This project began with a request to address drainage issues in the rear yard and enlarge an existing screened porch. As the work progressed, the scope expanded to include a fully renovated breezeway entrance off the driveway, an updated porch with a rebuilt fireplace, a new pool deck, a retaining wall with steps to the upper lawn, and vibrant plantings throughout the property.
The screened porch was enlarged and revitalized with a full stone veneer over the existing brick fireplace, giving it a fresh and elegant look. Retractable screens were installed, allowing the space to be adaptable for year-round use. To resolve drainage challenges, we constructed a stone retaining wall, installed an extensive French drain system, and introduced a single step up into the porch. A flagstone band was added to accentuate the step and provide a visual cue to prevent trips or falls. The result is a seamlessly integrated and highly functional outdoor living area.
