This is an example of a small traditional shade backyard landscaping in Surrey for summer.

This project focused on creating a clean, ultra low maintenance outdoor environment that seamlessly builds upon the home’s recent remodel. The rear yard was thoughtfully expanded by incorporating a previously unused and vacated easement area, allowing us to extend the usable space by nearly ten feet and significantly improve overall flow and functionality. The design emphasizes simple lines, durable materials, and low water plantings for long term ease of care. In the front yard, we refreshed the landscape with new planting and replaced inconsistent lawn areas with a stable rock ground cover, creating a more polished look with greater durability and reduced upkeep.

Turn an unused backyard into a stunning entertainment space designed for connection, relaxation, and unforgettable gatherings. This Lafayette project transformed a non-functional outdoor area into a beautifully designed, low-maintenance backyard retreat. The space now features custom paver hardscaping, artificial grass for year-round greenery, and carefully selected low-maintenance plants that bring life without the upkeep. To elevate both ambiance and usability, we installed low-voltage landscape lighting, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that extends the enjoyment well into the evening. At the heart of the yard, a custom fireplace anchors the space — perfect for gathering with friends, sharing a drink, and enjoying cool nights outdoors. The layout was thoughtfully designed to create a natural flow between lounging, entertaining, and open space, making the backyard feel larger, more functional, and effortlessly welcoming. What was once an overlooked yard is now the centerpiece of the home — a place where friends come together, conversations flow, and every visit feels like an experience.

This outdoor living remodel was designed for homeowners who wanted more than a deck — they were looking for a true extension of their living space that would allow for quiet mornings, casual gatherings, and time spent outdoors without leaving the comfort of home. The design includes three distinct zones: a screened-in porch, an open-air deck with a dining area, and a lower-level lounge with a fire feature. Together, these spaces support everyday flexibility and seasonal use, whether entertaining a group or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors. Low-maintenance composite decking, clean-lined railings, and screened panel systems were chosen to reduce upkeep while preserving natural views. Inside the porch, layered lighting, soft seating, and a ceiling fan provide year-round comfort and a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. This project reflects a simple but important goal: to create a connected, usable outdoor space that supports the way the homeowners live, relax, and gather.
