Creating A Usable
Low-Maintenance Backyard

The existing backyard needed stronger structure, better outdoor usability, restored deck surfaces, and a cleaner layout for sitting, play, planting, and everyday family use.

  • Create a modern backyard layout inside a compact outdoor footprint.
  • Restore and stain the existing wood deck instead of replacing it.
  • Install turf and pavers to reduce maintenance and improve usability.
  • Add a Bastion planter wall to define planting areas.
  • Improve landscape performance with drip irrigation.

Existing Backyard
Before Remodeling

Before construction, the backyard needed a cleaner layout, restored deck finish, better planting structure, and more usable outdoor living space.

Design Strategy

  • Use pavers to create a clean patio and sitting area.
  • Use Marathon turf to create a soft play and activity zone.
  • Use the Bastion wall and planting layout to define the edge conditions.
