Beauty Out Back
September 24th, 2009A patio can have a sense of privacy even in a wide open space. We created a courtyard inspired patio area with low walls that provide ample additional seating. The built-in BBQ, a mainstay in a modern backyard, is a hub of activity as dinner time approaches. The greenery in the planters as well as the gardens, softens the space and makes guests feel comfortable.
