Lush, green plants fill the home's backyard, which includes a garden, koi pond, outdoor sitting areas and a swimming pool.

What a peaceful place to enjoy some company. This outdoor design includes a small sitting area with rocking chairs and a fire pit. A koi pond runs directly beside the sitting space to contribute to the tranquil setting.

The client wanted to incorporate the feel of an Italian grotto fountain into the design. In this location, Harold Leidner Landscape Architects was able to take advantage of the natural grade change of the site and the finished grade of the house. The difference between these two grades allowed for a retaining wall to become the fountain wall.

A large stone slab serves as a bridge over the koi pond, which provides access to the outdoor sitting area and fire pit.
