The Patio
Don’t underestimate the therapeutic value of gardening. It’s the one area where we can all use our nascent creative talents to make a truly satisfying work of art. Every individual, with thought, patience and a large portion of help from nature, has it in them to create their own private paradise: truly a thing of beauty and a joy for ever.”

Before
As you can see from the pictures above, a lot of work was needed. We pulled out the decking, pulled up the grass, had the yard leveled and installed black star gravel. We wanted a bright color to bring emphasis to the pergola so we chose Confident Yellow [by Sherwin Williams]. The yellow pairs well with the patio furniture and the throw pillows match the wall clock. We used black reflective glass for the fire pit and adding the fountain was the finishing touch.
