over two decades, and Barkman has been part of that journey almost from the start. “We got on them (Rosetta solutions) quick,” Steve says. “We knew it was a great product, and our customers have loved it too.”
Rosetta products have become a staple in Jenron’s portfolio, offering the natural style homeowners want and the construction efficiency contractors need. From Outcropping Walls to Dimensional Flagstone patios, the Rosetta line allows installers to design creatively without compromising structural integrity or durability.
Why Dimensional Flagstone Stands Out
The Rosetta Dimensional Flagstone system is engineered for both design and performance. Its wet cast manufacturing process captures the character of real stone while maintaining tight tolerances for efficient installation guided by Rosetta’s library of technical resources. The result is a surface that’s both rugged and refined, ideal for residential patios, walkways, and high-traffic outdoor living spaces.
Dimensional Flagstone delivers:
- Realistic stone texture for upscale outdoor design
- Modular sizes for flexible layout options
- Consistent measurements for straightforward installation
- Proven slip resistance for year-round usability
