Effortless Outdoor Living

About

The homeowners envisioned effortless outdoor living to complement their new pool and create an inviting space for entertaining. Their goals included a large open patio, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a gas fire pit, all designed with deer-resistant, low-maintenance landscaping for effortless enjoyment.

After exploring multiple design concepts and refinements, the final layout delivers a seamless open-concept space with plenty of room to gather and unwind. A spacious patio constructed with Oaks Nueva Slab pavers in Marble Grey is framed by rich Oaks Market Paver borders in Onyx, creating a clean yet striking contrast. The raised gas fire pit is thoughtfully positioned closer to the home, offering a cozy focal point that naturally draws people together. A large outdoor kitchen, built with Oaks Nueva 150 wall blocks in Marble Grey and finished with coordinating Nueva coping in Marble Grey and Onyx, anchors the space and provides everything needed for outdoor entertaining.

To complete the project, deer-resistant, low-maintenance plantings were installed around the perimeter of the pool area, softening the hardscape while delivering a polished, finished look. The result is a tranquil backyard retreat that feels luxurious, functional, and perfectly tailored for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
