With elevations to work with, this backyard renovation offered unique opportunities to improve on old retaining structures by utilizing boulder and structured wall retaining. Both created stable spaces for pool and patio while creating small rooms and quaint pockets for landscaping. Useful features such as a pavilion by the pool for shade, a built in grill, and outdoor lighting make the space as functional as it is beautiful. Other features include a boulder slide and waterfall and multiple levels to the patio.
