The Problem

The homeowner faced a significant challenge with a backyard that had a large drop in elevation, making the space underutilized and difficult to landscape. They wanted to create additional planting areas and maximize the utility of the backyard while maintaining a cohesive look with the existing aesthetic of the house. Additionally, the homeowner desired a functional vegetable garden that would blend seamlessly with the natural beauty of their property. Safety was also a major concern, as the homeowner wanted to ensure a secure environment for her grandchildren to play in, despite the steep terrain and elevation changes. This required a solution that balanced functionality, safety, and aesthetic harmony.
