After a new home purchase this backyard needed an update. Replacing the old concrete patio with an ipe wood deck instantly warmed the space and made it more inviting. A fresh lawn now has a gravel drainage pit underneath allowing water from the adjacent planters and down spouts to naturally percolate back into the ground. Raised wood vegetable beds and low water plantings with a drip system make the yard complete.
