The Donohoo’s, with their growing family, wanted to create an outdoor living space with multiple aspects including garden boxes, kids play area, lawn space, and entertaining space. In a previous home they did their landscaping project without an experienced professional. In this ‘forever home’, the back yard was relatively small and had a large slope from east to west, making it difficult to make room for all of the aspects they wanted, while keeping the outdoor living space private, open, and low-maintenance.
