1410 Shadybrook back patio

for front yard diagonal parking

Q

I made an attempt - with Jesse's mathematician skills - to create a rough rendering based on what we discussed with Dean so far. :)

Q

We like how the edges are a bit more free form and not perfectly squared off.

Q

This is our idea of how we'd like to best utilize the NE corner of our side/back yard for a few raised planter beds with walking space between.

Q

Like this look for retaining wall along north fence line and for NE corner raised planter beds. Probably not as tall so the filler dirt isn't so deep?

Q

We really like how Dean's back door/deck quickly steps down to the large square paver patio and then moves to a easy-to-maintain hardscape surface.

Q

If we go with a more contemporary feel, we like the look of the square pavers with pea gravel or similar between for the walking paths, complemented by a back patio similar to yours in your backyard. :)

Q

Like this idea to lead from front of house around the north side to the back/side yard - but probably using square pavers to complement what they lead to in the back - but open to your suggestions from an aesthetic standpoint. :)

Q

Like the idea of an extension like this off of the patio out to a fire pit in decomposed granite setting with adirondak chairs.

Q

Like the decomposing granite and gravel for behind the house.

Q

like these pavers/rock/greenery - probably no lawn though...

Q

like the gray/white/black color palette and the pavers/gravel.

Q

like these pavers

Q

like wood and stone feel, like wood bench - maybe on shorter concrete footer.

Q

Not sure what we like about this, but we like it - maybe it's bringing in some low maintenance greenery...

Q

We do NOT want a solid, stamped concrete due to temperature changes, roots, etc.
