For Ralph
Interesting idea to have a sunken seating area in back yard, rather than (or maybe in addition to) an arbor? Maybe not hardscape, but compacted DG? I like the thought of turning the back corner of the yard into a comfy sitting area that has functionality. Pillows for seating; small tables to set glasses, plates, etc. We don't need another fire pit, but maybe a different feature as a focal point?
