I’m so excited to share the details of our beach house backyard renovation! This project brings together modern elements with a beachy vibe, creating the perfect outdoor oasis for relaxation and entertaining. The foundation of the space is laid with large custom-made concrete pavers, separated by lush strips of moss grass. This combination creates a sleek, structured look while softening the space with natural greenery. The contrast between the hard lines of the pavers and the softness of the moss grass adds an organic feel, making it both modern and inviting.

A standout feature of the renovation is the stunning pergola, built with massive 12x12 rustic beams. The natural texture and heft of the wood bring a warm, grounded feel to the space while offering essential shade. We extended these beams to the side and entrance of the house, seamlessly tying the entire area together.

I absolutely love the deep blue color we selected for the pool. This rich hue beautifully complements the surrounding design elements, establishing it as the undeniable centerpiece of the backyard. The way the blue contrasts with the greenery and the neutral tones of the hardscape creates a stunning visual effect. Whether you’re lounging poolside with a good book or taking a refreshing dip on a warm day, the pool brings an effortless sense of calm and relaxation.

Surrounding the pool is TimberTech decking, selected for its durability and sleek aesthetic. The clean, modern lines of the decking provide a striking contrast to the rustic elements of the pergola. Additionally, it's incredibly low-maintenance, making it both a practical and stylish choice for the space. I carefully matched the color of the deck with various other elements in the area, including the end dining table chairs, the sectional, and the beautiful bench and side tables from Trueform Concrete.

No outdoor space feels complete without a cozy gathering spot, and the large sectional around the fire pit provides just that. We’ve been enjoying this area all summer, and now that fall is approaching, we’re excited to settle in by the fire. The flickering flames create a warm ambiance that invites long conversations and leisurely outdoor lounging, making it the perfect place to unwind as the seasons change.

The overall design of this outdoor renovation beautifully balances modern sophistication with beachy charm. The clean lines of the pavers and decking complement the rustic beams of the pergola and the calming blue pool, creating the ideal outdoor escape—contemporary, yet relaxed and inviting. This transformation has turned a simple backyard into a true outdoor retreat, perfect for enjoying both quiet moments and lively gatherings.
