“Wellness Meets Modern Living”

Luxury Backyard Design in California’s Central Valley & Bay Area

This custom outdoor living space—crafted by Green Lion Landscape—transforms everyday life into a high-end backyard retreat. Located in the heart of California’s Central Valley, this project blends natural beauty with modern functionality for a luxurious lifestyle experience. From the wellness walkway and cedar sauna to the spa and curated planting zones, every element is designed to create a boutique resort feel right at home in places like Modesto, Pleasanton, and Turlock.

A custom water wall feature anchors the central yard with soothing sound and visual elegance, while raised garden beds and built-in seating bring structure, softness, and greenery together. At the core of the entertainment zone, a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen under a louvered pergola offers premium appliances, bar seating, and task lighting—perfect for relaxing evenings or weekend gatherings. Just steps away, the covered patio lounge area provides indoor-style comfort with plush seating and custom wood accents, merging elegance and openness in one seamless space.

This backyard project showcases what’s possible with Green Lion’s full-service outdoor design and build team—serving Bay Area and Sacramento homeowners who want more than a backyard… they want a lifestyle.
