First, consider the intended function of your newly-designed outdoor space and determine where it should be located for convenience. You’ll need easy access from nearby doorways and gates, especially if you’re planning to frequently dine, swim, bathe, or entertain there.
Outdoor kitchens have enduring popularity because they expand the heart of the home into the heart of the outdoors. Enjoy cooking in nature without sacrificing the functionality of a high-quality kitchen. This is the place to add something you’ve always dreamed of: a pizza oven, an oversized smoker, an outdoor refrigerator, or a poolside bar.
Perhaps you’re picturing a new stonework patio surrounding your pool and spa. This is known as hardscaping and provides the structural backbone of a well-designed outdoor space. Your hardscaping is just as important as your landscaping in terms of creating the right atmosphere and dividing areas into comfortable outdoor living areas.
Safety should always be a priority in outdoor spaces, so work with professional builders and electricians to ensure everything is installed according to the highest standards.
