For the Family Entertaining design, a white, bright pergola and extended porch makes the entrance to the home more inviting.  Smooth transition of spaces, with accents of warm red brick in the paving, make this the perfect backyard for entertaining guests. The gate along the garage was designed with the same style as the pergola in the backyard.  These design features, along with a soft plant palette used in the front and backyards, provide continuity throughout the entire landscape.  A fun stepping path for kids was created using a cross section of a stump.  A firepit was constructed for entertaining guests and Friday night s’mores with the family.
