Outdoor Living

It’s an extension of your home

For most people, the pool is the centerpiece for backyard entertaining. But it’s only part of the picture. It is increasingly common for today’s homeowners to include any or all of the following in their backyard pool projects…

Arbors & Pergolas
Grills & Outdoor Kitchens

Arbors & Pergolas

Would you like a little shade in your backyard area? An arbor or pergola can create a wonderful living area that stays cool and breezy, while still letting in plenty of light and fresh air.  (And with the right landscaping touch, it can become a natural “green” arbor.)

Fireplaces & Firepits

An outdoor fireplace or firepit can be a great addition to an outdoor living space. It can be a focal point to formalize your outdoor living room. And everyone knows that gathering around the campfire is a great way to entertain and interact with friends and family.

 

There are limitless possibilities for firepit and fireplace designs and materials, so take a look at some of these examples for some ideas.  Whatever you can envision, we can build.

Grills and Outdoor Cooking

Nothing completes your outdoor area like the ability to cook without running in and out of the house all the time. We suggest you devote an area of your new outdoor living space to culinary endeavors, based on the number of people you plan to entertain.
