Your goals for the space
You’d like a low-maintenance backyard where the family can gather in the evening, with color through the seasons and better drainage near the back fence. This design replaces the worn lawn with a patio, layered planting beds, and soft lighting.
Gather
A 420 sq ft patio sized for a table for eight
Grow
Native plantings that thrive with little water
Glow
Lighting for safe, inviting evenings
