With Gasper’s Help Couple Transforms Backyard from Self-described “Mud Pit” to Outdoor Living Perfected
Empty nesters Kathy and Dan H. had to decide whether to move to a 55+ Retirement Community or renovate their grown kids’ home. They chose to renovate and sought Gasper’s help to turn their muddy backyard into a space where they could enjoy quality time together.
Dining
The new curvilinear paver patio has three areas for conversation, a hot tub, and dining. Gasper designers worked around mature trees for a natural feel.
Seating
The seating area of the patio is a space that Kathy and Dan use almost every evening to relax and reconnect with each other.
The Hot Tub
The Fountain
Gasper installed a homeowner-provided tiered fountain in the yard. The fountain is positioned to be viewed from the new patio as well as from the house, through the large family room windows. The cast stone fountain, as well as other styles of fountains, are available for purchase at Gasper Home and Garden Center.
Challenging Drainage
To manage stormwater drainage in the backyard, Gasper built a decorative retaining wall that raises the patio’s grade and directs water away from the house. The wall also serves as a beautiful seat wall and defines the edge of the patio.
