Back and side yards rebuilt as one outdoor space
2020
Completed
The back and side yards had stopped being usable. They were cleared right back to bare ground, then rebuilt as a single outdoor space with a paver walkway running through it.
What the site was doing
The side yard had been given over to an air conditioning unit, loose gravel and a run of bare dirt between two walls. There was nothing to walk on and nothing worth looking at, so the whole strip had become the part of the garden nobody used.
What we did
The ground was cleared and levelled, then a brick paver path was laid from the patio through to the gate. Triple foxtail palms were set along the run to give the walls some height, with bougainvillea planted underneath for colour against the white stucco.
Hardscapes offer a ton of benefits while contributing to the aesthetics and accessibility of your property. We excel at installing driveways, pool decks, stone paths, brick paver patios, and more.
How it stands now
The path connects the back and side yards into one space, and the planting is dense enough that the walls read as a garden edge rather than a boundary.



“Sarasota Landscaping Inc did a complete transformation of our back and side yards. With Craig running the show, his great crew took us from a messy ugly jungle to a pleasant outdoor space, including a paver walkway and patio. Craig was courteous and professional.”
