Understanding the Vision

The first step in this transformation was a consultation with the Johnsons to understand their vision and requirements. The family wanted a backyard that could serve multiple purposes: a relaxing retreat, a functional space for family gatherings, and an area for gardening enthusiasts. Absolute Sky Blue listened carefully to these needs, ensuring every detail was considered.

Key elements included a spacious patio, lush greenery, and a water feature to add tranquility. The team also needed to address issues such as poor soil quality and inadequate drainage, which had previously hindered the backyard's usability.

Once the vision was clear, Absolute Sky Blue set to work designing a blueprint that would bring the Johnsons' dream backyard to life. The plan included:

  • A custom-designed patio with ample seating space.
  • A variety of drought-resistant plants to enhance sustainability.
  • A captivating water feature as the focal point of the garden.
