Pools: The largest feature and centerpiece of relaxation and recreation, designed to fit your lifestyle and aesthetic.
Outdoor Kitchens and Bars: Gourmet cooking and entertaining spaces that bring indoor conveniences outside.
PATIOS & DECKS

Outdoor Rooms
Having optional locations or rooms, from which to experience your backyard definitely raises the enjoyment level when friends stop by…or when its just you and the family.
Outdoor kitchens are no longer just about grilling! They now incorporate various cooking elements such as pizza ovens, smokers, griddles, and side burners.
Including a bar area connected to the outdoor kitchen is a trend that continues to grow. It provides a designated space for a drink fridge, and it’s a place to serve drinks, and place appetizer platters for parties.
Fire pits, fire tables, and outdoor fireplaces are also being incorporated into backyards to create a relaxing place to extend the evening.
Create a Theme
It’s important to decide if you would like to have more of a contemporary, natural, or traditional look for your backyard, we match up your color palette, to you home. By unifying the colors and materials it all ties together.
It’s not Grandma’s garden any more!
It’s been about 30 years since higher home values started influencing the construction of landscapes and swimming pools. That’s why landscapes of older homes that haven’t been remodeled yet are often featureless. Backyards have become much more important to the homeowner and their families. It doesn’t appear this trend is going away anytime soon.
