Dufferin Grove Modern Backyard

This typical Dufferin Grove downtown Toronto property is long and narrow. It calls to be broken up into separate rooms to take away from the bowling alley effect.

A short horizontal board screen with gardens on each side of it divides the dining and BBQ area from the lounging area.

The lounging area features a floating wood bench and a firetable.

Thin raised planters line the other side of the yard to maximize usable space.

A Red Japanese Maple, ornamental grasses, cedars and sedges complement one another and soften the patio spaces.
