What happens here

Implement pathways and transitions that create a seamless and inviting flow between the various zones and features of your backyard. The design utilized a 54-foot radius circular pathway of pavers that gracefully meanders all the way around the koi pond, connecting all the different intentional zones. This circular path not only links the areas but also encourages exploration, offering diverse perspectives of the pond and the overall landscape. It lends itself to a natural aesthetic, allowing movement to feel organic and unforced, and allowing enjoyment of every inch of the backyard.

Goal: Create logical and aesthetically pleasing connections between different backyard areas
