Backyard oasis design with a fusion of settings and functions
The client wanted a water feature as a focal point with several areas to entertain and a smooth transition from the home’s interior to the yard with as little obstruction of her view as possible. This Backyard oasis design provides the solution, a fusion of settings and functions. The dining area is convenient to the kitchen. The barbeque is set back from the flow and topped with a pergola. A graceful step down leads to a park like tranquil paver patio area bordered by landscaping complete with a water feature fish pond. The large wide steps double as stadium seating for the numerous grandchildren that visit this beautiful yard. This paver area adds additional space for entertainment or relaxed additional seating. A hot tub setting concealed by a privacy wall balances out the design climaxing the far end of the project plan. Substructure built out in ACQ pine with all Zmax hardware on 12” & 16” X 42’’ deep footings. Average live load exceeds 80# per sq ft. All visible framing lumber is blacked out for better aesthetics. Dual fastener systems used on decking both hid-fast and screwed and plugged. Stair stringers are done 12” o.c.
