Get Cozy:

Once you have a weather-proof structure, you’ll want to make your space comfortable. A built in fire place or even a portable fire pit or fire table allow you to use these spaces on a cool summer night or well into the fall season. Add plenty of seating options for your guests to create the best backyard hosting space. Decorate with overstuffed outdoor pillows and throw blankets that you can nest into. You’ll never want to leave!

Outdoor Dining:

Inspire hosting envy with an elaborate outdoor kitchen. If you’re the type that likes to host dinners or backyard BBQ’s, an all-weather dining room is the perfect fit for you! Attach a built-in countertop or buffet table to your pavilion or include a grill station with countertops to make grilling easy! Outdoor kitchen sinks, wine fridges, bars, and pizza ovens are noteworthy additions to your outdoor space for any food lover! A pavilion is a great choice for those who love to host large crowds!

Outdoor Activities:

A popular design request we have been seeing is incorporating your favorite outdoor activities into your landscape design plan. Blend your pool into your landscape with a patio for sunbathing, low maintenance gardens, and poolside lighting for the late night swims. A hot tub can go from an eye sore to a centerpiece with the addition of a built-in composite staircase, a wall with a bar top to set drinks and snacks on, and an outdoor TV. Similarly, a sports court can become a central part of your oasis with landscape lighting, surround sound, low maintenance landscaping, and privacy trees. Create the ultimate oasis with a design that’s used and loved daily.
