Making a plan

It was hard to imagine getting rid of all the grass in the backyard and then coming up with an interesting plan. With the yard being about 66 feet wide and over 40 feet deep and 8 feet on either side of the house, access should not be a problem.

I know I wanted a patio and some planting beds for later planting of trees, shrubs and perennials. I wasn't sure how big the patio should be but it had to be large enough to have some sitting areas and a dining area. I also wanted to have a corner of the patio for a BBQ.

I tried coming up with a few organic designs but always ended up looking like a mickey mouse head (patio) and 2 ears (planting areas). I started scouring home renovation websites and the web to get professional help.
