Covered Patio
Orchard made the new steps off the deck a design feature — they create diagonal lines and appear to float. Now there’s a pleasing and easy path between the two levels. “I wanted to make a nice, gentle transition from top to bottom, especially as the owners have young children,” Orchard says. “I also wanted to do something a bit different. The steps are designed to lead you down and then diagonally across the [yard].”

delineating this space with an L-shaped privacy screen to shield it from pedestrians on the adjacent walking path. The screen was constructed with concrete posts and horizontal wood slats. “The slats provide privacy but also allow some sunlight to filter through,”

This photo illustrates the clever way Baughman used the long steel planter to create one of two terraces that hold back the hillside. He matched the black-painted steel of the planter on the upper retaining wall. Dwarf fountain grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln’, zones 4 to 11) softens the bench and rustles in the wind. The silvery plants that hang down from the planters are silver ponyfoot (Dichondra argentea, zones 9 to 11). Baughman kept water-conscious plants in mind throughout the yard and used zoysia grass for the lawn. (The warm-season grass requires less water and fertilization than most other traditional turfgrasses.)
