Challenge: Create More Entertainment Space and Fix a Drainage Problem

Every yard has the potential to be an outdoor paradise and Envision Lawn and Tree loves helping homeowners turn their outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional areas to enjoy year-round. Recently, Envision completed a stunning project for a family in Morningside, and the transformation is unbelievable.

A customer came to Envision with a significant problem: heavy rains caused water to drain from their gutters onto the driveway, which sloped towards the backyard. This unfortunate setup resulted in water pooling and seeping into the basement. Additionally, they had always wanted to transform their backyard into a more level and spacious area for entertaining guests.

In order to address these challenges, the Envision team put together a plan and undertook a comprehensive project that involved grading, drainage, a retaining wall, sod installation, a cedar fence, and a beautiful new patio.

The Process:

Regrading and Drainage:
The yard was regraded and built up to correct the slope, ensuring water flowed away from the foundation. This essential step prevents future water damage and basement flooding. A drainage system was also installed to manage water flow effectively.

Retaining Wall:
To further correct the slope and add more usable space to the backyard, Envision built a beautiful Rochester retaining wall. This wall supports the newly leveled yard and adds visual interest to the landscape.

Fresh Sod and Cedar Fence:
Envision laid down lush, green sod to give the once muddy backyard a fresh, inviting look, perfect for playing, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors. For safety, privacy, and a cozy feel, a beautiful cedar fence was installed. The natural wood adds warmth and character to the space.

Stunning Patio:
The new patio made with high-quality Belgard pavers is the highlight of this project. This elegant patio was custom-made to maximize the space and provides the perfect area for outdoor dining, and gatherings with family and friends.

This Brookside family couldn’t be happier with their new space.

Envision Lawn and Tree believes that no yard is too small for an incredible transformation.
