Cozy Backyard Living
This small backyard in central Bellevue provided the perfect space for a backyard retreat and an expanded entertainment area for our clients.
The family, originally from the Tri-Cities area, sought to bring a taste of their old familiar climate to their new Bellevue backyard. Our designers made that possible by including flat-topped rock outcroppings, crushed stone for the planting beds, and concrete curbing for simplified mowing and edging. The existing patio was very small, so our landscape architect and design team created an expanding patio and dining space nestled among a signature water feature, vanishing edge rock, and planting borders.
Despite the small size of their backyard, our team was able to create space and elements which our clients will enjoy well into their retirement years.
