Backyard Inspirations
Great backyards are a world of their own. They combine the best aspects of the home with elements of the natural environment. Whether you go to them for family feasts or late-night conversation under the stars, the backyard can be an escape from cares and a space in which to focus on what really matters. Light the fire. Listen to the sound of trickling water. And prepare to be inspired by these Merrimack Valley backyards.
This backyard oasis was created by Tom Busta Jr. and the crew at Dana Landscaping & Water Gardens. When the owners retired to this New Hampshire home, they trusted his team to transform it into something that felt like a vacation property. The water feature blends seamlessly with the natural landscape in every season. This year, the crew will return and add lighting fixtures so that the homeowners can enjoy their backyard oasis at any time. DanaLandscaping.com
