SERENE SIDEYARD

This side yard was left in complete disarray following an extensive basement excavation project. Our clients envisioned transforming this neglected space into a beautiful and inviting gateway to their backyard. Since this area naturally stayed the coolest during summer months, we saw an opportunity to create an appealing retreat where the homeowners would actually want to spend time.

The design features a natural bluestone pathway with mortared joints that gracefully guides visitors past a stunning Japanese maple. The journey continues alongside a substantial retaining wall planter filled with bamboo, complete with an integrated built-in bench for comfortable seating. The pathway culminates in an elegant staggered bluestone stairway that provides seamless access to the backyard.

Throughout the design, we incorporated vibrant plantings that line the walkway, adding rich texture and visual interest while enhancing the space's natural beauty and creating a truly welcoming transition between spaces.
