BE INSPIRED

Pools and hot tubs bring laid-back luxury to any

backyard space, and offer kids and adults alike a great

reason to stay home. Depending on the size of your yard

and the other elements you’ve included in your design,

a pool or hot tub (or both) can be a bold focal point or a

stunning complement.

Falling water can turn your landscape into

a tranquil, mediative oasis. Design it with

natural stone and casual mass plantings for

an English country vibe. Formal, geometric

treatments make it modern.

D I N E A N D R E C L I N EThe patio is the heart of many backyard designs.

Interlocking pavers or stone “floors” define areas

for cooking, dining and lounging. Pergolas add

architectural interest and protection from sun and rain.

So much more than places to sit or eat, these patios are

places to make memories.

Add serious square footage to your living space by

creating outdoor “rooms”. Comfy seating arranged

to invite long, relaxed conversations is a must. We

all love to gather by the fire, whether that’s real

wood or a liquid fuel. You can extend the use of

your outdoor rooms with a propane heater.

F O R M M E E T S F U N C T I O NRetaining walls are must-haves in yards with prob-

lem slopes, erosion and drainage. Turn a necessary

evil into a thing of beauty with a smart landscape

design.

While our backyards are by

invitation-only, our front yards

are seen by everyone, sending a

message to the world about who

we are. But there’s a personal

side to them too, as they greet

us every time we arrive home

and set the tone for what we’ll

experience once we open the

front door.

Walkways and driveways are

practical additions to the

landscape, providing a clear and

safe way for people and vehicles to

arrive at their destination. But they

can have architectural and design

merit all of their own. Do you want

to inspire curiosity? Calm? Awe?

A smile? Start with a feeling and

build your design from there.

Lighting is about safety. It’s also about ambience. Use it

to highlight architectural or natural features, and create

intimacy and warmth.

Inspiration is where every backyard design project starts. It can take

many forms: pinning photos, drawing pictures, taking notes and more.

The next step is to put the pieces together into a coherent whole,

while sticking to a budget. That’s where the advice of a landscape

professional comes in—someone who can see the big picture as well

as the details. If you want to turn your landscaping inspiration into a

backyard design for real life, talk to us.
