Design ideas for a large asian full sun backyard pond in San Francisco.

This project the client had an existing deck and pool area, but no way to get from the downstairs level of their house out to the pool without walking up a steep grassy slope. They also had no way to get from their driveway to their back yard pool without walking down a steep grass covered hill. We built a paver patio off the back of the house, and then a paver sidewalk with steps leading all the way up the hill to the pool area, and continuing the rest of the way up the hill to the driveway. That way no matter where they were they had a nice sidewalk to walk on. We also built an additional patio area with curved bench seating wall around a wood burning fire pit for additional back yard entertaining.

Our clients came to us looking for a complete renovation of the rear facade of their Atlanta home and attached deck. Their wish list included a contemporary, functional design that would create spaces for various uses, both for small family gatherings and entertaining larger parties. The result is a stunning, custom outdoor living area with a wealth of options for relaxing and socializing. The upper deck is the central dining and entertaining area and includes a custom cantilevered aluminum pergola, a covered grill and prep area, and gorgeous concrete fire table and floating wooden bench. As you step down to the lower deck you are welcomed by the peaceful sound of cascading water from the custom concrete water feature creating a Zen atmosphere for the entire deck. This feature is a gorgeous focal point from inside the house as well. To define the different outdoor rooms and also provide passive seating opportunities, the steps have built-in recessed lighting so that the space is well-defined in the evening as well as the daytime. The landscaping is modern and low-maintenance and is composed of tight, linear plantings that feature complimentary hues of green and provides privacy from neighboring properties.
