Planning out the backyard space

=20
=20 =20

K.V. received s= uggestions from friends, including calls for a pool, but found herself insp= ired by the gardens of Mexico and Brazil. She preferred lush retreats and w= elcoming outdoor decks for relaxation and fun. Hosting friends and b= arbecues was top of mind.

 

Her vision for = cedar fencing became the focal point of the project. The Brooklyn backyard = renovation was framed by horizontal cedar boards with areas to lounge and d= ine. The red perimeter incorporated natural clean lines.

Her Sweeten con= tractor started by clearing the yard entirely. They pulled up everything un= til they reached fresh dirt, making way for a clean slate.

After clearing = and leveling the plot, he installed stained cedar fencing around the full y= ard. A lone mature tree in the far right corner of the yard was preserved. = The crew discovered bluestone under the rubbish during demolition. As a res= ult, it was upcycled as part of a pathway leading to an elevated oasis at t= he back filled with gravel. No two renovations are the same. Post your project on Sweeten to see what creative ba= ckyard ideas you and your contractor can plan together. Here are some = backy= ard renovation costs to take into consideration.

Discovering the green thumb

Although they u= sed fresh sod sparingly, the yard=E2=80=99s midsection revealed a green, lu= sh aesthetic. K.V. admitted that having grass was a lot of work. As a conse= quence, however, she acquired a green thumb, a better sense of gardening, a= nd plans for increased plantings next year. A row of mulch ran along the le= ft side of the fencing with annuals, perennials, and blooms, K.V. had a gre= at foundation for her newly acquired landscaping skills.
