This Ridgewood, NJ backyard was designed to maximize a limited footprint while meeting strict zoning and drainage requirements. The project features a custom gunite pool and spa paired with a covered pavilion positioned at the water’s edge, creating a unique focal point and outdoor living space with TV and surround sound. Engineered drainage, grading, and retaining solutions ensure long-term performance on the low-lying site. Custom patios, privacy landscaping, lighting, irrigation, and fencing complete this refined backyard retreat designed for entertaining and everyday use.
