THE CHALLENGE
This small, sloped backyard was difficult to enjoy and had drainage issues, with water running toward the house.
The homeowners wanted to reclaim the space and create a functional area for entertaining and relaxing.
OUR APPROACH
We regraded the slope to improve drainage and added hardscaping to create defined, usable spaces.
Native plants, a firepit, outdoor kitchen, putting green, and spa area transformed the yard into a cohesive retreat built for both beauty and function.
THE RESULTS
The once unusable slope is now a multi-purpose outdoor retreat—complete with spaces for cooking, relaxing, and play.
With improved drainage, native plantings, and thoughtful design, the yard is now both practical and picturesque—ready for year-round enjoyment.
