Family Entertaining – Monroe

This family friendly backyard features a hidden movie screen that is built into the arbor which leads to the vegetable garden. The existing deck was modified to add a fireplace, new railings, and an outdoor grill area with serving counter with cabinet for storage. The new patio area connects the deck to the remainder of the yard and the seat wall is the perfect spot to watch a movie and enjoy a fire in their Solo Stove fire pit. Planters in the front yard line the new paver parking pad and frame the front entry. An access road to the back yard which extends through the lawn with a hidden lawn stabilizer system will connect to the future shop. We also addressed their drainage issues with a new dry stream to reroute water, hid their septic lids with various plantings, and added functionality with an extra outlet for the grill area.

Testimonial

Kryssie Maybay is a fantastic Landscape Architect. She has comprehensive knowledge in all aspects of creating outdoor living environments. From grading and drainage, hardscapes, decks, outdoor rooms, water features and pools, to planting and site amenities/furnishings, Kryssie is truly one of the most inventive and inspiring designers I have known. Besides her ability to work closely with her clients in creating their vision, Kryssie’s complete understanding of the constructability of the work makes her incredibly valuable to the installation team. In general, projects rarely go perfectly smooth, but Kryssie is able to minimize most problems on her projects because she maintains a huge commitment to collaboration within the team. Kryssie’s clients always get high quality landscaping projects with the best value.
