Backyard Design Elements/Ideas

Like the stonework and floor

Q

I like this patio flooring as long as it doesn't present a trip hazard element. Not sure if that's possible with this type of stone.

Q

**More for my own notes and to get an idea of style, I'll probably do something similar similar type design in the creek relating to the stone. Perhaps not so chunky/stacked on the side walls, doesn't really occur like that in nature. I like the creek bed though. Not necessarily convinced on the hastas, prefer less of a "landscaped" look and to feel like you just discovered this hidden creek.

Q

Not sure if this could be incorporated in the yard and stay in scope, but I like the way the rocks compliment the change in grading.

Q

**Again, more for my own notes and to get an idea of design style. As it relates to the pool, this looks great. The elements I like: -Unique waterfall feature -Pool Deck -The Japanese Maple (or similar mood) bordering the pool adds a relaxation element. -The corner stairs in the pool -Natural privacy I can almost envision this pool at an angle in the upper yard , entering the stairs from the south east end of the pool. The natural privacy is sufficient, not over done. The japanese maple would lend well leading into the slope going down to the lower part of yard into the patio/cooking area (with some creative touch to transition the top to the bottom).

Q

This rail top makes a lot of sense to me in regards to functionality. Some stools or elevated chairs would maximize this space. Wouldn't want to sacrifice any an attractive design for this, but if it could be incorporated it would be ideal.

Q

This is the ideal mood I would like to have flowing from the patio to the hill. Would like refrain cookie cutter style landscaping and mimic nature as much as possible.
