This project was just completed and has some interesting design aspects that I thought you’d like to know about.

Outdoor Covered Kitchen

There was a traditional patio area installed right outside the back door with a shade cover. The larger patio, however, was put in the corner of the large yard with a connecting walkway. It also has a shade cover, built with extra engineering for strength since it is not supported by the house. In addition to the general garden lighting, this patio roof also has several light fixtures which are controlled by a switch outside the back door. Combined, the patio spaces provide lots of area for people to sit during a larger party.

The outdoor kitchen was also install under the shade cover in the larger patio area along with bar seating for four to six people. There is room for a table and chairs as well but, just like an indoor kitchen, much of the socializing tends to take place at the bar when the cooking is going on. This type of design approach also helps to keep the cook from being shut out of the conversation.

There is a good sized lawn area for the children to play in, a veggie garden area and perimeter planters to soften the fence. A key feature is the putting green which is made of synthetic grass to avoid maintenance. Since the client is an avid golfer, this was a very

important item.

We have been having some beautiful weather lately but the official start of spring is moving up fast. It has always been my opinion that the best time to get outdoor projects done is before the best months for outdoor living arrives and this is a perfect example. We put as much care as possible into every project so our clients are thrilled with the final result.
