Summary

This project called for a complete outdoor living space that could handle both the natural slope of the yard and the need for inviting gathering spots. The homeowner wanted a place for family and friends to gather comfortably while keeping the woodland feel intact.

The Work

Installed curved Allan block retaining walls to elevate patio areas and prevent soil washout
Laid over 1900 square feet of pavers with double border for patios and walkways
Built two sitting walls with columns and a fire pit for a central gathering area
Added stone steps, landscape edging, and drainage to manage water flow and define beds
Integrated landscape lighting and natural stone steppers throughout the space

The Outcome

The outdoor area now features easy-to-follow walkways, level gathering spaces, and a central fire pit that suits both daily use and special occasions. The design blends with the wooded setting, and the new drainage and retaining walls keep the space usable year-round.
