Solving a Disconnected Backyard with Unified Outdoor Design
A rotting deck and scattered ideas gave way to a cohesive backyard designed for connection, comfort, and daily use.
Problem
The Denston's had a backyard that felt uninspired and unusable. A rotting deck, no clear layout, and uncertainty around how to bring features like a fireplace, kitchen, and swim spa together left them stuck.
They had a vision of what they wanted—but no idea how to make it happen or where to start. Without a plan, their yard remained untouched and underwhelming, and the pressure to “get it right” kept the project stalled. The space lacked both function and heart, and it wasn’t serving the needs of a growing family.
Solution
We designed a layout that pulled every element into a single, functional design. Our team guided the project from vision to build, making sure it reflected both their priorities and the way they actually live.
The new design included clear zones for gathering, cooking, and relaxing—so nothing felt like an afterthought. We replaced the old deck with durable materials and introduced structure to the yard without making it feel overbuilt. Each feature served a purpose, and the final layout worked together as a whole.
Result
The Denston's now have a backyard that feels connected, complete, and easy to enjoy. What was once a source of stress is now a place they use with confidence and pride.
