My clients wanted to transform their small yard into a lawn-free oasis for spending time relaxing outdoors.  They wanted an outdoor dining area, fire pit, shed, and raised garden bed area for veggies. Parts of the fence had fallen in and needed to be replaced.  Another challenge was the old cement slab left over from a long gone garage was under the metal pergola and uneven flagstones. The clients also had beautiful, old Lilacs that lined the back fence.  We pruned them up a bit and underplanted them with ferns and early spring bloomers.
