Backyard Makeover for Endless Family Fun

Project Overview

If you’re looking to create a backyard oasis that both you and your kids will love, this makeover features a beautiful paver patio, new deck, and turf “field of dreams.” The foundation of this outdoor living area is a gorgeous stone paver patio. The chevron pattern provides a visually appealing space for adult lounging, dining and entertaining. A solo fire pit and lighting plan were added to extend the usability of the space into the evening hours. A large portion of the yard was excavated and a new retaining wall was built to create the vibrant and low-maintenance artificial turf field.  This area is perfect for the kids to play sports, whether it’s soccer, baseball, or simply running barefoot, the soft surface is a safe and enjoyable play surface. The homeowner also desired a new and larger deck off the kitchen with added space for a grill.  Finally, a luxurious hot-tub elevates this outdoor living experience in a backyard that serves as an elegant entertainment space for adults and dynamic play area for their children.
