When the sun goes down the fun is just beginning…if you have an exquisitely crafted backyard get-away like this one created by Groundscapes.  This is–without a doubt–an ideal backyard for those who live life to the fullest by living inside out.  The strategically placed fire feature presents an open invitation for a cozy conversation.  While the serene water feature lulls you past the cares of the day.

This backyard has a masterful collection of retaining walls that just look like another element of the landscaping. They really help smooth the elevation transitions.

In such a peaceful courtyard and fireplace area, you almost need tall water feature like this one. The dueling sounds of a crackling fire and rushing water makes this backyard the place to be.

Retaining and freestanding walls play together to give this backyard a courtyard that feels separate from the grass nearby, but open enough to still feel in tune with nature. The stone retaining walls give the landscaping a dynamic look with multiple levels.
