Before
This enclosed area behind a middle unit in a townhouse had a small area of bricks improperly set in sand, ivy growing over the fence and no plants at all. The client wanted to use the space for flower and vegetable gardening as well as for entertaining small groups and just being outside after a day\'s work.
After
A new brick patio that spanned most of the width of the yard provided level space for tables and chairs, and containers for plants. A pergola with shade cloth reduced the reflective heat from the patio outside and inside. The back third of the yard was planted with flowering fruit trees, roses, iris, and other perennials.
