Some transformations must be seen to be believed—and the Fehlman family’s backyard is one of them. What was formerly a sprawling expanse of unused space has now become a breathtaking outdoor retreat, designed for relaxation, play, and unforgettable family moments. It all started with a vision…and connecting with the pros at System Pavers. Watch this incredible yard come to life and hear about the Fehlmans’ renovation experience in a video testimonial you don’t want to miss!
A Family’s Dream Takes Shape
The Fehlmans had one goal for their yard: to create a space where their family—kids, grandkids, and eventually great-grandkids—could gather, play, and build cherished memories for generations to come. But with a backyard that was 80% dirt, they needed help turning that vision into reality. They wanted something low-maintenance, visually stunning, and functional for all ages. Enter System Pavers.
One call set the wheels in motion. The design experts at System Pavers worked closely with the Fehlmans, brainstorming, sketching, and fine-tuning a plan that would maximize their space while minimizing upkeep. From the very first meeting, it was clear: this was going to be a transformation that made people say “wow”.
A Backyard Built for Fun and Family
The Fehlmans wanted a backyard that was more than simply beautiful. They wanted a place with a resort-like feel, packed with ways to bring people together. The System Pavers team got to work, incorporating custom features that made the space both functional and fun.
Paver Courtyard, Patios & Walkways: Interlocking paving stones were used to create multiple defined areas to hang out while creating a seamless flow between the yard’s many different living areas.
Miniature Golf Course: Artificial turf was used to craft a sleek, green putting space, turning an empty stretch of yard into a playful, eye-catching feature.
Fire Pit: As an eye-catching centerpiece of their space, a massive fire pit with gorgeous tile work, invites family and friends to gather around, share stories, and enjoy the warmth of the flames.
Water Feature: The gentle sound of flowing water brings a sense of peace and relaxation through the addition of a water fountain that makes the backyard feel like a true oasis.
Landscape Lighting: Perfectly placed outdoor lighting accents every corner of the yard and allows the family to enjoy their space long after sunset.
Perfectly Matched Pavers & Planters: Carefully selected pavers complement the existing aesthetic of their home, while thoughtfully placed décor such as planters add warmth and color, and create a cohesive look that brings the entire design together.
A Seamless Experience with System Pavers
From concept to completion, the Fehlmans were blown away by the ease and professionalism of working with System Pavers. Their project manager was on-site nearly every day, ensuring every detail was just right. Behind the scenes, thoughtful touches—like installing retaining walls and ensuring proper drainage—were seamlessly integrated, solving potential problems before they could arise. “They helped out in so many ways we didn’t even think of,” the Fehlmans shared. “You don’t see it, but you need it. We don’t have any water problems at all in our yard.”
