It’s been said that authors will often look back at their earlier work and wonder what led them to write what they did.

I would think anyone who does creative work would do the same thing. This landscape architect sure does.

Case in point is my own backyard. Only four years old and I think that if I were to do it all over again, I might not do it all over again.

Our south-facing patio doors lead to a superb and well-used sizable patio.

Rather than concrete, I opted to use a dark-coloured Umbriano brick, by Unilock.

We use this patio more than any other sit-down areas of the backyard, sometimes at breakfast with morning coffee, but most often in evenings.
