Mediterranean Backyard Design Ideas
A mediterranean backyard combines the sun-drenched warmth reminiscent of coastal Italian and Spanish villas with a space designed for homeowners with families.
A backyard typically features lawn area, patio, garden beds, possibly a pool. Balance between entertaining, play space, and garden areas.
