From the lovely elevated deck to the spacious ground level patio, this project perfectly displays a great combination of defined hardscaping and elegant decking. We absolutely love the feel this project gives off, open and clean, yet articulate and defined. With unprotected space to lounge underneath the open sky, and a fireplace as well as a built-in fire-pit to sit by, this project is ready for a gathering. The sheltered area underneath the deck is a great little spot to hide from the elements while still enjoying the outdoors! Up top, the deck is equipped with a grill, storage shelving, and pull out trash can, perfect to host a family dinner.

beside this expansive backyard pool is the impressive outdoor kitchen! it features a 10' long granite top island sheathed in natural slate rock. its complete with high end outdoor appliances including a 60" bbq, a pizza oven, a refrigerator and a sink and ice maker
