Shorewood Hills Project

 

Overview

A complete backyard makeover, this project had it all.  During a home remodel, the goal was to improve and increase the usable space in the back yard to go along with all the home updates. This project involved lots of challenges, including very limited access and a lot of elevation changes to navigate.  Mission accomplished.

Project Highlights

Sunken Patio with Gas Fire

Acer installed a main sunken patio space out of the lower level, with a nice gas fire feature.

Curving Steps with Tiered Landings

Curved steps exit the space to lead up to a lawn space. Next, more steps and a tiered wall lead up to a second patio space, this one with a wood burning fire pit.  

Downcast LED Lighting

The entire project is lit up at night with low voltage LED lighting, everything set with GPS timers and also controllable via phone app.
