Our clients, residing in a charming century home in the heart of downtown, had a backyard that fell short of its potential. Their old deck was tired, and the lack of aesthetic and functional details made it uninviting, especially with the sun and bugs driving them away.
To further enhance the backyard, we introduced a cedar pergola over a side paver patio, creating a versatile space ideal for barbecues and social gatherings. This addition is complemented by a privacy screen that shields against views from neighbouring stairways, ensuring a more intimate setting. Raised stone planters were strategically placed to add visual interest and a touch of nature, while a low-maintenance planting scheme was chosen to reduce upkeep. The combination of cedar and stone elements creates a cohesive and inviting outdoor area that is both functional and beautiful.
