My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hardscape Patio
Photo
Unsure if we are going to work in an overhang or not, but if we do have any beam supports like this I can get bourbon barrels. Then they'd become usable areas for cups and stuff.

Unsure if we're going to use any privacy screening but this looks nice

This bar looks awesome. Looks like a bourbon barrel. This is probably my favorite picture I've found.

If we work in a wood fence between yards I thought it would look cool to string these lights to connect the grilling/bar and dining areas. Instead of those mini shelves I could get bourbon barrel heads to break up the monotonous fence look.

I like the table, lights, and wood/stone vibe of this picture

another example of the heavy wood table I'm imagining. My idea is probably a bit wider than this one.

I thought this bourbon barrel fire pit element was pretty cool. Never seen one like this before.

This table is kinda what i have in mind... big heavy wood slab.

This is actually pretty sweet and could function as a way to screen the patio area

I like this two-couch seating area around the rectangular fire table. I think that's more usable than a wood burning "pit". Not necessary to frame it in as much as this picture shows. But we talked about creating various areas (grilling/bar, dining area, sitting area).

String cafe lights

More string lights. Also like the oversized wooden table. I'd like to have a big 8-person table area. I'd work in two benches and maybe two end chairs. I have a guy who can handcraft a big oversized table with a big wooden slab.

I like this style of cafe string lights. Would love to be able to incorporate them on a dimmer somehow.
Q

I like the grill area and asymetrical shape of the patio itself
Q

I like the big stone slab look. Fire element is pretty cool too.
Q

I like the stone wall look of this bar and the built in grill area. The undermount lighting is cool.
Q

I like the fire element. I've seen one similar with wider "table" area and they had couches on either side for sitting area.
Q

I like the tree planter idea.
Q

I like the curved wall because it isn't a fully enclosed area. If it was a built-in bench wall that would be better.

I like the curved bench wall.
Q

We talked about openings in the wall and this kind of shows that. But I'd want to work those gas lights we talked about into the project somehow.

This is too enclosed. I've seen even more extreme enclosed areas and I don't like that look.
Unsure if we are going to work in an overhang or not, but if we do have any beam supports like this I can get bourbon barrels. Then they'd become usable areas for cups and stuff.
