The homeowners, parents with two young children, desired a backyard oasis where they could entertain with large groups of family and friends. With the backyard being very steep and up against a conservation easement, we had a narrow space in which we were able to create the landscape design.

We designed and installed a multi-tiered backyard that offered multiple outdoor living spaces, namely: a swimming pool patio/pavilion platform, lawn terrace, and an upper deck. The swimming pool features three waterfalls and two dive rocks surrounding a “C”-shaped underwater bench.

The pavilion platform has the effect of being a treehouse with open walls and being 15’ above the forest floor. In addition, the pavilion features a grand masonry fireplace. The upper deck features an outdoor kitchen.
