What happens here
A lower-level patio is designed, directly accessible from the deck. This patio features a circular fire pit area with integrated seating, creating a cozy gathering spot. Due to the significant slope of the backyard, a retaining wall is strategically incorporated, serving both a functional purpose (managing the grade change) and an aesthetic one (defining the patio space). Steps are also added to provide convenient access from a back door on the garage side of the house.
Goal: Develop a lower-level patio with a fire pit and a functional/aesthetic retaining wall.
