Hoover, Alabama
 
                     
  trail   A neglected backyard, overgrown with invasive privet and english ivy needed fresh ideas to be brought back to lively use and beauty.
The design combines the existing natural elements with patios, walls and trails, highlighting rock outcrops, mature native trees and the sloping terrain.
Native trees were carefully marked and preserved while removing the dense invasive thicket. Local flagstone matches the natural character of the design.
The result is a woodland yard with two patios nestled into the clearing near the residence. Views into the airy forest preserve of native trees below surprise with striking rock outcrops and invite to explore its trails.
