Project Description:
The client desired a large outdoor dining area and some living space. They do a lot of entertaining and wanted a clean look and some privacy. A water feature was added to the existing pool along with outdoor lighting.
Though most of the work was done in the back yard, we also installed a porcelain paver walkway in the front of the home. A sodded lawn was included along with some carefully chosen plantings.
Project Materials:
The porcelain walkway in the front yard was installed using BayRock Moon Porcelain Pavers.
For the back-yard patio, BayRock Moon Porcelain Pavers were also used. The seat wall was wet laid with lava rock veneer and capped with 14” wide Bluestone. Bluestone steppers with SynLawn artificial turf were added. And finally, a privacy fence was installed using Black Aluminum posts and black vinyl boards.

Project Description:
This backyard renovation project began with our client’s desire to take advantage of their large yard for family sports and games. Unfortunately, the property was on an extreme slope from the woods to the home. Their goals were to be able to have a flat area of grass, a large patio area for dining and entertaining, and a decorative landscape with lighting.
Challenges:
Steep sloping grade from back to front. Water runoff. Heavy shade from trees.
Solutions:
We re-graded the slope and reverse engineered the water runoff. Large natural boulder retaining wall systems with drainage were installed along with a large patio and seating walls. Deer resistant plantings and decorative gravel were done to complete the project.
