Our clients wanted to maximize the usability of their sloped backyard while enhancing its natural beauty. They envisioned a space that was both functional and stunning, integrating seamlessly with the mountainous terrain.
The Challenge
The backyard on Hillside Drive was uneven and challenging for the family to enjoy. With a steep slope and limited usable space, the children had nowhere safe to play, and downhill erosion was becoming a concern.
Benty’s Landscaping Solution
Benty’s Landscaping transformed this backyard into a perfect play oasis for the kids! We constructed a sturdy retaining wall to stabilize the hillside and expertly leveled a generous area. Now, there’s plenty of safe space for running, playing, and exploring. We installed soft, long-lasting rubber mulch on the playground area for safety and a new custom climbing area.
Created a Climbing Area with Rubber Mulch – Safe, Fun, and Durable Play
To enhance the backyard on Hillside Drive, Benty’s Landscaping installed a custom climbing area designed just for kids. Our team used high-quality rubber mulch to create a soft, impact-absorbing surface around the play zone, providing safety and comfort for active play. The climbing structure encourages adventure and activity. The rubber mulch not only cushions falls but also looks clean and tidy year-round, requiring minimal maintenance and resisting harsh Truckee weather. This project turned an unused slope into a safe, fun, and inviting playground that families—and their neighbors—love.
Leveling the Space – Creating a Usable and Safe Outdoor Area
Benty’s Landscaping expertly leveled the backyard to transform an uneven, sloped area into a flat, functional space. By carefully grading and reshaping the landscape, we eliminated problem spots and created a safe, accessible yard for the whole family. The new level surface improves drainage, prevents erosion, and sets the stage for new features like patios, play spaces, or gardens. This transformation not only enhances the yard’s appearance but also significantly increases its usability, making outdoor activities, relaxation, and family gatherings more enjoyable in Truckee’s beautiful environment.
Backyard Patio – Expanding Outdoor Living in Style
Benty’s Landscaping transformed this backyard by designing and installing a custom patio that creates a perfect gathering space for family and friends. Using durable, weather-resistant pavers suitable for Truckee’s mountain climate, our team delivered a seamless extension of the home’s living area into the outdoors. The new patio offers ample room for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing and watching the kids play.
Built Retaining Walls
Robust retaining walls were installed to manage the slope, prevent erosion, and create flat, usable areas for planting and leisure.
Secret Rock Staircase – Hidden Pathways for Adventure
To add a touch of magic and adventure to the outdoor space, Benty’s Landscaping designed and installed a secret rock staircase nestled into the hillside. Crafted from natural stone to blend seamlessly with Truckee’s mountain terrain, this hidden staircase invites kids and adults to explore. Each step feels like a discovery, connecting different levels of the landscape and turning a simple walkway into a delightful backyard feature.
The Result
The result is a backyard that’s both beautiful and functional—the kids have a dedicated, secure play zone, and the parents have peace of mind.
