Belgard Partners with Queer Eye’s Tan France to Help Create His Salt Lake City Home

Several Belgard products are featured in the outdoor living spaces at the style star’s dreamy Utah residence.

Tan France, one of the stars of Netflix’s Queer Eye and well-known television personality and stylist, enlisted the help of Belgard®, the leader in outdoor living essentials, to bring the outdoor living spaces at his Utah home to life. Several Belgard hardscape products are featured in the home’s outdoor designs, which were highlighted in the Architectural Digest series, “Home At Last.”

Designed by The Fox Group and landscape and garden designer Emily Brooks Wayment, the English Tudor-style home includes several unique outdoor spaces, like a glass gazebo and Tuxedo Garden, as well as lush landscaping, with Belgard products that complement the overall style of the home.

“Working with Belgard has been such a joy,” says France. “Their innovative products and excellent service helped us create the amazing outdoor spaces that make up our dream home. My family is looking forward to making many happy memories here, thanks in part to Belgard.”

Belgard’s new Charlestone^TM paver, which mimics the look of hand-cobbled stone, was used in the driveway and patio areas to enhance the home’s Old English aesthetic. This paver was the perfect choice for the long, sloped driveway, as the design team wanted a grand and stylish entrance to the property. The driveway is lined with the Shelton Wall^TM, and the entryway features a classic black-and-white checkered floor pattern made with Glocal porcelain pavers.

Shelton Wall was a large component of the France home, as the build required extensive retaining wall structures. The Garden Wall in the backyard was constructed with Shelton Wall, with Brooks Wayment adding native Utah florals and grasses, as well as classic shrubs like boxwood and laurel hedge, to recreate the classic English style.

While not typically English, the home features an incredible poolscape designed with coping from Belgard, as well as Glocal porcelain pavers laid into the surrounding turf.

“It was wonderful working with Tan, Emily and The Fox Group to bring their amazing vision for this home to life,” says Courtney DiSalvo, Senior Brand Manager, Belgard. “The Belgard products used throughout Tan’s outdoor spaces amplify the beautiful English style of the home, which cuts a striking figure against the surrounding Utah mountains. We’re proud to be part of this project and hope Tan and his family enjoy their outdoor living areas for years to come.”
