Multi Level Backyard With Louvered Pergola

A multi-level approach made this sloped backyard much easier to enjoy. An outdoor kitchen, dining area, pool and lounge are subtly separated by retaining walls. The top patio is shaded by a louvered pergola that can open and close as the weather requires.

Swimming Pool With White Lounge Chairs

Like the rest of this backyard, the pool has multiple dimensions, too. One end is dedicated to lounging with a raised platform and slightly submerged chairs. Fountains spout all along the back wall. And there's even a swim-up table for resting cocktails.

Terraced Backyard With Fire Table

This backyard was once steeply sloped and, as such, was hard to use. Careful landscape design reconfigured it into three separate levels: one for cooking and dining, one for swimming and one, with a fire pit, for lounging.
