Backyard Bliss

Stokes Valley, Wellington

2022

This Stokes Valley property, one of our early 2022 projects, came with the challenge of a steep and difficult section beside the house. We used the natural lay of the land to guide the design, building a new deck, retaining wall, planter boxes, fencing, and screens around a spa area. Paving and stairs were added to connect the upper levels, while the lower area was redefined with Firth keystone blocks, fresh planting, and a new artificial lawn. What was once an overgrown, unusable site has been transformed into a relaxed, multi-functional outdoor space.
