Before image of backyard showing 'dirt island' as we lovingly referred to it as throughout the project.

Mapping out the path.

Adding pea gravel to the path.

Newly created pea-gravel pathway surrounding the perennial-heavy mound formerly known as 'dirt island.' The clients wanted to incorporate the gorgeous hydrangea, day lilies and sedum plants that were already established.

We built-up areas with stones that the clients already had.

The right side of the path.

We worked with one of our long-time contractors to replace the weathered wooden steps and create a trellis which will eventually cover-up the underbelly of the deck.

These stones and evergreen were already present, we just added more to the mix.

Walking around the left-side of the path.

We restabilized the trellis to give more support to this incredible grape vine.
