If you’re looking to transform your San Francisco backyard into a breathtaking outdoor living space, consider introducing redwood lattice and backlighting. Not only is this an excellent way to create a cozy ambiance for hosting friends and family, but it also provides plenty of privacy from curious neighbors! This project was on Fairmount Street in San Francisco. The pictures below will walk you through the process of installing these features in their backyard, while helping the home owners maximize both style and functionality to create the perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining.
