Modern Backyard Landscape

People often exasperate themselves trying to figure out what to do with a small backyard space like this one in Bryn Mawr, PA–and we don’t blame them! To the untrained eye, it can be difficult to see a neglected, overgrown or oddly-shaped piece of land for its full potential. But working primarily within the quaint, historic neighborhoods of Philadelphia’s Main Line suburbs like we do, designing and building functional landscapes in small backyards quickly becomes second nature. So when this client came to us asking to turn a compact, crowded space behind their home into a Japanese-inspired garden and entertainment space, our resident landscape architect, Gary Westlake, was up to the task.
