Project Objectives
This project focuses on transforming a steep, underutilized backyard into a functional, beautiful, and long-lasting outdoor space. By combining expert excavation, reinforced paver systems, and structural elements, the goal was to create a safe and inviting area for relaxation, recreation, and home value enhancement.
Hillside Excavation:
Grading and cutting into the hillside to create flat, usable land that serves as the foundation for all outdoor features.
Reinforced Patio Construction:
Installing a custom paver patio designed to support the weight and vibration of a hot tub, while offering space for outdoor enjoyment.
Functional Walkway:
Walkways were added to create natural flow between the main home and the new patio. These paths improve accessibility and visually tie the yard together.
Retaining Wall
A retaining wall was constructed to hold back the earth, provide support to the new landscape, and protect the overall integrity of the site.
Outdoor Living
The space was designed to be more than just functional. It offers areas for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors, all tailored to fit the homeowner’s lifestyle.
