The great outdoors await … just step out the back door
Outdoor spaces are definitely gaining momentum as go-to-places to party and enjoy nature in the backyard. In Gilroy, we are blessed with an amazing Mediterranean climate that affords us the opportunity to be outdoors the better part of the year. Showcased on these pages are a few of Gilroy’ s amazing backyards in various stages of development.
Backyards seem to evolve in two distinct ways. Some are the result of meticulous planning and construction happening all at once according to those plans; others yards take on a more organic approach that evolves over time. The Perless’ backyard is a good example of carefully planned, all at once outdoor setting. On the other end of the spectrum, with a more organic approach, is the backyard at the Bozzo’ s. The plan for the Bozzo back yard evolved over a few decades and was influenced by a variety of significant happenings.
