2019 Landscape Projects - Bend Backyard Make-over
During the winter of 2018/2019 a wonderful family contacted me to make-over their backyard, they had an old paver patio that had warped over the years and some lawn. The clients hired me to help them create a more functional, modern backyard with kitchen, fire pit, dining area and water feature.
Before: A tired backyard with a warped old paver patio and a not very functional lawn and surrounding beds.
After: A modern luxurious backyard with a large patio, Zen fire pit from Cement Elegance, bubbling boulder water feature, enticing outdoor kitchen and subtle lighting. The surrounding planting includes a layered selection of perennials, shrubs and trees that create seasonal interest and a lush paradise made for the Central Oregon climate.
After: The patio is now large enough to be multi-functional with fire pit, dining area and outdoor kitchen easily accessible from inside.
After: A modern, state of the art outdoor kitchen with grill and smoker, with integrated sink and counters custom made by Cement Elegance. The Light Smoke color of the cement counters and cladding complement the grey of the large pavers in the patio creating a unified color palette for the backyard.
After: The Zen firepit from Cement Elegance is the perfect size for the backyard creating a twilight gathering place for the family to enjoy their beautiful backyard and watch the stars twinkle.
After: The Bubbling Boulder water feature installed by Brian O'Keefe of Ripple Effect creates a soothing sound to the garden bringing in birds and butterflies who drink or bathe in the waters.
Frontyard Before: The family spends a lot of time in the front yard with the children playing on the sidewalk or in the street with the rest of the neighborhood. The homeowners desired a better place to sit, socialize and watch their children.
