Its always a pleasure to return to your projects (post construction) and see them looking good. This is a Logan (area) project and a fun backyard remodel design. I really enjoyed working with the clients on the design and seeing the project built. Prior to the remodel the backyard had a 20 year + dilapidated deck, brick patio and grass. The design features a two level stamped and colored concrete patio which is large enough for two good size outdoor dining tables, small planter bed, pots (on drip irrigation) and a grill. Other features of the design include flagstone patio with lemon thyme ground cover (side yard), flagstone pathway with lemon thyme ground cover, small retaining block wall, garden boxes and new planting beds. One reminder lesson is that often colored and stamped concrete patio will require some touch up maintenance on the surface. A colored and stamped concrete patio requires sealing and maintenance (touching up the surface) to keep looking good. The interior stamp pattern was ashler and the band stamp pattern was slate.
In this case we started with smaller plants for the grasses and perennials, but they've matured to full size in less than 1 year. The owner has done a great job in maintaining the landscape.
