It’s not the size of the yard that’s important, but how you enjoy it! Our Long Island landscape design clients in Port Washington, NY wanted every aspect of a modern resort oasis—everything from a large second-story deck and custom vinyl swimming pool to a gas firepit and torches.

This contemporary 3D landscape design has every bell and whistle for year-round enjoyment. Every square foot of their property is used to maximize functional space and enjoyment.

Objectives

• Create a 3D modern contemporary backyard
• Incorporate beach pebble wallstone and beach-toned decking that remind them of their favorite vacation destination
• Provide an outdoor bar with a TV and shade from the hot summer days
• Custom pool that fits with the yard and functions well with outdoor furniture placement
• Illuminate the yard with torches for ambient mood setting and a fire pit for spring and fall enjoyment
• Second-story deck and pergola to add character, shade when needed, and privacy curtains to keep close neighbors out of sight

• Extremely long wish list in a confined space
• Large list of materials and finishes selected to make the space feel warm yet modern
• Creating both usable space and picture-frame views from inside the house
