Creating Outdoor Multipurpose Entertaining Spaces

last modified: 8 years ago

Hello Houzz Community,

We started this project with a backyard that was not functional or appealing - for entertaining purposes or otherwise.



We added a new, wooden entry landing and steps with aluminum pockets, creating an area big enough to house the barbeque.



To enhance the space, we created two living areas – a raised ‘living room’ platform for lounging in front of the built-in fire feature and a dining area with a seat wall for extra space when hosting a larger event.





The stone edging, complete with the standard hydrangea and heuchera, created a clean look and helps keep the soil and mulch contained in the plant bed.


Adding boxwoods, Annabelle hydrangea, an irrigation system, as well as landscape lighting to illuminate the transition area, finished the look.
