Before & After

From a tired concrete slab to a backyard built for fall nights.

Before. Aerial view of the original North Wilmington back yard: a small weathered concrete patio sits behind the home with a low stockade fence ringing the yard, a small fire pit, and a mix of mismatched lawn chairs and a folding table on the slab

After. Aerial view of the same North Wilmington back yard rebuilt: a new gray paver patio with curved wicker sectional, a stand-alone fieldstone outdoor fireplace at one end, a natural cedar pergola against the home, lattice privacy screens flanking the fireplace, and the old stockade fence removed in favor of an open lawn
