Heavy shade, soil erosion and poor drainage were wreaking havoc on this secluded back yard. We graded the yard and added drainage before adding a new layer of healthy soil on top to encourage the new plants and sod to thrive. We controlled water flow with composite edging and gravel areas and added lots of colorful shade shrubs and perennials.

We extended an existing patio with multicolored Cantera marble pavers and installed a chain link fence and gate and an artificial turf dog run in the side yard for their sweet pup to enjoy.
