Enjoy All that Outdoor Living Has to Offer

Outdoor Living Areas from Outdoor Innovations

Fall offers cooler and more comfortable temperatures, which gives us the opportunity to spend some much needed time in the outdoors. There is no better way to do this than in your own outdoor living area from Outdoor Innovations. You can enjoy all that outdoor living has to offer right in your own backyard. Recently, the team at Outdoor Innovations completed a new outdoor living space for one of our clients. In this case, the client gave Ken and the team ideas of what they wanted to see in their space, providing for some creative freedom, and the collaboration turned into this beautiful example of what outdoor living can be! See our latest video below:

Features of This Outdoor Living Space

This space will serve the family very well as the fall season approaches! It includes these features:

Raised Bar Island: This client wanted a nice area for the family to sit and enjoy their big screen TV while they have a bite to eat or enjoy a beverage. The team added a beautiful raised limestone bar island to which attractive bar style chairs were eventually added.

Seat Wall & Raised Planter: To add beauty to the three large deck poles behind the raised bar island, the team installed the seat wall and raised planter to serve as a resting place as well as to display colorful flowers to brighten the area.

Paver Area (near grill): Manufactured by High Format, this paver area was placed between the concrete pad that already existed, and the paver patio beyond. Adding a visual boost the the grilling area, these 30×30 square, large slab pavers give off just the right touch in the right spot.

Pellet Grill: Manufactured by Coyote, this pellet grill is sure to please. For this grilling area, we installed the pellet grill into an island, that also includes a drop in cooler, and will also feature a enclosed trash bin. Setting up this family for some fun outdoor cooking, and wonderful shared meals.

Paver Patio With Vinyl Pergola & Gas Fire Pit: This area really speaks for itself! The large paver patio provides a large area for entertaining. Surrounded on two sides by a seat wall, this area is made for the fall season. Cozy up next to the warm fire in the gas fire pit, inside this stunning vinyl pergola. There are memories to be made in this space for sure!

Concrete Pad: We installed a concrete pad so in the near future this family can enjoy a hot tub/spa in this space. This will be a favorite spot for all, we have no doubt!

Serving Island: This island also has a great limestone countertop, and features a outdoor refrigerator, drop in cooler, and trash bin. Entertaining will be a breeze with these added features. Let the good times roll!

Cobalt Blue Pots: We think these marvelous blue cobalt blue pots we found for our client are the icing on the cake for this space. They add the finishing touch bringing the overall look together. If you like these we can find something special just for you too.

We all know the importance water plays in everyday life. It is one of the basic elements that all people, plants, and animals need to survive. However, water also has another effect on many people, it reduces stress and evokes memories of places we have been or thoughts of places we would like to go.

Creating your own private backyard fire feature can be more affordable than you may think and also comes with certain advantages.

How Does a Fire Feature Benefit Your Outdoor Entertainment Area?

One main advantage of having a permanent location for your fire features is that we can customize it to your specific needs. A customized fire feature is also more aesthetically pleasing to be around and is typically safer than most portable units.

Poolscaping

Poolscaping is a term used to describe how the area around a pool is enhanced to complement the pool itself.

With work and family schedules becoming increasingly hectic, a trend towards wanting an enjoyable, relaxing vacation style environment available anytime that is located just steps out your backdoor has more people choosing to invest in their homes and outdoor spaces in place of expensive, short-lived vacations that can have questionable outcomes.

Benefits of Custom Poolscaping

If a swimming pool is within your budget, make sure to remember that how you complete the area around the pool is equally as important as the pool itself.

The area around the pool should not only be functional but also should be a direct reflection of your lifestyle.

We will work with you to determine how you plan to use this area and what features would create the lifestyle that you deserve.

  • Shade Structures
  • Outdoor Kitchens
  • Lighting
  • Heat Sources
  • Plantings
  • Furniture
  • Fire Features

This is why we have become the Quad Cities landscape contractor of choice when quality and experience are a top priority.

Outdoor Lighting

LED lights for virtually every outdoor application including decorative paths, low profile hardscape lights, water features, decks and patios, and accent lighting.

There are a lot of uses for outdoor lighting: security, accents, safety, and more. You need to make sure you have the right light for the job and Outdoor Innovations can assist you with those decisions.

Security

When you mention security lighting, some people think about floodlights in a prison yard or spotlights. You can protect your home and property with attractive looking lights that will still fill the area with a high-intensity light. We can work them into the surrounding landscape, so they are unobtrusive until they are needed.

Safety

If you have walkways and steps, proper lighting is a must. Trip and fall injuries are the #1 claim on homeowners’ insurance. Our lighting systems can use low wattage lights or solar lights to keep your pathways lit, without running up your electric bill.

Accents

Your home and property can be lit with lighting that is both useful and decorative. Let the designers at Outdoor Innovations work with you to make the most out of the available lighting possibilities. We want to make your place stand out both day and night.

Contact us today to learn more about all the lighting options we have for your home and landscaping projects. We have the experience and creativity to make your place look unique and beautiful. We look forward to working with you to make your home or business a showpiece in the area.
