You can transform your landscape into a space for relaxation and entertainment with a number of outdoor luxuries. By incorporating hardscape into your landscape design, you can create a dream paradise for you, your family and your friends to enjoy. Stone luxuries are long-lasting, durable, and beautiful. They can be designed directly into your surroundings. Plus, adding stone into your landscape helps decrease your maintenance so you have more time to relax and entertain.
4 Design Ideas for Stone Luxuries
Outdoor Kitchen
Image having an area where you can cook while you entertain. You can take grilling out back to a whole new level of enjoyment! Outdoor kitchens are quickly becoming the most popular addition to modern outdoor living spaces. Thin stone veneer is a good choice for construction of a full outdoor kitchen area. It’s lightweight, making it easy to work with. And it’s versatile because it doesn’t need a footing or support ledge that requires anchoring. It also has a number of colors, textures, and shapes to create the perfect outdoor kitchen that you want. Include a built-in grill, stove top, pizza oven, sink, refrigerator, and more. Pull some seats up to a wet bar. And because you won’t have the same restraints as an indoor kitchen, you can position your appliances for function.
Pool with Spa and Water Features
Flagstone is beautiful and has a wide range of colors, shapes, and patterns for limitless possibilities when designing the surface area surrounding your pool. Flagstone is a great choice for the pool area because it is flat cut, non-slip and able to handle high traffic. It is a favorite material for building and can be used for a variety of purposes when you want to add luxuries. Build a seating area or a spa. Create an exquisite waterfall feature or a bubbling fountain. Your design can bring a resort atmosphere right into your backyard!
Fire Pit with a Seating Area
After you have spent the day relaxing by the pool, retreat to your own fire pit area to toast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. Fire pits are becoming extremely popular and it’s no wonder with their reminder of childhood camping experiences. They convey an atmosphere of warmth and fun. Plus, they are an economical option for adding luxury without a large investment or a lot of maintenance. Consider an intimate design that frames the area with stone benches while you sit around a pre-manufactured fire pit that is easy to install. Or build a fire pit of your own design using pavers or drystack stone.
Cozy Outdoor Fireplace Retreat
The fall season is not that far away and you might like having an outdoor fireplace to extend your time outside. Imagine being able to kick back and relax while you stargaze and listen to the crackling fire at the same time. Thin stone veneer is a favorite building material for an outdoor fireplace. As we mentioned above, it is lightweight and doesn’t require anchoring. You can design your fireplace as part of an entire entertainment space so you have your kitchen and lounging area all together. Or incorporate it in a separate, quaint area that compliments your garden.
