PORTFOLIO OF INSPIRED RENOVATIONS
The Goal The homeowners were looking for a way to draw their family outside to use their expansive but barren backyard. The property lacked shade and privacy. We sought to create a welcoming outdoor space that is an extension of their indoor living area. The Starting Point The design centered around the programming elements that were requested: a pool, outdoor kitchen area, vegetable garden, fireplace, and patio area. Each space was defined by stone elements—sitting walls, a fireplace, bluestone patios—and elevated with lush plantings. The Highlights Lining the property with evergreen screening made the yard feel like a private oasis, while large deciduous trees were planted to provide shade around the main living areas. The pool area was outfitted with a generous pergola with added shade screens. What had been a minimal patio and sunbaked lawn was transformed into an inviting outdoor space.
