This Tampa Palms client wanted a clean, modern look. The concrete squares are divided by wood strips, stained and sealed to preserve the dark color. Benches along the walls that straddled planters of succulents, bamboo, and other structural plants, accented the modern landscape style. TampaLandscapeDesign created this 28'x30' outdoor room with grill and cedar food prep area. Wood bordered the concrete squares to extend the patio. Concrete planters with a stuccoed smooth surface and cantilevered shelves in the cedar wall add interest and places to put garden art. Lauren Shiner, Landscape Designer
