Winding Woods

Transforming a shallow suburban yard into a spacious retreat required creative thinking. With limited depth, a traditional layout wasn’t an option—but by angling the pool and deck at 45 degrees, we maximized space while creating a seamless, flowing design. This approach not only stretched the length of both features but also introduced lush planting areas, adding color and vibrancy to the landscape.

To enhance the space further, we incorporated a pergola with a retractable canopy, offering both shade and architectural interest. A raised mortared wall behind the lounge area serves as a striking backdrop, especially with the lush greeneryplanted behind it. These thoughtful elements create depth and dimension, making the space feel larger and more inviting.

The result? A beautifully functional backyard where every detail—from the angled layout to the layered textures—works together seamlessly. Whether lounging by the pool, enjoying the shade under the pergola, or taking in the lush surroundings, this backyard is a true sanctuary for relaxation and entertaining.
