This could match existing red bullnose stones throughout the existing porch and existing rock walls. This approach would save a lot of money if I chose to match the cream+tan and grey+charcoal stones already present in the rock walls. I confirmed I could find pavers at Calstone that will match close enough to what's already there.
Steps and stones are what I'd like to see for the stairwell that leads from the lower lawn to the upper lawn area. Would really like to replace the existing walls with a dry stack wall such as this. Then the fountain would use the same stone, and there would be no tie-in issues to try to resolve. This would be awesome!
Patio stone and layout very nice! Large and simple, which reduces the business that can occur with smaller patterns.
Hydrangea, nice! Need to make sure we preserve what we have and add more if possible.
Firepit well done. Could do something similar toward the left rear of lower yard. Existing wall could be R&R with new seating. Alternatively, could go with a fireplace instead.
Plant varieties very nice!
Tulips are awesome! These are must have elements along the side yard to add profusion of color in the summer. Need to find a way to deer proof them. Thinking about permanent and transparent netting along the garage wall.
Glads are awesome! These are must have elements along the side yard to add profusion of color in the summer. Need to find a way to deer proof them. Thinking about permanent and transparent netting along the garage wall.
Solves the BBQ placement issues by placing this next to the house. Follows the Mediterranean style of our house. Could locate between family room and guest room french doors along the side of the house. L, C or Z shaped counter area with short leg used for grill along the side of the house.
Dogwood tree. This tree is a must have somewhere in the backyard. Possible locations: 1) Replace existing potato tree with Dogwood. 2) Under existing Oak trees in upper lawn left. 3) Old 100 Yr Oak tree location if Fountain moves to upper lawn left or that project gets cancelled.
Paver patterns very nice.
Fireplace. Teak furniture. Nice seat wall. Could be another element located in the left lower lawn area.
Stately, clean, elegant.
Bougainvillea and what is this purple flower? Bougainvillea is a must have somewhere in the backyard. Need to establish a growing area for it, across fireplace or create new separate arbor in upper left lawn area.
Awesome color profusion.
Herringbone pavers with large boarder stones. Could use this style for new driveway / walkway along garage.
Awesome color profusion.
Stately,clean, symmetry.
Hydrangea, nice!
Stately and lush. Good variations of green colors.
Plant selection and symmetry is nice!

Wrought iron gate handle. Simple statement.
