From Steep Slope to Timeless Sanctuary
When the Atlanta area family reached out, they faced a common challenge — a steep, sloped backyard that wasn’t just unusable, it was a source of frustration. Poor drainage, no flat areas for gathering, and no visual flow between spaces meant their property’s potential was literally running downhill.
That all changed when an architect we often collaborate with brought us in to help transform the space. What started as a challenging grade problem became a canvas for creativity, craftsmanship, and a bit of old-world charm.
Design Vision: European Elegance Meets Outdoor Functionality
The homeowner’s vision was clear: they wanted a backyard that felt luxurious yet welcoming — a destination for entertaining, relaxing, and reconnecting with friends and family. They were drawn to the timeless feel of Italian and Greek gardens — spaces that balance structure with softness, and craftsmanship with comfort.
Our design implementation brought this to life through:
The Result: A Multi-Destination Outdoor Experience
The new landscape flows effortlessly from one destination to another — dining under a covered patio, relaxing by the fire pit, listening to the soft sound of the brick fountain, or strolling through a European-inspired garden. The lighting design highlights every curve and texture, making the space just as magical at night as it is during the day.
What was once a steep, unusable hillside is now a layered experience — equal parts luxury, comfort, and timeless beauty.
