hat started as an outdoor lighting project for these Beaverton, Oregon,
homeowners soon became a backyard transformation after they met with Lewis
Landscape Services. "We noticed the clients had this nice area in their yard where a paver patio
had been installed previously, but the work hadn't really been done well," says Jim Lewis, owner of Lewis
Landscape Services. "I mentioned if they ever wanted to redo that area, please give us a call. I got them
excited about some of the things we could do down in this area and just planted a seed."
A month later, the clients were meeting with Lewis's designer to talk about a complete outdoor liv-
ing space with a fi re pit, seating area, water feature, rabbit-proof garden, improved safety, plantings and
lighting. The seat walls and fi re pit were done with cultured stone to complement the front of the house,
and the stone masons also created custom faux-stone, chiseled concrete caps. They added LED Kichler
hardscape lights underneath the caps. For the patio, they used about 900
square feet of Capriana pavers from Pavestone, and they
installed charcoal-colored bullnose pavers for the steps.
After completing the hardscape phase, they
added a stained fence with a custom gate, which
covered the wire fencing, around the garden
area to keep rabbits away. The team also in-
stalled a three-rock column bubbler fountain,
plants and more LED lights.
"Our clients ended up fi nally having the area
they dreamed of and have been enjoying it all
summer," Lewis says.
