We would like to redesign our backyard (landscaping). Current dimensions of ~40ft x 60ft. It is surrounded by a fence, with landscape beds and several large pine trees around the perimeter, a large patio, some garden beds, and a large grass area. (See attached photo). Our primary goals are to make the backyard feel more private and enhance the aesthetics. We are thinking about removing some of the grass. expanding the landscaping beds, adding more trees or tall shrubs (to the perimeter and/or alongside the edges of the patio, adding some DG+stone paths, and probably a fire pit as well. We are open to adding some small walls or other stone features on the patio. (See attached photo) I will do all of the masonry and landscaping work myself. We are interested in someone that can design the backyard. You can incorporate my ideas or make your own recommendations. We live in Central Oregon, which is a high-desert climate. and it's important that the designer takes this into account when selecting plants. You are welcome to submit a bid for the entire project (and make clear what this includes) or you can bill us at an hourly rate, and give us an estimate of the total time involved. Thanks!
