Room to Gather.
Space to Breathe.

From tight corners and dead ends to wide-open possibilities, this project features a rural retreat transformed for family living and endless entertaining.

THE CHALLENGE: A BACKYARD WITH NO DESTINATION

This country home had a sprawling 2,000 sq. ft. patio, but none of it worked for the way the family wanted to live. The outdoor kitchen was unusable. There was no pool. And the layout felt like a hidden cove, forcing people to squeeze around the pond to get anywhere.

THE VISION

Our mission was to fit it all in: a pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and generous patio zones—all while keeping enough open space for kids to roam and run.

It wasn’t just about adding features; it was about connecting them into a seamless experience, bringing natural textures into a modern layout, and transforming the space from closed-off to completely inviting.

THE TRANSFORMATION

MADE FOR MEMORIES.BUILT TO LAST.

Now, the patio flows with purpose. Natural stone pathways guide guests through distinct destinations, while the pool and hot tub become a hub for relaxation and fun. A full outdoor kitchen and island bar, complete with smoker, makes hosting effortless. And strategic landscape lighting ensures the space shines long after sunset.

Every inch of this backyard was reimagined to be lived in by family and friends.
