Plan this Winter: Outdoor Living

What is outdoor living?

Maybe you already know that outdoor living spaces are an extension of the home – an enjoyable way to utilize your outdoor space for entertainment and peacefulness. But did you know that outdoor living spaces are completely customizable? There is no cookie cutter way to organize your yard into a functional and fun space. We start with what matters to you. Do you need a place to sit while you watch your kids on the swing set? Do you want to elevate your gatherings with friends and family? Would you like a quiet place to reflect and regroup? There are an endless number of reasons to want an outdoor living space and just as many ways to make it happen.

Picture yourself having a cup of hot tea some early springtime afternoon in the soft sun on your back patio. Find the comfort of shade under your towering trees as you lounge by the pool on a hot summer day. Feel the warmth coming from your fireplace on a crisp fall evening as you roast marshmallows with your family or friends. We have talented masons and horticulturists who can transform your existing areas into something beautiful that achieves your goals. From natural textured blue mist granite to whimsical purple allium, we have many tools to enhance the beauty and strength of the paths you walk on and the places you rest.

How can you incorporate outdoor living into your lifestyle?

Let’s review some background on the opportunities of outdoor living. If you like to entertain groups, an outdoor living room could be right for you – a patio to congregate on and a fireplace to flock to. A fireside living room with comfortable outdoor seating is relaxing and mesmerizing. It doesn’t hurt to have some barbecue off your sizzling grill either. Top off your experience with an outdoor TV. Watch your current binge show with a pizza just out of your outdoor brick oven or keep it simple with some popcorn and a rom com in your new living space. When the party’s over, collect your thoughts by the bubbling stream and have a peaceful moment to yourself. Contemplation spaces can help you reflect on the beautiful moments you have experienced and imagine those to come.

Why are we talking about this now rather than during grilling season?

The winter is a great time to install an outdoor kitchen so that you are springtime-ready. You can enjoy the entirety of the warmer months your first year having this space. If you are going away on vacation in the summer, that could be a good time for installation as well so that there is no interruption to your day to day. If that’s your preference, maybe consider planning your project this winter to beat the spring rush.

Just because the cold weather is here does not mean that you can’t build on what you have and bring life to your ideas. We are here to help you achieve your vision and excited at the possibility of bringing you more joy in your outdoor life
