Ontario Transformation

From Complex Terrain to Sophisticated Retreat

Ontario, CA

UrbanTerra Landscape

This Napean backyard had a complex layout with varying levels and an existing septic system that posed significant design challenges. The homeowner's goal was to create a seamless, multi-level retreat that maximized usability while maintaining a sleek and sophisticated look.

Multi-Level Retreat

Innovative Terrain Transformation

Maximized Usability

The contractor carefully planned the design to work around the septic system, incorporating multiple levels that flowed naturally despite the challenging terrain. Heated flooring beneath the pavers allowed for year-round accessibility, while features like fire pits and lounge areas added functionality and charm.

The Story Behind the Transformation

Before

After

The backyard features 3,000 square feet of Blu Grande pavers in Greyed Nickel and 900 square feet of Hexa pavers in Onyx Black. The design includes 275 Raffinato steps connecting a sunken poolside fire pit, raised lounge, and switchback stairs leading to upper patios. The addition of Antika pavers for the wood-burning fire pit flooring and a matching design in the front yard ties the property together.
