In this multi-tiered backyard, the big draw at the bottom is the massive fireplace. Fire features can be as small or as grand as you want to make them, and these homeowners went with a pretty remarkable one. Spending a night with a roaring fire in this backyard would be the ideal cap to any day.

Water features can be as big as your imagination. The one in this backyard winds down and around the entire backyard, making it feel like the backyard was created around a natural stream. In the front and back, more modern and abstract fountains were placed among the landscaping.They are impressive water features that blend perfectly with the look and feel of the yard.

Retaining walls are the unsung heroes of nearly every outdoor living space. The different tiers of landscaping are only possible because of the retaining walls, and with the right stone, they can blend right in with the decoration.

Even in the city you can create a space for the nature lover. This backyard started with a grand fireplace, free-standing walls and flagstone-style pavers and then artfully blended them with an impressive waterfall, trees and rocks to create a sanctuary in the city with all the creature comforts.  Stone steps lead you through a multi-tiered backyard which astonishes and delights your senses at every turn.
