Fence material & seating

9 years ago

I love the design and materials for this backyard space! Could you share what type of wood and/or stain on the fence? Concrete and floating bench - could you describe how this came together? Looking for a similar scheme in my LG yard.

Hi Grace, thank you for the positive feedback. The fence in the background is horizontal redwood with a cedar-tone stain. The backrest is a poured-in-place integral color concrete wall with a cantilevered redwood bench. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions, or if you would like to meet to discuss the design for your space. Thanks, again!
