Don’t Stop There … Embellish Your Rosenberg TX Patio Design
with Hardscape Amenities
We specialize in creating a custom outdoor living space for each client.
That means no two are alike in the same way that no two homes are alike.
You put your imprint on your patio through the materials you select, the
colors you love, and the hardscape structures you add. An outdoor kitchen,
fireplace, fire pit, and seating wall are some of the hardscapes you might
choose to enhance your outdoor living space and make it uniquely yours.
The Outdoor Kitchen: Entertain Outdoors with Ease
The
outdoor kitchen is all about convenience. While food just tastes better cooked outdoors
and eaten outdoors, having the kitchen on the patio means more than that.
With an outdoor kitchen, no one has to run in and out of the house carrying
food prepared indoors. You can have a refrigerator right there so a cold
beverage is always just a few steps away. Add a bar to that outdoor kitchen
and your guests will perch on bar stools, cocktails in hand, to watch
your wizardry at the grill or smoker. Be sure to include sufficient storage
compartments and food prep space. And don’t forget to include the
kitchen sink.
Where the Magic Happens: The Allure of the Flame
The hypnotic power of an outdoor fire is universal. Would your outdoor
living space be complete without a fireplace or fire pit? Your Rosenberg,
TX, patio designer, Archadeck of Southwest Houston, will help you explore
the options for adding an
outdoor fire feature including a gas-burning or wood-burning fireplace or fire pit. A wood-burning
outdoor fire place with a gas starter gives you the crackling logs you
remember from childhood with the confidence of starting each fire easily.
If you’re looking at a fire pit instead, you’ll be amazed
at the options from lava rock to colored fire glass. Either way, prepare
to be mesmerized by the flame.
Run from the Rain, Hide from the Sun, or Cover Your Patio
The more time you plan to spend outdoors using your patio, outdoor kitchen,
and outdoor fire feature, the more you’ll want to consider a
covered patio. With a roof over your patio, or over some section of it, you can stay
outdoors even when a rain shower pops up. No need to send your guests
scurrying inside. You can enjoy being outside on a sunny day while sitting
under a roof that blocks the sun’s harsh UV rays. Whether you entertain
guests, relax with family, or escape to the patio for solitude, a patio
cover is like insurance. You don’t think about it when you don’t
need it, but when you do need it you’re so glad you have it.
Don’t Leave Off the Pergola
A pergola is primarily a design statement – and it can provide some
shade, too. If you have a patio cover over the entire patio, you won’t
need a pergola, but if the patio is partially or completely uncovered,
a pergola will make it sing. It’s like the finishing touch you didn’t
know you needed until you saw it there. Standing tall and easily seen
from any angle, a pergola can define the boundary of your outdoor living
space. If you want to add a splash of color, drape a wispy, gossamer fabric
across the pergola (and be sure to fasten it down).
Pergolas don’t provide complete shade, but as your custom pergola
builder we can design the structure to provide more or less shade depending
on your preferences. The width and placement of slats and rafters across
the top of the pergola will determine how much shade it can provide. Also
a factor is its orientation in relation to the sun’s path overhead.
As you can see, your custom patio can be a simple resting spot, a dazzling
space for entertaining, or something in between those extremes. For the
patio and hardscapes that bring your outdoor living dreams to life, call
