Updating the backyard space. #landscapedesign #paverpatio

What happens here

The design significantly upgrades the transition from the house's sliding door to the patio. The old, simple landing is replaced with a more elaborate, tiered set of curved steps. These steps are constructed with integrated planter walls or low retaining walls, matching the aesthetic of the patio itself. This creates a grander, more inviting entrance and exit point, enhancing both functionality and curb appeal.

Goal: Replace the existing simple landing with an architecturally enhanced tiered step system.
