Hello. I am located in New Jersey and looking for ideas on what to do with a section of my yard. It used to be a play area with a swingset, sandbox and other playthings. Now my daughters are college age and I am looking to do something more grown up and entertaining/relaxing for the area. Probably would like more hardscaping than landscaping. Our style is traditional. The area is 120x58 (6960 sq. ft.) slopes up, and shady. We have a fence on one side. Leveling out the area and trimming back the trees for more sunlight is a consideration. Also, it is not difficult to run electric or gas, if needed. Probably do some DIY and some Pro Contracting.

Thank you for your help.
