Elements to Consider:Patios & Walkways•

Fire Elements (Fireplaces, Firepits, Fire Tables)• Creates warming ambiance, night time entertainment, structural focal points, & functional cooking surfaces
Water Features (Ponds, Waterfalls, Pondless Waterfalls, Fountains)• Creates calming sounds and atmosphere, brings in nature, & adds a natural aesthetic to the space
Lighting• Warms the entire space & brings life to the landscape into the night, & adds security to your space
Plantings• Softens and defines all spaces, connects architectural features to the yard, & offers seasonal beauty and variety
Kitchens• Creates a fully functional outdoor living and entertaining space
