The Cutler family wanted a complete transformation of their backyard, seeking a luxurious yet functional space to complement their home’s architecture. Millburn Lawn & Landscape was enlisted to execute a high-end design that seamlessly blends into the natural surroundings, while still providing elegance and usability.
Design Highlights
Custom Stone Staircases
The project featured natural stone stairways that elegantly climb the hillside, connecting various outdoor levels. These steps provide not only practicality but also enhance the visual appeal by integrating into the natural landscape.
Outdoor Seating and Fire Feature
Millburn installed custom stone seating areas that offer both comfort and durability. The fire pit area was designed to create a cozy gathering space, making it the perfect spot for evening relaxation and entertaining guests.
Luxury Pavilion
One of the standout features of the project is the large pavilion, which provides an inviting sheltered area for outdoor dining or lounging. Crafted with high-quality wood and stone, the pavilion ties the whole design together, offering a luxurious yet functional outdoor room.
Natural Stone Retaining Walls
Custom retaining walls were designed to manage the slope of the property while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the garden. These walls blend effortlessly with the surrounding elements, ensuring both beauty and durability.
Challenges Addressed
The steep terrain of the backyard required careful planning and design to ensure functionality without compromising the luxury look and feel the family desired. Millburn used strategic layering and terracing to balance usability and natural beauty, creating a space that harmonizes with the environment.
Client Satisfaction
The Cutler family was delighted with the outcome, expressing appreciation for the attention to detail, craftsmanship, and ability to blend aesthetics with practicality. The backyard has become their favorite outdoor retreat, perfect for both intimate family moments and larger social gatherings.
