Even when there is a steep grade, the addition (or rearrangement of) boulders, rocks and plantings can transform a problem area into a real advantage. In the first photo, in order to add a pool, a retaining wall of support was needed to hold back the grade. Instead of an unattractive wooden one, Deck and Patio suggested the addition of boulders etc. as the ideal spot for several waterfalls and a water slide nestled into the slope . This turned the area into a natural vista that enhances, instead of takes away, from the family’s enjoyment of their yard. www.deckandpatio.com

Renovated back yard with new and repurposed plantings, extended paver walkway, boulder garden and synthetic turf... We modified irrigation to drip for new planting beds. Here is a nice place to sit and view the garden.

Incredible transition of a backyard erosion issue, into a beautiful and functional space. Sloped driveway led to large volume of water directed to backyard at high rate of speed and washing out slope. A custom box was created and 3 solid pipes were installed and run underground to a lower part of the yard into a dry riverbed to slow down the water. Rock was placed on the hillside for functionality, as well as design. Pine straw was placed in other areas for clean look.
