Our homeowner wanted us to make some important aesthetic changes to their outdoor space to allow them to better enjoy it. 

​

The design challenge was complex. Existing cedar hedge flanking three sides of the rear yard was encroaching into the usable area of the rear yard. The positive was the privacy and shading the hedges provided; the negative was that our client was allergic to them.

​

Once the hedges were gone, there was a need for a more modern update that would provide privacy, was durable and would give shade from the sun. The result was a new custom cedar fence continuing to and including the side gate and enclosure of the pool pump and equipment. The cedar built-in bench has a hinged lid for extra storage.

​

We relayed existing interlock throughout the space, creating a cohesive and seamless design and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the pool area. The tiered garden beds with minimal plants enhance the outdoor living space and adhere to the owners’ request for low maintenance. The stunning accent lighting that was placed throughout the yard creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the evening hours and blends in with the surroundings during the day. 

​

We used maintenance-free Timbertech decking for multiple deck areas. Whether relaxing in the lounge area with the propane fireplace (the propane tank is hidden behind the wall), or sitting in the canopy daybed with a good book, it’s comfortable day or night. Custom pergolas assist with sheltering from the harsh sun and also define independent areas. It’s a complete backyard oasis for the family.
