Pergola with terraced back yard

This was a very small yard sandwiched between the house and a cross tie retaining wall. We designed and installed a pool, hot tub, waterfall on one end, and a fireplace, pergola and outdoor kitchen on the other. The client wanted a tropical looking landscape, so we installed Japanese Maples and Windmill Palms. We hid the cross tie wall using a mix of vertical plantings like Emerald Green Arborvitae and vines like Creeping Fig and Boston Ivy. Mark Schisler, Legacy Landscapes, Inc.
