A Backyard Resort in Leawood Kansas KS designed by Backyard by Design

Functional elegance

The first step in this backyard transformation was to deal with the drainage issues. The property had a big slope that caused water to run toward the house. A large drainage system was installed under the patio to carry rainwater away. Terracing, elevation changes, walls and river rock were utilized to further direct water flow off the property. Even the fire pit area incorporates a drainage system in its design.

A luxury backyard resort

With the drainage problems resolved, the owners could focus on their dream for a backyard resort. Natural flagstone adorning the pool deck carries into the bench area and underwater sun ledge. The spa spillover into the pool and landscape lighting create a luxurious resort feel with the sound of running water. The golf putting green is truly reminiscent of a vacation destination and the outdoor kitchen, cabana and bathroom make this a true backyard resort.
