Backyard Before and After

5 years ago

A backyard renovation I recently completed: Before was a soggy old lawn, some rotting stairs and a broken concrete pathway. After I was done there is a beautiful new concrete slab patio, covered bbq area, landscape lighting and lots of new plants! Tell me what you think about the transformation.

Wow, great job it looks nice! If you didn't say this is a before/after I would have never thought that it is the backyard of the same house!

Do you have any after photos that were taken from the same angle as the before pics, that would really help show the transformation

Always a no to fake grass from me. it would cheapen the effect you have created so much. It always looks tacky. Some more plants would look great. Evergreen agapanthus would give year round green with beautiful spikes of purple flowers in the summer 😊

Hi ED, Thanks! Yep the eye of faith is crucial with winter garden makeovers! It'll be loads more plant dominated in a year or two. There's already a pump in the pond, which works as a standalone fountain, but can be adapted to power a cascade on the wall behind. We're having all sorts of whacky ideas like building a 'marble run' style sculpture incorporating all our favourite things, (archaeology, sci fi etc) or a commissioned metal sculpture that looks like a steel version of Virginia creeper.

Beautiful space!

This new outdoor living space looks like an inviting oasis! All of the added foliage surrounding the patio creates privacy in a fresh, and lively application. The solution to the compact steps up to the door is a simple, smart design which really helps to update space.

Excellent work!

From a yard no one would want to be in, to one that looks great to hang out and relax in. The homeowners must be very happy!

Looks nice. The stairs look dangerous. I had something similar at my previous house and I and several visitors nearly fell on them. One person did fall. I’d look for a way to put a railing on that corner.

To say you knocked it out of the park would be an understatement, a great transformation!

Very nice. I do agree on stair comment. Maybe some pots with plants to visually cue folks so they don’t accidentally fall.

Amazing transformation! The slabs are beautiful, and the plants around soften up the entire area. I also like the random pattern in the slats behind the BBQ. Nicely done!
