Part of the fence was removed as the clients didn't need it. Turf was also removed. To add interest to the space, we terraced the slope backyard with 6" steel edging. The curves visually expand the space.

We expanded the outdoor seating area, added terracing with steel edging and pea gravel, and planted a low maintenance garden.

A boulder wall replaced a concrete block wall and unneeded fencing.

A colorful planted ceramic vessel creates an exuberant focal point.

We planted the boulder wall crevices with hardy sedums.

Boulders embedded in the pea gravel add a third dimension to the space while creating a dialogue with the boulder walls.

The project 1.5 years after installation.
