Today, almost any activity you enjoy inside your home you can bring to the outside. Depending on your budget, your outdoor room can be simple, with a stamped concrete patio, a grill and a table for dining, or more elaborate with a fully functional outdoor kitchen complete with concrete countertops for preparing and serving food, a sink and a refrigerator. You can take the concept even further by adding such amenities as a concrete pizza oven, a fireplace or fire-pit, a concrete bar-top for serving cocktails, an architectural concrete fountain, landscape lighting and concrete statuary.

We created a unique walkway by using oolite slabs as stepping stones. The crossed sabal palmettos create a natural archway to pass under, and can be covered with orchids and bromeliads. Layering large swaths of low growing plants keeps the design low maintenance. Playing with different leaf textures and sizes creates visual interest, with a pop of color every now and again.
