With limited space due to steep slopes and rugged terrain—this backyard project required a unique design.
The architect’s solution was to create elaborate retaining walls, walkways and step up and down levels, and finish the design off with a lovely waterfall that flows into a peaceful coy pond—and that’s what we did.
Lighting was also installed throughout to provide guidance at night and to create ambient light for evening enjoyment.
This now functional and roomy backyard is the perfect example of how a challenging space can become a functional space.
