Creative Family Backyard

Lisa and George have a large lot that they aren't using to its full potential. They want to open up the backyard, allowing more room around the patio and play area. The new design, by landscape designer Sylvia Holler, calls for the removal of the timber retaining wall, to be replaced by an elegant stack stone wall that's pushed back from the patio. In front of this new wall, she has placed a natural-shaped pond, to be fed by whimsical frog fountains.
