This yard was just a rectangle of grass. The only other items in place were some trees supplied by the builder and the wrought iron fence.
This was the wish list:
*Room to entertain
*Relax and read
*Water feature
*A swing
*Destination seating
*Space for BBQ unit
*Retain lawn for lawn games

Bottom line - they wanted "WOW"!
They now have three seating areas, room to dine, play lawn games, and enjoy a unique water feature. The space has a big visual weight and impact, yet is intimate and an outstanding space to relax and entertain.
