The lesson here is when the genie in the magic bottle grants you just one wish, make sure it’s a good one – jam packed with everything you could possibly want.
Living proof is this Columbus, Ohio, backyard that originally had virtually nothing except for a meager wood staircase leading out from the interior kitchen. Take a look at this amazing before and after:

Archadeck Of Columbus Creates An Outstanding And Versatile Design For A Backyard That Checks All The Boxes
The key words for this backyard transformation wish list were as follows:
1. Low maintenance deck
2. Spacious paver patio
3. Chef’s outdoor kitchen
4. Architectural pergola with privacy wall
5. Flagstone and pebble pathway
6. Maximize a narrow and long backyard area
This overview chronicles how Archadeck local owner and operator, Rob Mitchell, and his expert deck building team pulled out all the stops to check all the boxes.
Space Limitations Yield Unlimited Outdoor Living Functionality Proving The Axiom That Sometimes Less Can Be More
The right rear of this Columbus, Ohio, home provided the footprint for the first phase of this backyard reinvention. Perfectly proportioned to make the most of the functionally available usable area, we designed and installed a low maintenance deck using TimberTech Edge composite sustainably smart decking in the color Coconut Husk.
Many of our Columbus outdoor living space clients don’t want to stain their deck every year and with low-maintenance TimberTech decking, they never have to. Today, we are fortunate to have a wide variety of synthetic decking materials that look very similar to wood but never require staining nor any annual maintenance. The only maintenance they require is using a sponge or hose to remove anything you would remove from your indoor floors, such as an impromptu food spill. Otherwise, outdoor debris that’s tracked onto the deck surface can easily be removed with a garden hose or perhaps with a sponge and water.
To clearly outline the perimeter of the new virtually carefree deck, our team installed a stunning horizontally intricate Trex Signature Rod Rail in black, to accent and contrast the Coconut Husk finish of the deck.
With effortless style and exceptional strength, Trex Signature Railing is the epitome of low maintenance outdoor railings with a touch of modern simplicity and elegant sophistication. This powder-coated aluminum rail resists fading and corrosion, backed by the Trex 25-year Limited Warranty.
Pathways That Lead To Many Places And Spaces Of Outdoor Pleasure
To navigate the newly transformed backyard, we installed a pathway consisting of Mexican beach pebbles with an inset Castle Gray pattern of flagstone steppers. It’s stunning to look at, while being incredibly functional, to facilitate rainfall drainage from the patio surface.
The spacious paver patio was built using Unilock Beacon Hill flagstone in Granite Fusion with a distinctive Charcoal accent border.
Here’s What’s Cooking In The New Backyard Outdoor Living Space
With a totally transformed backyard, it only made sense to duplicate the functionality of the interior kitchen into the great outdoors. The new feature-rich outdoor kitchen area features a built-in grill, trash can and a 2-drawer cabinet. The kitchen was built using Dutch Quality stone in Kentucky Blend Limestone.
Sometimes Wide Open Outdoor Spaces Need An Intimate Area For Privacy
With the extreme right side of the backyard property line being fully fenced with a vertical wood slat barrier, the family wanted a modicum of privacy for the open area on the left side of the yard.
The solution? This perfectly tailored privacy wall comprised of horizontal rough-hewn cedar – the ultimate crowning touch for this uniquely inventive outdoor paradise.
