An outdoor bar doesn’t just have to involve a simple serving station or standard hardscaping layout.

For many homeowners, a landscape would not be complete without the inclusion of one or more functional areas. From outdoor kitchens to open-air living rooms, you have plenty of options at your disposal. While the right design concept, features, and appliances are important, it’s essential to define landscaping spaces in order to ensure they will actually be used. Establish outdoor spaces with proper hardscaping and practical plantings, or a smart combination of the two. Don’t let your outdoor areas fall flat – create definition in your landscaping spaces for long-lasting satisfaction.
A well-designed landscape can include stunning plantings, beautifully terraced walls, garden spaces, sculptures, and more. With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the details – and forget to enjoy the overall vision. Using landscaping to create one or several outdoor rooms will allow you to appreciate the scenery for hours on end while lending an entirely new functional element to your yard. Admire your landscape and take your most-loved indoor activities outside with an outdoor room.
