Whether you want to design your backyard oasis to be a prime spot for outdoor entertaining or a place for relaxing by the outdoor fireplace, our team of experts will help you curate your ideal outdoor living area.

 

As summer approaches, so too does the desire to move our eating and entertaining outdoors. No matter how you choose to design your outdoor living space, our goal is the same: To make your outdoor living area one that is beautiful, functional and blends seamlessly with the interior of your home.

 

Must-have #1: Outdoor fire

 

Whether you select a stylish outdoor fireplace or a rustic fire pit, there's no denying that incorporating fire is a quintessential piece of outdoor living design.

 

For entertaining that feels elevated, design your outdoor space so that your TV is built in just above the fireplace. Not only is this design conducive for entertaining, it makes for the perfect spot for relaxing or family movie night.

Must-have #2: Dining area

 

Outdoor kitchen and dining setups are ideal for entertaining. The grill is an obvious must-have, but also consider incorporating surface space for food prep or a buffet.

Our outdoor living areas are expansive enough to include a large dining area - suitable for a crowd or the whole family. (Because what's a cookout without a space outside to enjoy it?)
