fire image - "I would love to incorporate your image into a presentation (Trends in Outdoor Living) I am doing for the Shade conference in Phoenix. Is there any way you could please send me this image (approx. 1200x800 pixels is fine) to: kathryn@prideauxdesign.net? I would SO appreciate it. And I will definitely give your firm credits on the image. Thank you!" »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
This retaining wall makes itself extra useful by incorporating a bench and fire pit into its side.
added by John Hill to Inspired Designs for Sloped Lots
One way of thinking about backyards with some topographical character is as separate outdoor "rooms," where a larger area is broken down into smaller parts on different levels. This is especially suitable to tight urban lots, like this one in San Francisco. Large pavers with moss growing in the gaps lead to steps to a raised area ...
added by Jen Jafarzadeh L'Italien to Mossy Accents for Indoors and Out
The lines of green moss in the floor balances all the slick concrete and gray stone of this modern patio.
