Red Brick Patio Meet Plush Green Turf and Cozy Corner Décor-$7,150

A couple in Flatbush reached out to Adkins Landscape Contracting to upgrade their new home's backyard. They envisioned a refreshed, inviting space that blended warmth with modern practicality—an area perfect for relaxation after busy days and weekend gatherings with friends. A landscape technician arrived for a thorough on site consultation, walking the 500-square-foot yard, noting the existing layout, sun exposure, and drainage, while listening carefully to the couple’s goals. Their priorities were clear: enhance the look, elevate functionality, and create a low-maintenance oasis.

Based on the conversation, the technician drafted a detailed 3D rendering to visualize the transformation. The design centered on a harmonious mix of materials: red brick-style interlocking pavers for a timeless, durable surface that anchors the space and guides movement. The plan reserved half the yard for lush artificial turf, offering a verdant, year-round plane for lounging and a safe play area for pets and kids and to connect the zones and add natural texture, natural blue flagstone pavers were integrated, providing a cool contrast.

The project unfolded over five days. The team prepped the site, installed the red brick pavers with precise alignment, laid down the turf, and placed the blue flagstone accents to create gentle transitions. The result is a cohesive outdoor room that feels both welcoming and durable, with low maintenance requirements that suit a busy lifestyle. The total project value came to $7,150, reflecting quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The couple now enjoys a stylish, functional backyard that suits everyday life and special occasions alike in vibrant Flatbush.
