Summary

Sometimes a backyard needs more than a quick refresh. For this project, we were asked to completely reshape and rebuild the outdoor space, dealing with drainage problems, overgrown plants, and outdated features.

The Work

Removed unwanted trees, shrubs, stumps, and river rock to open up the space
Regraded and constructed raised planting beds with fresh topsoil for better drainage
Planted a wide mix of shrubs, hydrangeas, roses, and perennials for color and structure
Installed a new paver edge and salt & pepper river rock for clean lines
Laid down dark brown mulch to tie everything together
Modified the irrigation system and installed new landscape lighting for evening enjoyment

The Outcome

The backyard now feels open, bright, and welcoming. The new plantings and fresh mulch add contrast and curb appeal. Upgraded drainage and irrigation help keep everything healthy, while carefully placed lighting highlights the garden at night. The result is a backyard that's both functional and beautiful.
