The Challenge
A Blank Canvas with a Big Vision
The homeowners had a wide open backyard with nothing but grass — no patio, no landscaping, and no usable outdoor living space. They wanted a complete backyard transformation that included a covered dining area, a separate lounge space, and landscaping that added privacy and structure.
The design needed to connect to the existing deck stairs, create defined zones for entertaining and relaxing, and add year-round greenery to frame the space.
Our Approach
Layered Design for Year-Round Living
We designed a multi-zone patio anchored by a wood pergola with a metal roof — creating a covered outdoor dining area that’s usable rain or shine. The patio extends beyond the pergola to create an open lounge area with room for a fire pit and additional seating.
Custom paver steps connect the patio to the yard, while a curved landscape bed wraps the entire space with arborvitae evergreens, rock beds, and paver edging to create a polished, defined border between the patio and lawn.
Project Details
Project Highlights
Covered Pergola
Wood-framed pergola with metal roof provides shade and weather protection for the outdoor dining area year-round.
Custom Paver Steps
Wide paver steps with contrasting border connect the patio to the lawn, matching the patio’s pattern and color throughout.
Privacy Arborvitaes
Arborvitae plantings with river rock and paver edging create a natural privacy screen and polished border around the entire patio.
The Result
From Empty Yard to Outdoor Oasis
What was once a flat, empty backyard is now a fully functional outdoor living space with distinct zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining. The covered pergola serves as the centerpiece, while the surrounding patio and landscape beds give the space a finished, intentional feel.
The evergreen plantings provide year-round color and growing privacy as they mature. The homeowners now spend more time outside than inside — exactly what they were hoping for.
Client Review
What the Homeowner Had to Say
Mark and his team did fantastic work on my paver patio + landscaping! He was very attentive during the design process, while I felt competitors wanted to get me a quote and get out. Mark is flexible in any unique requests, and makes sure all work is done to perfection. The online payment portal was super easy to use, and worked with me on any financial concerns I had. I highly recommend Mark for any patio/landscaping needs!
