This backyard renovation was all about creating a functional and beautiful outdoor space tailored to the homeowner’s lifestyle. With a mix of new structures, premium materials, and meticulous design elements, we built a backyard that combines both aesthetics and convenience, reflecting the highest standards of Colorworks Landscaping.
Key Project Features
1. Utility Lines for Custom Features
To support the homeowner’s desired features, we ran all necessary utility lines, including:
- Gas line for a custom-built fire pit.
- Electrical line for an elegant water feature and pergola lighting. Ensuring proper utility setup is essential for any feature requiring energy sources, and we worked carefully to integrate these lines so that everything runs seamlessly.
2. Travertine Fire Pit and Water Feature with Copper Accents
Nothing adds ambiance like a fire pit and water feature. We installed a travertine water feature accented with copper details for a luxurious touch, bringing a calm, soothing sound to the yard. Complementing it, the travertine fire pit is designed as a cozy gathering spot, perfect for Arizona evenings. These elements work together to create a balance of warmth and tranquility.
3. New Steppers and Concrete Pavers for Extended Living Space
To increase usability, we installed concrete pavers that define various zones throughout the yard, including:
- Covered patio and extended patio
- BBQ pad for outdoor cooking
- Side patio and spa pad for relaxation
- Trash pad and walkway to the driveway for convenience These custom paver layouts not only maximize space but also guide foot traffic seamlessly through the backyard, creating distinct functional areas while maintaining a cohesive look.
4. 80 oz. Premium Turf for a Green, Low-Maintenance Lawn
For year-round green without the upkeep, we installed 80 oz. premium synthetic turf. This high-quality turf is both visually stunning and practical, providing a clean, lush lawn that’s perfect for family gatherings and pet-friendly play. Synthetic turf is a smart choice for Arizona’s desert climate, offering the beauty of natural grass without excessive watering or maintenance.
5. Drip Irrigation System
To keep the new plants and shrubs healthy, we installed an efficient drip irrigation system. This system conserves water by delivering it directly to the plant roots, perfect for Arizona’s climate. This ensures that the yard remains lush and vibrant while keeping water usage low.
6. LED Landscape Lighting for Evening Enjoyment
With a focus on safety and ambiance, we added LED lighting throughout the backyard. The soft glow of strategically placed lights accentuates the landscape’s features and illuminates pathways, allowing the homeowner to enjoy their beautiful outdoor space well into the evening.
7. New Plants for a Fresh, Vibrant Look
We selected a variety of plants that thrive in the Arizona climate, adding texture, color, and visual interest. With both flowering plants and hardy succulents, this landscape showcases the beauty of native Arizona flora, creating a low-maintenance yet visually dynamic outdoor environment.
8. Alumawood Lattice Pergola Connected to the House
To add shade and architectural interest, we installed an Alumawood lattice pergola connected to the house. This structure provides just the right amount of shade, making the patio area more comfortable for relaxation and dining. Made of durable materials, the pergola offers the classic look of wood without the high maintenance, giving the homeowners a lasting feature that enhances the aesthetic appeal of their backyard.
The Final Look
The end result is a cohesive, beautiful backyard that offers both functionality and elegance. With distinct zones for relaxation, dining, and entertainment, the homeowners now have an outdoor space that meets all their needs. From the soothing sounds of the water feature to the warmth of the fire pit and the lush, green lawn, this Peoria backyard is now a welcoming retreat for every season.
