It got rave reviews from all of their friends...but then if it looked bad, I don't think they would have said so. ha! I also liked the selection of greenery. And the look out to the public park is as dramatic as the seating areas are serene.Eastmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-65637255769480246892009-06-29T14:10:43.269-05:002009-06-29T14:10:43.269-05:00Yeah, Steve is actually a professional so they sho...Yeah, Steve is actually a professional so they should look good. The bbq area is adjacent to the driveway, on the other side of the fence, near the kitchen. The second area is for the kids to have their own patio. Most of the layout is a result of the needs of the owner and their somewhat challenged landscape and yardkeeping skills. If it were for someone that knew how to tend things, there might be different plant choices. Everything is native and should fill-in with little or no tending. The yard opens to a large public park in the back (we should all be so lucky) so having open-ness and play areas within this space is not much of an issue at all.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809676214189088361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24918161.post-36441137970543988912009-06-29T13:36:50.762-05:002009-06-29T13:36:50.762-05:00The finished job looks very professional from the ...The finished job looks very professional from the photos. Whomever did the SketchUp needs to do it as a business! Looks awesome! Very pro looking to me. Ive spent a little time with it, and cant do much more than the basic boxes.<br /><br />One question though... Why the two separate seating areas? One for the mother in law? :) J/K of course! I would make on of them a BBQ area at least.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of the 3-5 foot surround next to the fences. Both of my brothers have homes and they removed that unused space and tore out the bushes and their backyards look much bigger now. If this was my backyard I would at least plant fruit trees and berries alongside the fencing, so you at least get something in return for the unused space. <br /><br />My house and yard arent very big, so for me Im trying to maximize every square foot possible.jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528926838891372189noreply@blogger.com
