Outdoor Oasis: Private Getaway With Pergola

Though situated in the suburbs, this backyard uses a high fence, thick bamboo screening and other plants to achieve the feeling of a private getaway. A large wood pergola brings up the far end of the yard, with a built-in bench and fire pit for entertaining friends. The space also includes a simple outdoor kitchen and dining area.
