Landscaping at the backyard is nearly finished. This week, our landscaper has worked on decking mainly. We are extending the alfresco by 4.5sqm making it around 17sqm. We went for composite decking material because it is of low maintenance. The colour is called Red Rock.
Also an L-shaped garden screen has been installed today to hide Rain Water Tank and Aircon. As vining plant, Jasmine has been planted. In a year or two, the garden screen should be like a green wall of Jasmine.
Here are some photos:

The composite decking material wasn't used for the sides of the deck, treated pine has been used, now we have to paint it to a suitable colour. The alfresco feels much bigger now. Unfortunately, the only pending thing by our landscaper is the patio tiling, which got moved to first week of January.
Expanding the deck is a great idea for gardening, entertaining guests or just relaxing outside. I imagine the low maintenance of the composite decking material makes it easier to focus on your garden screen. Watching your Jasmine vines fill up your screen is going to be fun, and I hope you will share pictures as the screen becomes a green wall.
