This existing outdoor space was transformed using a mix of new and re-purposed materials. A Ne Trex deck makes better use of the space while keeping maintenance to a minimum. The dry- laidre- purposed blue- stone pavers provide good drainage to reduce standing water and mosquitoes in this urban back yard. The existing mature trees were combined with new plantings of ferns, perennials and vines to add dimension and texture to the outdoor area and soften the lines of the fence. The new seating area is perfect for BBQ'ing and dining al- fresco.
