Recently Completed Projects

Through our blog, Outdoor Environments hopes we serve up deck-design inspiration on many levels, whether you’re choosing accents for your deck (like the dreamy outdoor love seats we blogged about last week) or over-the-top features to warm up your space, like a Bocce ball court, meditation garden or canopied daybed.

But today we wanted to share some of our own residential projects, ones in which we’ve had the pleasure of fulfilling the dreams of our clients, which is one of our biggest inspirations.

Case in point: Take a look at the project below; for these homeowners we pulled out all the stops, from an open-air covered porch perched above a deck spa and bar, to a cozy outdoor fireplace, tile-surfaced deck and  outdoor grilling station. And that’s in addition to an enviable landscape that includes lush green lawns and open horizontal views.

In a recent post, we covered some Dreamy Outdoor Spaces to give our clients and readers some inspiration. Today, we thought we’d share a few more spaces worthy of a second glance, courtesy of HGTV. Here are a few examples of how hardscaping and landscaping combine for a harmonious design.

Perfect for entertaining, this space offers respite in both the sun and shade.

An empty, soulless backyard in its previous life, this pleasing patio has been transformed into an elegant and visually interesting space the homeowners enjoy with family, friends and guests.

An outdoor kitchen, fireplace and sitting area — with killer views, we might add — is accessible from this home’s basement, patio and driveway.
