Assess Existing Backyard and Identify Problems

What happens here

The video begins by showcasing the existing backyard, highlighting a large, raised wooden deck. The presenter notes that wooden decks are considered 'out' and tend to separate the house from the yard due to their elevated nature and railings. The goal is to replace this deck with a more integrated, ground-level hardscape solution.

Goal: Understand the current state of the backyard and the limitations of the wooden deck.
