Backyard Redesign - Phased Plan

Rendering of the complete backyard plan.
The goal of this project was to remove a lower deck & reconfigure the
 pool surround to allow space for a firepit, and to provide a garden area
for the family to enjoy.

Phase I involved making changes to fencing, extending a
garden bed and adding a feature tree.

Phase II involved removing the lower deck, extending the concrete
and adding a new garden bed around the remaining deck.

Phase III involved reconfiguring the perimeter landscape bed
and adding a small seating area.
