WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAID ABOUT THIS PROJECT:
“They absolutely transformed our unusable space into a beautiful environment that I now call my happy place.”
This was not just a landscape upgrade. It was a complete reworking of how the space could be used.
The existing grade limited usable space and restricted how the backyard could be used on a daily basis. The goal was to create a structured layout with defined zones, improved accessibility, and long-term usability.
Each element of the design focused on balancing structure, durability, and clean visual organization, resulting in a cohesive outdoor environment.
A Functional Outdoor Vision
This project was designed to transform a sloped, underutilized backyard into a safe and functional outdoor living space for a growing family.
Before
After
The DESIGN-BUILD
APPROACH
This project was executed as a full demolition, regrading, and design-build landscape transformation.
Through grading, armour stone retaining walls, and a fully integrated interlock patio system, the property was reconfigured to maximize usable space while maintaining proper drainage and structural integrity.
challenges
Tiered stone retaining wall systems with tiered armour were installed to manage grade changes and define outdoor living zones.
Each retaining wall system was constructed with proper base preparation and drainage to ensure long-term performance.
design
The interlock patio installation was completed using herringbone and running bond patterns.
This reinforced the layout structure and visual consistency throughout the space.
EXPERIENCE
Armour stone step transitions were integrated within the retaining wall system to provide safe and functional access between elevations.
The project was completed with final grading, lawn installation, and planting integration, resulting in a fully functional outdoor living environment.

“We hired Scenic Stone Landscape & Design Inc. for a complete makeover of our backyard and front yard...
This was an underutilized space that my clients never enjoyed using. It was not well planned and had issues with drainage and functionality.
We removed the existing landscape and built it correctly with a functional design.
Our clients now have a space they love to use and entertain in. It went from the part they hated most about the home to the part they love the most!
