This project began with a very large unused back yard space. The design was created to have multiple areas for the children and adults. The site required concrete retaining walls to create upper and lower areas. The upper area includes an outdoor fireplace, built-in seating, concrete patio and artificial lawn (to minimize water use). The lower area was developed as an oasis getaway for the owners. A steel & wood trellis was created to provide shade and an area to install a hammock and swings. Additionally, a vegetable garden area and additional lawn space was created. Materials included ipe wood, cast-in-place patio and retaining walls, aluminum, natural ledge stone veneer for the fireplace & premium artificial lawn.
