The âWhat Ifâ Phase of Backyard Planning
Scrolling Pinterest got me thinking about edgesânot the existential kind, but the literal borders of my yard. Right now, it just⌠stops. Like the universe forgot to render the rest. I want definition, maybe a deck that blends into a little stone path or connects to a pergola. Something that flows.
I found myself on Supreme Deck Builders of St. Charlesâ main site, lingering over their gallery. One photo showed a deck with a built-in bench that curved around a tree, and it felt so intentional. No wasted space, no awkward gapsâjust a design that worked with the yard, not against it.
Iâm not ready to commit yet (my bank account needs therapy first), but itâs got me rethinking how I use every inch of my outdoor space. Maybe the deck doesnât have to be a rectangle. Maybe it can meander.
