I’ve been remiss in not sharing the last of the garden improvements! This raised terrace off the dining room consists of large tile pavers on a metal frame. This allows for better drainage, doesn’t impact tree roots, and can be removed if we ever sell the place. It also raises the level up closer to the new French doors, which should give us a great entertaining space next summer. Now we just need the fence to get replaced so we can get the landscapers back to do the planting, irrigation, and lights.
