PLEASE HELP WITH OUR BACKYARD.... We recently removed the grass and desperately need some ideas now, we love to barbeque and entertain a lot, love our water feature, but hate that fence and need some seating area ideas, and plantings and patio ideas.

    To continue what others said - think of your ideal functions and enjoyments: for instance, what do you like to enjoy while barbecuing/eating? and how many? under shade?

    As opposed to where might you like to sit away from that area, maybe to read or look at a view... do any children play in the yard?

    Then we'd like to know during or after what size patio you want, etc.. etc...concentric circle coming out from a patio could be soft material for bare feet. [Paver/bricks for furniture and correct distance, the soft rubber or whatever.]

      Tree or a structure to shield neighbors and you viewing each other too much?

      A bench or such to look at faraway mountains / possibly with fountain placed within that view.

      Do you have more of tree's rosy terra cotta brick?

      I would start by getting some vines growing on those fences, and plant a couple of good shade trees. If you purchase some Pavers you can start putting down a large patio and a path that leads from your to home to near your water feature. Also, I would set aside an area, out of the view of the main house, for planting a vegetable garden.

      What area of the country do you live in? If it is more Southwestern (you have a fountain that goes with that area), then I would take a look (online or at newstand) at the latest Sunset. They have a marvelous backyard that is pea gravel with raised beds of greens throughout. They did a reclining bench that is a focal point of the yard and the whole thing is stunning! I do agree with Susan however: come up with something to cover that chain link fence, or if possible, remove it!

      Hi there, and Thank you so much for your kind response. Currently we have outdoor furniture but it was sitting on grass and we now need to do a patio of some sort. I like pavers, so what you are suggesting looks good. Thank you!

      Thanks for letting me participate a bit! Good 'luck'!

      Photos above showed they played with overlapping/ disjointed materials - as though laying one rug over a larger one.

      I could see a path like that in soft material to walk out to a fountain bench or two/ maybe semi-circular to 'fit' conform to it....

      My glider really only works on hard surface, and didn't in mulch...
