Urban Retreat

A backyard that was full of invasive trees and weeds was transformed into a destination spot.

The bluestone patio is surrounded by plantings that attract pollinators and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. Granite blocks retain the slope while acting as seating stones. This efficient use of materials allows the space to comfortably accommodate many people. The soothing sounds of a water feature and landscape lighting allow visitors to relax well into the evening.
