A work in progress
My backyard has been a slow work in progress (and a source of great enjoyment) for the past 19 years but the patio is just too small. A do-it-yourself pond which is now beyond repair takes up valuable space. The pond needs to be moved and one day rebuilt correctly. I lack the vision to pull together a backyard plan to include all the things I love like entertaining, grilling, gardening, landscaping, etc. With a new cedar fence (thanks to Mother Nature) the yard is like a blank canvas and has the potential to be a thing of beauty. It needs a new patio design as a focal point that will anchor all the other future backyard projects like a new pond, flower beds, raised gardening beds, etc. I am the sole proprietor of my backyard haven and look forward to working on projects for years to come. My wish list for my future patio would include a patio set, swing, grill and fire pit. I will supply the flowers, friends and wine.

From the experts
To make space more inviting we recommend a nice chat grouping. You can drink wine around the fire pit and wind down with a rectangular fire pit by Castelle Pride Family Brands.
You can enjoy this chat group with friends even when the fire is not running and turn it into a table for eating off of.
