Potomac Backyard Makeover
Contemporary Patio, DC Metro
When we met our client, she had just purchased a beautiful estate in Potomac, Maryland but she did not like layout of her backyard. Initially, she contacted Great American to create a safe place for her kids to play. Eventually, the project scope expanded to design and install a welcoming area to entertain and spend relaxing weekends at home.
Our first project involved creating a level area for the playset using boulder walls and lush plantings. A couple of years later we returned to renovate the pool, wall, and porch and patio. The existing concrete porch needed to be demolished and replaced. We added a roof over the porch area with metal roofing, columns, recessed lighting and ceiling fans. The retaining wall was redone with a natural stone veneer, flagstone cap, and low-voltage lighting. The porch and pool deck were all covered with silver grey travertine with a flagstone border. We added metal railing above the wall for fall protection, and lush landscaping to make it inviting all season long.
