Full Backyard Transformation
A complete backyard rebuild — from bare, uneven ground to a finished outdoor space with hardscape surface, defined beds, and restored turf.
Scope of work
- Clearing and rough grading of the existing yard
- Hardscape surface installation
- Bed shaping, edging, and planting
- Finish grading and turf restoration
Materials used
- Pavers
- Compacted base aggregate
- Edging
- Topsoil, mulch and plantings
The challenge
The starting yard had no defined grade, no usable surface, and no separation between lawn and planting areas, so nothing drained or held its shape.
What we did
We established grade first, then built the hardscape surface on a compacted base, cut and edged the beds to the design, and restored turf around the finished areas so everything ties together at one level.
The result
A backyard that went from unusable ground to a finished, drained, and maintainable outdoor space — shown in the before and after below.
