Planning your perfect outdoor space

What is outdoor living?

Outdoor living in its simplest form is defined as extending your living experience outdoors. It’s about curating a space in your backyard that is meant for relaxation, comfort, and creating a space to spend time with those you love. Outdoor living can be as glamorous or as laid back as you choose to make it. And we have the products and ideas that can help you with whatever your vision is for your outdoor living space.

Creating your space

The first step to creating your outdoor living space is assessing your yard and landscape to figure out what is possible. Whether it’s a deck, stone pad, a nicely landscaped path, a pergola, a short stone wall, or flower beds, the options are endless.

With Barkman or Belgard bricks, you can customize your space to fit whatever your vision is. With brick options that have clean and crisp lines, circle kits, flagstone, or textured stone, you can find something that is perfect for your space.

 

Patio Furniture

If you’re crafting a space outside to relax, entertain, and unwind, you’re going to need somewhere to sit. Thinking about what your main goal for your outdoor area is going to help guide what kind of furniture you need. If it's to relax, be cozy and comfortable, a patio couch might be what’s best for you! Whether you go with a sectional style or a couch and chairs style depends on your preference. (The sectionals are great for napping on though, just saying.)

If your goal is to entertain, host backyard BBQs, or have the family over for an outdoor dinner party, a patio table or dining set will be the most practical option for you.

 

Barbecues

Speaking of hosting dinner parties and backyard BBQs, you’ll actually need a BBQ (or smoker) to do that! Based on the amount you plan to host, the functions you need, and your price range, there are a variety of different options.

 

Firepit or table

No chill summer night on the patio with your glass of wine would be perfect without the warmth of your firepit or fire table. If a fire table is more your style, we have rectangular, square, and circular options to fit in your space no matter the size. If a firepit matches your vision more, we have multiple stone brick options to choose from. Whether you want a more natural look or modern look, we can help you create it.

 

Patio Décor

No space is complete without décor. Adding throw pillows, outdoor rugs, shade umbrellas, plants, and décor are great ways to cozy up your outdoor living space and really make it feel like your own.
