Spring is finally here, and that means more entertaining and being with friends outside. That also means that you might be looking to create outdoor entertainment areas on your property. Whether you have a small backyard or one spanning several acres, Outdoor Innovations can help you create entertainment areas that will let you entertain with ease and enjoy the wonderful spring and summer seasons.
What do you want from your outdoor entertainment area?
This is the first question that you should ask yourself before starting any project: what do you want? Are you looking for a place to chat and have fun with friends on cool summer nights? A fire pit area may be a great option for you! Do you enjoy playing volleyball, yard games, or swimming? We can help you create an area for that and install a pool with a beautiful surround. Are you just looking to upgrade your current outdoor porch area? You may want to consider landscaping, pavers, and outdoor lighting! All of these outdoor entertainment areas could be an option for your property, but they’re just starter ideas. Outdoor Innovations is happy to work with you to create a custom-designed outdoor entertainment area.
Can I see the design beforehand?
Yes! Outdoor Innovations uses a computerized landscape design program to show you what your finished design will look like before we even begin work. This is very helpful because there are fewer surprises for you. The program will show a full color, realistic image that shows the final design. There may be small changes made along the way, but the basic design will stay the same.
How do I get started?
The best way to get started is to give Outdoor Innovations a call! We are happy to discuss your options, take your wants and needs into consideration, and create a design for you which will give you outdoor entertainment areas that allow you to enjoy yourself with your friends without the hassle.

One thing I have learned when working with customers is that most other companies make it difficult to compare apples to apples when comparing landscaping quotes. Below are some things to consider.
Questions to Ask When Comparing Landscape Companies
1. Are the plants the same size? A lot of companies use really small landscape material to lower the cost. They do not use plants that are in proportion to the space. Ask for sizes on all plant material so you can make a fair comparison. You should never base your decisions on low prices, with the assumption that plant sizes and quality are equal.
2. What variety of plants is being used? It is also important to compare what varieties of plants are being used. For example, a plan packed full of generic low-cost plants can in most cases be of lesser value than a plan with fewer, larger, unique plantings on it. Another example: perennials are going to cost less than bushes.
3. What level of strategy are they using for planting? Value is also obtained by proper planting bed dimensions, plant spacing and installing the right plant in the right place. Ask the designer why they chose to put plants or trees in a particular space. Then listen because they should be able to tell you about sun vs. shade, soil type, size that it will get when mature, maintenance of the plant, etc.
5. Does the plan take into account all the challenges of your yard? Outdoor Innovations plans always take into consideration soil type, drainage, and how existing structure and features on the site will affect the future well being of your plants.
It’s not difficult to make a new landscape look good. The true test is what it looks like 3-5 years afterward. Outdoor Innovations constantly and consistently go above and beyond what is considered acceptable by most other companies and we are more than willing to prove it.
We also take plant quality very seriously, there are hundreds of growers around the country and we know firsthand from visiting these nurseries that there is a very broad range of quality out there. We grow the best and buy the best.
