The whole package! That’s what this lovely couple was after when they moved into their new forever home. Recently retired and ready to enjoy life, they weren’t wasting any time turning their property into a personal oasis. Their dream design included a paver patio surrounding the existing in-ground pool, a custom wooden deck off the back of the home, a stylish pergola, elegant walkways, lush softscaping, drainage solutions, and ambient lighting. It was an exciting and rewarding project for the GreenGrove crew from the very start!
We began with the essential groundwork—addressing drainage issues on the property to prevent future headaches. Once resolved, we shifted our focus to the pool area, laying down custom pavers in time for the homeowners to enjoy the pool during the warmer months—even as work continued in other parts of the yard. As progress unfolded, the vision expanded! Inspired by the transformation, the couple added a paved area beneath their pergola, more walkways, and new trees for privacy. It was a pleasure to accommodate the evolving design and make their dream landscape even more dynamic.
With the deck completed and new additions installed, we moved into the finishing phase—softscaping and lighting. We concealed the pool filter, integrated the couple’s beautiful Butterfly Bushes, and added vibrant plantings like Boxwoods, Catmint, and Creeping Phlox for color and texture. Landscape lighting brought subtle elegance to the walkways and deck area, enhancing both safety and ambiance. In the end, their backyard was transformed into a peaceful retreat and an entertainer’s paradise—perfect for two wonderful people to relax, host, and enjoy for years to come.
The design seamlessly integrates functionality with natural beauty, offering a versatile space for both work and leisure. Below is an overview of the key features we implemented:
This backyard transformation was crafted for a modern homeowner seeking the best of both worlds—a peaceful place to unwind and a functional space to work from home. With thoughtful design and strategic planning, we blended natural beauty with day-to-day practicality. The result is a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that supports both productivity and relaxation.
We installed a variety of premium features to make the space both stylish and highly usable: 🧱 Expansive Techo-Bloc Patio – A spacious layout that serves as a multifunctional hub for lounging or working outdoors. 🍽️ L-Shaped Bar & Grill – A full outdoor kitchen setup perfect for hosting or grabbing a quick bite between Zoom calls. 🔥 Cozy Firepit Area – Designed for laid-back evenings and casual get-togethers.
To round out the experience, we added smart technology and subtle touches of nature: 💡 App-Controlled Smart Lighting – Customizable landscape lighting for any mood or time of day. 🔊 Integrated Outdoor Audio – Whether it’s background music or a client meeting, crystal-clear sound sets the tone. 🌿 Planted Slope for Erosion Control – A lush slope featuring hardy, low-maintenance plants that prevent runoff while elevating the space’s aesthetic. The result? A versatile, tech-enhanced outdoor environment that supports work, play, and everything in between.
What was once an underutilized outdoor space is now a complete backyard retreat. Every element of this transformation was designed with intention—creating harmony between form and function. The space now feels like a natural extension of the home, where productivity flows by day and relaxation takes over by night. It’s a personalized sanctuary that adapts to the client’s lifestyle year-round.
This build showcases the power of pairing expert hardscaping with cutting-edge outdoor technology. From precision-laid Techo-Bloc pavers to an integrated audio system and app-controlled lighting, every detail was designed to elevate the outdoor experience. The L-shaped bar, built-in grill, and smart features don’t just add convenience—they redefine how outdoor living feels in a connected world.
Nestled on a scenic acre of farmland, this charming Cape Cod-style home was ready for an outdoor upgrade. The homeowners envisioned a space where they could relax, grill, and entertain—all while enjoying their expansive backyard. Our in-house designer collaborated closely with the couple to create a custom plan featuring a spacious patio, built-in grill station, and a retaining wall embracing a lush garden island with vibrant perennials and towering 50-foot Cedars.
Once we cleared the aging concrete slab and wooden retaining wall, our crew began excavation and base construction for the new patio. Finding the perfect paver to complement the home’s farm-style architecture was a fun challenge—and one our clients were fully engaged in. After visiting multiple showrooms and reviewing options, we landed on a stunning Shale Grey blend that hit the mark perfectly. With materials selected and groundwork complete, installation moved swiftly. The Techo Bloc patio came together beautifully, the retaining wall was raised with precision, and the custom grill station began to take shape, featuring a premium grill head and elegant bluestone countertop.
To bring the space to life, our team added thoughtful finishing touches. We ran gas and electric lines, added a slab-style walkway to the pool, and installed low-voltage lighting to create a warm ambiance for evening gatherings. Finally, we laid fresh seed for lawn restoration, blending the new construction seamlessly with the surrounding farmland. The result? A relaxing, multi-functional outdoor haven that blends rustic charm with elegant hardscaping. For our Oceanport clients, the perfect backyard escape has officially arrived.
What began as a basic concrete slab and aging wooden retaining wall has been completely reimagined into a refined outdoor living space that perfectly suits the charm of this Cape Cod-style home. With expansive pavers, a custom grilling station, and warm lighting woven into the design, the new patio offers both functionality and serenity. The thoughtful use of materials and natural plantings ties the entire yard together, turning a simple backyard into a stunning retreat for relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying the expansive views year-round.
