Residential Landscape Architecture – The 4 Most Popular Outdoor Living Space Design in New England
Residential Landscape Architecture – Outdoor Living in New England
When the beautiful summer weather arrives many families abandon their home interiors in favor of the great outdoors. Outdoor living spaces are guaranteed to bring families and friends together for good times and great food. When it comes to residential landscape architecture projects, homeowners often request one or all of the following landscape features to enhance their property and lifestyle.
Pools
Nothing beats cooling off in your own swimming pool on a hot Summer day. Pools offer infinite customization features which express their individuality. Whether you are looking for an exciting way to spend an afternoon or you want a quiet retreat from life’s stresses, swimming pools make a wonderful addition to a home and a very enjoyable focal point to a landscape. We can help you plan the pool design of your dreams that fits your budget as well as your site it to maximize the privacy, views and solar exposure.
The Pool House
A pool house can do much more than provide guests with a private place to change into their swimming suits. They can provide a new level of entertainment to your pool area and upgrade the whole experience by adding a kitchen, bar or living room with fireplace and flat screen television.
Hot Tubs
Hot tubs are a very popular option for homeowners, and it’s easy to see why. Hot tubs allow you to enjoy the outdoors over four seasons. Hot tub features and options include music speakers, televisions, and even light therapy. Hot tubs provide a welcome and daily source of muscular therapy for active adults and are definitely sleep inducing before bed. Imagine soaking in your hot tub, overlooking your private oasis.
Outdoor Kitchens
Cooking out doesn’t have to stop at burgers on the grill. Today, many New England homeowners are taking their outdoor kitchens to the next level. Popular additions include:
- Built-in grills, smokers and cook tops
- Pizza ovens
- Refrigeration
Outdoor kitchens provide some of the greatest customization options, some even going so far as to have retractable sun screens, pergola’s and awnings for all weather enjoyment.
