The Craigieburn Alfresco

The alfresco sits under a pergola. We built timber bench seats between brick planter pillars, then fitted decorative timber screens with holders for pots.

At the front of the house we built floating steps leading to the door, and edged the garden bed.

The photos show the alfresco before the screens went up and after, the benches and deck, and the same space at dusk.
