Modern Backyard & Fire Pit Lounge in Costa Mesa, CA

The story / Costa Mesa

One lawn became three places to gather.

In May 2020 this Costa Mesa backyard was one long lawn wrapped around a curved paver patio, with a single seating set and an old wood fence along the side. It was tidy and green, but there wasn't much to do out there except look at it.

HQ designed the whole yard in 3D first, then started over with new drainage under artificial turf. A custom aluminum patio cover now shades a concrete deck for the main lounge. Concrete pads cross the turf to a custom BBQ on one side and, in the far corner, a Trex deck with custom seating and a fire pit. A new wood fence, landscaping, low voltage lights and fresh white paint on the house tie it all together, so the yard looks its best after dark.
