Mar Vista Modern
Outdoor Living Transformation
This Mar Vista backyard remodeling project transformed an outdated outdoor space into a modern, low-maintenance backyard with a Trex deck, aluminum patio cover, fire pit, concrete slabs, turf joints, planter wall, artificial turf, drainage, gas line, electrical upgrades, and integrated LED lighting.
Creating A Modern
Low-Maintenance Backyard
The existing yard had potential, but it needed structure, shade, better circulation, durable materials, lighting, and utility upgrades before it could function as a complete outdoor living environment.
- Create a defined shaded lounge area without overwhelming the backyard.
- Use low-maintenance materials like Trex decking, concrete slabs, and artificial turf.
- Improve drainage, gas, and electrical infrastructure before final finishes.
- Add fire, lighting, and planting elements to create a day-to-night outdoor experience.
- Turn an underused yard into a clean modern backyard for entertaining and relaxation.
