Backyard Paradise With Asian Simplicity

The impractical lawn and outdated fence have been turned into a functional family space surrounding a beautifully updated pool. The larger, elevated spa and elevated deck feature cascading waterfalls, and a shallow area of the pool comes with an underwater sleeve to hold an umbrella for added shade. New trees, like Japanese maple, are planted around the perimeter of the yard, and the expanded decking offers a lot more room to sit and gaze at the fire.
