Awbrey Park Bocce Court and Stream Bend, Or

We fit it all in this backyard! The super fun and dare I say, very competitive homeowners wanted a regulation size bocce court, a babbling brook water feature, small sitting area with a bench (the bench is from Red Rocks stadium!!!), a path, an area to store their garbage cans and they wanted to be able to view their yard from their existing deck.  

The original yard was a site with a deep slope that was filled with weeds and water consuming trees.  With careful planning and imagination, we took what was an unusable yard to a yard with ample places to enjoy!

The homeowners playing on their new bocce court with the stream, bridge and small patio off to the right in their fun and exceptional yard.

 What a glorious fall day to play bocce.

A delightful stream that sounds like a gentle babbling brook.

The head of the stream and the flagstone patio.  Note the small bench is an original bench from Red Rocks Music Coliseum in Colorado.

Looking back towards the house.  The deck had three large, water guzzling trees and stopped the homeowners from looking out or going down into their yard.  The once unusable space is now usable and entertaining.

The decomposed granite stepping stone pathway, stream, bocce court and much more!

Even small spaces can have a big impact!
