CREATING USABLE BACKYARD SPACE

A backyard that’s overgrown or limited in functional space provides a great deal of potential. A client in Plymouth, Minnesota wanted to increase the usable space in their backyard.

Because the property’s wood line was close to the back of the house, very little yard was available for use. In order to create an outdoor space suitable for kids, pets, and entertaining, we needed to clear out some of the woods.

OUR PROCESS

To complete this project, we:

• Removed trees and brush to create usable space
• Built a bridge over a dry creek bed to allow for drainage
• Added steps to an existing deck
• Cut in seat boulders to steps and patio around the fire

Although we removed much of the existing foliage, we added new trees and shrubbery to the custom design to help enhance the natural setting. The outdoor space now functions as an extension of the home.
