Backyard Remodeling for Downey homes
An ADU in the backyard changes who uses the yard. The main house and the second unit each want a patch of outdoor space, and each may want a little privacy. Avalon Studio Design Build plans Downey backyards that divide the ground between them, with a patio for each, a path between them and planting areas that mark the line.
Two outdoor spaces on one lot
The main house might want a covered patio off the kitchen and a cooking counter. The ADU might want a small seating nook by its door. Planting areas and a change in paving can set the boundary without a wall, and a shared path can connect both doors to the gate. Downey is about 16.3 miles from Avalon Studio Design Build. Avalon builds ADUs as well as backyards, so the unit and its yard can be planned together, with Eddie.
