Durable Outdoor Hardscaping and Landscaping
Ensure a lasting outdoor living investment with weather-resistant hardscaping that withstands Chicago’s temperature swings without cracking or warping, and native plants that survive and thrive from season to season in the area’s weather extremes. Expand usable space with patios and decking. Enhance privacy and ambiance with raised beds, vertical garden walls, and fencing. Improve functionality with built-in kitchen cabinetry, furnishings, and other custom wood features, creating a space that seamlessly transitions from indoors to out, complements your home’s architecture, and reflects your personal style.
Outdoor Shelter
An outdoor shelter is essential to maximizing outdoor kitchen and dining space use. Choose from budget-friendly retractable awnings and shades, fixed-roof pavilions, or adjustable-roof pergolas that can withstand Chicago rain and snow, with built-in gutters and drainage to prevent puddling and protect furnishings. Incorporating built-in radiant heaters and fans ensures comfort and extends use through much of the region’s coldest and hottest months.
Backyard Water and Fire Features
Upgrading and enhancing your space with a built-in gas fireplace, fire pit, or fire table offers instant warmth on chilly evenings. Fountains and water features mask city noise and enhance relaxation.
Layered Outdoor Lighting
Ensure reliable evening use with a layered, low-voltage outdoor lighting scheme. Dimmable lighting lets you switch between managing outdoor kitchen tasks and creating the perfect ambiance for dining alfresco. String lights and uplighting on trees and architecture create a magical, immersive atmosphere, while pathway and stair lighting ensure safety and ease of movement.
