A steep yard became an opportunity to create a landscape with structure, purpose, and a clean modern finish. From the welcoming front entrance with built-in planters to the access steps leading into the backyard, each element was designed to connect the home to the outdoor spaces around it.

Barkman Architextures in Flint gives the retaining walls, steps, and planters a cohesive look, while Broadway pavers in Sterling add a crisp finish to the walkways and patio areas.

In the backyard, the extreme slope was transformed with a retaining wall hot tub pad, creating a usable space that feels intentional and grounded. A natural meadow softens the design and helps the landscape blend into its surrounding environment.
