Painting the Masterpiece


OBJECTIVE: To create a unique and interesting backyard that fits the natural wooded setting.
CHALLENGES: Limited space and uneven terrain.
SOLUTIONS:
• Natural materials, such as flagstone, were used to blend into the adjacent surroundings – a wooded ravine and wetland preserve.
• Fieldstone boulders were used create multi-level entertaining spaces and retain the existing slopes and grade changes.
• A pondless water feature, designed as a babbling brook with small waterfalls, helps add to the natural feel of the project while creating a gentle, calming water soundtrack to the backyard.
• A cozy fire pit patio expands the entertaining space and possibilities.
• Under-decking helps create a warm, dry patio space under the deck, with welcoming furniture and a small bar.
Location: Maple Grove, Minnesota
FEATURING: Stone Masonry, Fire Feature, Softscapes
