After a major remodel on this Raised Ranch in the western suburbs of Chicago, the landscape is more than ready for its turn.
The design incorporates flagstone salvaged from the original landscape and repurposed as a patio for the fire pit and stepping stones in the back yard, the front foundation gets a new retaining wall of this same salvaged material.
A water feature sited between the main outdoor living space and fire pit patio becomes a major focal point.
