This compact coastal backyard was transformed into a terraced outdoor living area with a cozy fire pit and steps to an upper level deck, creating a more usable, inviting exterior space. Belgard pavers, composite decking, custom steel work, prefabricated concrete slabs, a renovated plastered retaining wall, Mexican pebble, Palomino gravel, pots and Mediterranean plants, and perfectly styled outdoor furniture complete this backyard retreat.
