Redoing our backyard and adding a pool. Current retaining wall is failing, so we need to rebuild anyway.
Included:
Current yard
2–4. Layout options
Goals: functional space for kids, clean look, and good flow from the house.
Which layout would you pick and why?
Anything we’re missing?
We are looking at options for backyard redesign and adding a pool. Thoughts on these potential mockups/layouts in terms of curb appeal and usability? I included our current photo for reference. The mockups aren’t perfect but give a general idea. We’re working on quotes for the different versions.
Edit to add: the current back retaining structure is failing and needs repair- all options will unfortunately be expensive
