Rebuilding for a New Lifestyle

The owner of this home has grown children now, and the old deck and pool had served its useful lifespan.  The owner's goals included creating a lower maintenance space that served their desire to entertain large groups. They love their wooded, rural home, but also recognize the need to make the spaces easy to access.

Finished Patio

After:  

Grades have been adjusted to reduce the number and height of the stairs leading into the landscape. 

This project shows how well a client/contractor partnership can work.  The client did much of the work themselves, including installation of the new deck.  We performed the major site work, built all the walls and infrastructure, and completed the patio and bench seating. Accent lighting adds a nice touch at night, and adds safety.

Raised beds along the deck eliminated the need for railings, creating unobstructed views.
