This raised vegetable garden was created with railroad ties. A drip irrigation system was also installed that was easy to use and adjust based on the plant selections to be grown. A decomposed granite pathway was installed around the garden and a planter bed was installed behind the garden to grow up and provide color and screening to the adjacent property.

What’s not to love about this gorgeous Logan Square backyard patio? Rooftopia had the distinct pleasure of designing and building this terrific outdoor retreat for one of our repeat clients as a flexible family friendly extension of their newly rehabbed home. The overall design provides a cohesive environment with plenty of versatile space to enjoy as a family or entertain a large group of friends. Our clients can easily set up an outdoor work-from-home hub, relax after work, spend time playing with their little one, or host a large dinner party. This modern landscape features a luxury outdoor kitchen with high quality aluminum cabinets by Urban Bonfire, and Dekton countertops installed with the help of Stone Masters. The outdoor kitchen also incorporates a stainless steel grill, an outdoor refrigerator and a sink for optimal outdoor dining and entertaining. This sleek and modern pergola integrates metal and wood screening to create privacy, shade and a one of a kind backdrop to surround the outdoor kitchen and hide utilities. The one of a kind ornamental metal screens include chic wall planters for summer herbs and edible plants that can be picked fresh or utilized while cooking. Rooftopia designed and built a custom outdoor fireplace to add a heating element and another layer of luxury ambiance and warmth to the outdoor seating area. New porcelain patio pavers made by Unilock were installed by London Stoneworks. Turf was added to the backyard for a family friendly play area. Other elements that were incorporated in this backyard design include an outdoor LED lighting system for exceptional ambiance in the evening, and seasonal planter boxes to add greenery, soft textures and pops of color with annual flowers rotating throughout the seasons.

This client wanted a no/low maintenance sideward that could be used for outdoor barbequing and an area for the kids to run their bikes. What used to be a treacherous slope down to the adjoining property was rebuilt with a 6’ tall property line wall and then an aluminum screening product from Australia was installed to provide privacy and a sense of enclosure. The herb planters were a fun funky addition to add a vertical element and provide easy access for the edibles. Combining concrete, Corten steel and Aluminum Screening the area will be maintenance free for years to come.
