The Patio Retreat
The heart of outdoor living
Creating Connection Through Outdoor Space Design
From Unused Lawn to the Heart of Outdoor Living
What was once a neglected and uneven patch of grass is now the heart of this Cascade, MI home’s outdoor lifestyle. We completely transformed this unusable backyard into a stunning patio retreat—complete with an outdoor kitchen and gathering space. Designed for both functionality and beauty, this custom patio was built to host family parties, quiet mornings, and everything in between.
The new space seamlessly blends hardscape with nature, offering a purposeful layout with room for dining, lounging, and connection. It’s a shining example of how thoughtful design can reclaim underutilized areas and give them new life, increasing not only property value but also quality of life.
The Experience
“The end result was exactly what I was looking for…”
“I was referred to Walden Design by a friend and had a general idea of what I wanted—a patio space for entertaining. What made the experience exceptional was how well Jami listened. He came back with a design that was spot-on. The timing was also critical, as we had a big event scheduled. Walden not only hit the mark with the design, but they finished the entire project before the deadline.”
A lot of landscaping companies promise great service, but few actually deliver. Walden Design’s team stayed true to the schedule, budget, and vision. The result? A patio that matched the homeowner’s expectations down to the last detail—on time and on budget. It’s no wonder Tom was left “very happy with the results.”
