Develop a Multi-functional Layout with Hardscaping Zones (Option 1: Grey/Dark)

What happens here

Design distinct activity zones within the backyard, strategically using varied hardscaping materials and patterns to visually separate each area while ensuring a smooth, accessible flow throughout the space. The first design option demonstrates a grey and dark color scheme for pavers, with different patterns defining the fire pit area, the main patio under the pergola, and connecting walkways. This multi-textured approach adds architectural detail and prevents a monolithic look.

Goal: Lay out functional areas and select hardscaping for an integrated design.
