As spring begins to make its grand entrance and leisure time is no longer spent wrapped in layers on the sofa, the appearance of your home’s outside becomes just as important as its inside. If your grass is still dull and your deck is covered in tarps, we have two Valley landscapes that will encourage you to pick up that rake, paintbrush or flowerpot. From pools to hot tubs and garages, let these local spaces be all the motivation you need.
Multi-Level Outdoor Living in Center Valley
This expansive, elevated deck was designed for the family to have a designated space to entertain friends and loved ones, and enjoy some personal relaxation. The deck was designed using a warm Brazilian Cumaru hardwood, complete with dry under-deck storage. In an effort to keep the deck cohesive with the stone in the front of the house,an added hand-chiseled, stone-raised planter wasdesigned as the space’s focal point. Below it, a permeable paver patio was installed around the custom swimming pool, with family fun in mind. The hardwood decking made a reappearance around the spa. The custom-made pergola and structural lighting tie it all together exquisitely and create a tranquil vacation al fresco feel.
