Sean and Allison have taken great care in updating their 1912 home to give it a modern vibe, but the backyard still feels old and boring. Landscape designer Matt Olson comes to the rescue bringing modern clean lines and rich colors to the yard. The formerly empty yard has a relaxation area equipped with a fire pit, a beautiful red cedar bar perfect for entertaining and a modern grid design for the patio.
