Backyard landscape


Some people are blessed with large yards, natural rock, and were lucky enough to find a landscape contractor like Naturescape, whose designers had enough foresight to have the manufacturer custom blend the stone to match the natural rock in the landscape.

In this scenario, the owner entrusted us to create a landscape based off budgetary guidelines per item ( Barbecue, Retaining wall, Brick pavers, Spa) and stage it where we could fit it in. We installed the work you see before you with no plan, because we knew taking the time to design one would be a waste of time, not knowing where the rocks you see were located beneath the dirt.

We brought our tractor to the site and began cutting dirt away from the slope until we hit rock.

After we exposed a significant amount of rock, we then jetted the rest away with a high pressure water hose until we were down to the sub-grade we needed to be at.
We let the pad sit over the weekend to dry, and allowed the owners to see what room we have available to place their ideal backyard landscape. Once we knew where each item in the backyard was going to go, we began installing the infrastructure, such as drains, electric, and gas.

The barbecue, spa, retaining walls and stairs were then created, and we planted Flower Carpet Roses over the wall to dazzle the eye with rich, vibrant color. This backyard landscape and the owners were incredible to work with, and to date, this project was one of the most fun we have ever done by using the techniques we had used.
