Entertaining Back Yard Landscape Plan

• This back yard landscape has a number of “rooms” for entertaining – a dining area with outdoor kitchen, a raised deck with benches, a lawn area with fire pit, and a private courtyard off the master bedroom with an arbor and raised planters.
• Ground surfaces include decomposed granite and flagstone set in sand for permeability with ornamental grasses and Thyme planted within some of the joints.
• Shade trees and low-water use plants are used throughout the landscape.
