Backyard Refresh
From Just a Yard to Something More
Sure, there was grass. There were rocks. But that’s about where the story ended. The backyard looked neat, but it didn’t exactly say “come hang out here.” The homeowners wanted a reason to step outside and stay awhile.
-
The first thing you notice now? The new tiered steps off the patio doors. They’re wide, welcoming, and make you feel like you’re being invited onto a stage. Instead of a quick drop into the yard, there’s a grand entrance into outdoor living.
-
Just beyond the steps, sleek pavers stretch out into a generous patio. It connects perfectly with the deck and feels like a natural extension of the home. Suddenly, there’s a proper spot for gathering instead of just a stretch of lawn.
-
The stone edging is one of those little details that makes everything pop. Dark borders frame the patio, highlight the lawn, and corral the rock beds. It’s crisp, clean, and makes the whole design feel intentional.
-
Even the side yard got in on the action. Large stepping stones float through river rock, flanked by grasses that soften the lines. What used to be wasted space is now a playful walkway that ties the backyard together.
-
At the heart of it all is the new gathering spot, complete with cozy seating and a fire feature made for conversation. Whether it’s s’mores with the kids, late-night talks with friends, or a quiet morning coffee, this backyard is now ready for every kind of moment.

“Pat and Cody did an excellent job. The design and preconstruction work/meetings were organized and well thought out. Pat listened to my requests and was extremely professional. Communication was clear. Plant recommendations were nice. Pat and Cody worked in a way that was minimally invasive and kept the project site neat and orderly. They completed the project timely and everything looks beautiful!”
