BE INSPIRED
Pools and hot tubs bring laid-back luxury to any
backyard space, and offer kids and adults alike a great
reason to stay home. Depending on the size of your yard
and the other elements you’ve included in your design,
a pool or hot tub (or both) can be a bold focal point or a
stunning complement.

Falling water can turn your landscape into
a tranquil, mediative oasis. Design it with
natural stone and casual mass plantings for
an English country vibe. Formal, geometric
treatments make it modern.
D I N E A N D R E C L I N EThe patio is the heart of many backyard designs.
Interlocking pavers or stone “floors” define areas
for cooking, dining and lounging. Pergolas add
architectural interest and protection from sun and rain.
So much more than places to sit or eat, these patios are
places to make memories.
Add serious square footage to your living space by
creating outdoor “rooms”. Comfy seating arranged
to invite long, relaxed conversations is a must. We
all love to gather by the fire, whether that’s real
wood or a liquid fuel. You can extend the use of
your outdoor rooms with a propane heater.
F O R M M E E T S F U N C T I O NRetaining walls are must-haves in yards with prob-
lem slopes, erosion and drainage. Turn a necessary
evil into a thing of beauty with a smart landscape
design.
While our backyards are by
invitation-only, our front yards
are seen by everyone, sending a
message to the world about who
we are. But there’s a personal
side to them too, as they greet
us every time we arrive home
and set the tone for what we’ll
experience once we open the
front door.

Walkways and driveways are
practical additions to the
landscape, providing a clear and
safe way for people and vehicles to
arrive at their destination. But they
can have architectural and design
merit all of their own. Do you want
to inspire curiosity? Calm? Awe?
A smile? Start with a feeling and
build your design from there.

Lighting is about safety. It’s also about ambience. Use it
to highlight architectural or natural features, and create
intimacy and warmth.

Inspiration is where every backyard design project starts. It can take
many forms: pinning photos, drawing pictures, taking notes and more.
The next step is to put the pieces together into a coherent whole,
while sticking to a budget. That’s where the advice of a landscape
professional comes in—someone who can see the big picture as well
as the details. If you want to turn your landscaping inspiration into a
