At this residence, we created a small flagstone patio and backyard fire area nestled in the corner of their property. A pondless water feature starts behind the fire pit. Its first set of falls cascade down toward the fire and the viewers, then the stream winds its way around the boulders that contain the fire area. The final cascade faces the house and outdoor kitchen, making the feature visible and audible from all outdoor living areas. Plantings provide seasonal color and screening from the golf course without blocking the broader view.

Picking up on the firmly set flagstone pathway on the other side of the yard, this one leads to the overflow patio previously mentioned. An additional 120 square feet of outdoor living is amble space for the largest of garden parties. The perimeter of large basalt boulders acts as an informal seating-in-the-round.
