Beach Backyard Makeover

In this Beaches backyard, there was a plain lower deck lacking privacy and a small shed tucked away in a corner. The goal was to enhance privacy along the deck, create a low-maintenance lawn for shaded areas, and revamp the existing outdoor space.

To address this, we introduced a raised planter with cedars on one side of the deck and a horizontal wooden privacy screen on the other. Complementing this, an artificial lawn bordered by crisp flagstones added definition to the lower area, while stepping stones leading to the shed brought an additional layer of charm.

Along the back, tall cedar plantings and tiered plant arrangements not only provided the desired privacy but also diversified the backyard's plant palette. The existing decks, given some care and new stains, were revitalised and now flow seamlessly up to the different levels of the house.

The transformation sets the scene for enjoyable evenings with friends in this newly revamped space
