Before and after images of access to the back yard. The before image shows an old garage from the 1920s or 1930s and a dilapidated deck. Asphalt covers the ground between the two to the property line and access to the back yard and deck are narrow and cramped. In the after image, the garage has been renovated into a cabana, and a new deck with tiered wedding-cake steps opens up access and views to the back yard. The asphalt has been replaced with an irregular flagstone patio. Seams between stones were intentionally left wide to plant with mosses and low perennials.
