BEFORE
Not enough usable space. Unkempt & inconsistent plantings. Dirt and dust everywhere!
Steve and Kacey, who lived in a tiny apartment for years, bought this property in wine country because of all the space. The only issue: most of the yard was unusable because of an excess of leaves, dirt, and an absence of spaces for dining and entertaining. So, they turned to Yardzen.
PROJECT GOAL & REQUIREMENTS:
Revitalize and trim back existing trees to create more light
Habitat-supporting plants to attract pollinators
Lighting for evenings outside
Achieve a modern rustic look for this wine country home
Distinct spaces for dining, entertaining, and relaxing
Low-maintenance ground coverings
Create privacy from back and side neighbors
THE FORGOTTEN BACKYARD
LET'S BEGIN WITH
First draft 3D design
A mix of ground coverings—grass, pavers, and gravel—to create distinct zones in the yard.
Low-maintenance grasses and flowering shrubs. Bring on the pollinators!
Keep the lemon tree. (We keep trees whenever we can!)
Evergreens along the back fence to create privacy
Space for a hot tub!
Steve and Kacey's Feedback
”More plantings along the back fence to make it feel more lush”
Crepe Myrtles instead of evergreens. “Would love some seasonal color”
“Prefer turf over grass (low-maintenance and low-water)”
“Prefer warmer-colored pea gravel”
“Love the distinct zones you created with hardscaping”
FINAL DESIGN
A plan the homeowners love. Let’s find a contractor!
From 3D design to finished project
A new backyard that checks all of the boxes, designed fully online and installed by a local contractor.
