I’m turning my backyard into a truly functional outdoor living space and need a considered landscape design that centers on a sleek, modern seating area. The goal is to have a layout that feels like a natural extension of the house—comfortable for everyday use yet polished enough for entertaining. Here’s what I’m hoping you’ll deliver: • A scaled site plan that positions the seating zone, circulation paths, and surrounding planting beds. • Mood board or material palette that captures the clean-lined, contemporary look I’m after. • 3D visualisations or perspective sketches so I can see how the space will feel before construction. • A planting and materials schedule specifying species, quantities, and hardscape finishes suitable for my climate. • Construction details (dimensions, sections, and notes) clear enough for a contractor to build without guesswork. Please base the design on a modern style—think crisp edges, low-profile furnishings, and understated planting schemes—and keep the overall layout highly functional. I’m happy to share photos, site measurements, and inspiration images once we start. Two rounds of revisions should be plenty for me to sign off. If you regularly work in SketchUp, AutoCAD, or similar tools, let me know; file compatibility will make the hand-off smoother.
