Transforming a Cleveland
Backyard into a Dream Oasis

When Adam and his family purchased their home in a master-planned community, they envisioned creating their dream backyard. With one acre of land and aspirations for a functional and beautiful outdoor space, they partnered with Green Impressions to bring their vision to life. Their journey resulted in a complete backyard transformation, with an in-ground pool, outdoor kitchen, and a design that feels as timeless as it is functional.

Client Background

When Adam and his wife first purchased their home, the property came with an 800-1,000 square foot patio and a fire pit. Yet, it lacked the functionality and aesthetic they desired. Their overarching goal was to create an outdoor space that was conducive to family activities and entertaining guests—all while offering a natural yet modern feel.

Challenges & Goals

Challenges:
  • The existing outdoor space required a complete teardown and rebuild.
  • The homeowners wanted a cohesive design without the “concrete jungle” look.
Goals:
  • Design an in-ground pool surrounded by lush, natural landscaping.
  • Incorporate in an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and three-season enclosure.
  • Create a family-friendly space where their children wanted to spend time.

The Design Process

Green Impressions collaborated closely with Adam and his wife to come up with a backyard design that balanced functionality with natural beauty. Inspiration for the design came from California-style aesthetics and a focus on natural elements such as limestone and turf. Unique features like algae-accented steps offered a timeless, “lived-in” look, while a three-season enclosure helped maximize usability throughout the year.
