Suburban Backyard Sanctuary
Out with the dilapidated and crumbling and in with beautiful cut stone that will last a lifetime! This backyard was transformed into a functional outdoor living and dining space with mass plantings for screening and flowers! Special raised beds pull double duty and act as a seat wall when entertaining a group and frame in the patio space bringing flowers and herbs up close. Beds were cut for the entire perimeter fence line and was planted with mostly native species to frame up views and screen where needed. Because of the dense plantings there is interest and color all year long in their beautiful backyard!
