New concrete and pebble patio in front yard, with Corten steel retaining wall, Seattle
This is a recent installation of one of my designs for a client in North Seattle, constructed by Greener Living Solutions. The client wanted space to hang out in the front yard for gathering, dining, and relaxing, so we designed a space just for that. Since its below street level, we included a Corten steel retaining wall to help create a level area for the new patio. The retaining wall ends up giving the space a nice sense of shelter and as the plants mature, it will be quite private. The patio materials are stained concrete and buff colored pebbles, and two benches will soon flank the concrete firepit. This picture was taken in the early evening, after we strung the Bistro lights. More description and pictures to come…
