South Beach Staycation
Optimized views of surrounding greenspace
Pool Patios & Water Features · February 27, 2018
Before
This full property landscape design and build presented Pro-Land with the opportunity to creatively work with existing grades, while considering the restrictions of an abutting conservation authority. Keeping this in mind we were able to optimize the views of the greenery around the property, while creating a functional outdoor entertainment area.
The Challenge
- Conservation authority restrictions and permits
- Significant grade changes from the front yard to the backyard
- Design of the custom cabana, pergola and shed
- Maintaining significant sod areas without sacrificing necessary entertaining space
- Maintaining views of the green space surrounding, while still creating privacy from the conservation public trails
Design
The client wanted a classic design for the front; flagstone walkways to tie in with the colors from the house and an entry wall frames the front door. The goal in the backyard was to create various areas for entertaining, without sacrificing play spaces for their children – the size of the property made accommodating their wishes fairly easy. A sports court, pool with water feature, cabana, and outdoor kitchen ensure these homeowners don’t have to go far for their next vacation.
