Yard Crashers 8

The San Francisco Treat (2012)

This large backyard was a weed-filled, useless space. The homeowners wanted a place to play while they entertain. So we gave them a regulation size Bocce Ball court bookended with custom made redwood benches. In the center of the yard, they got a pond-less water feature. And a grill station sits atop a new hardscape made of interlocking pavers.

Boston Backyard Theatre (2012)

A Boston couple, who are big sports fans, get an outdoor theater for year round sports viewing parties. A previously bare backyard yard gets a new hardscape, seating wall and a fire feature made of stone. And a shade sail over a new grill along with a custom made table.

Upcycling the Backyard Space

An empty, neglected yard gets an upcycling makeover by Matt Blashaw and his crew. They repurpose used materials to create a privacy wall and concrete pathway. Old metal pipes are used as planters and antique looking window frames are created to add visual interest to an otherwise boring fence next to a Bocce ball court.
