GLEN ELLYN PROJECT – family friendly, woodland backyard habitat, no lawn

This backyard is now a beautiful, multi-functional area with:
- woodland habitat
- firepit / seating area
- children’s balance path made from tree stumps
- rain garden
- stepping stone paths to key areas, and
- no more lawn.

BEFORE

View approaching backyard from side yard using stepping stone path. Small rain garden captures run-off from adjacent concrete patio.

Landscape design plan incorporates homeowner’s wish list plus more, despite small size and angular patio, house areas.
