Summer is peak season for outdoor entertaining here in the Chicagoland area. With warm temperatures and long sunny days, it’s the ideal time to extend your living space outdoors and take full advantage of your backyard oasis.
At LawnBoyZ Landscaping, we specialize in creating beautiful and functional outdoor living areas that merge seamlessly with your home’s interior aesthetic and lifestyle needs. As a full-service landscape design and installation company, we handle everything from the initial design concept to the final construction details.
Here are some key elements we recommend considering when designing the perfect outdoor living space.
Paver Patios & Walkways A well-designed paver patio forms the foundation for defining distinct outdoor living zones like lounge areas, outdoor kitchens, dining spaces, and more. Our paver professionals can bring your patio vision to life using quality paving stones in your choice of styles, colors, and patterns that complement your home and landscape design.
We also use paver walkways and pathways to connect different areas and guide the flow of movement through your outdoor living spaces. This adds both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Outdoor Kitchens
What better way to enjoy summer dining than preparing meals in a deluxe outdoor kitchen? We design and construct custom outdoor kitchens complete with grills, refrigerators, storage, counter space, and more. Popular features include wood-fired pizza ovens, bars, sinks, and built-in ice makers/beverage chillers.
Lounge and Dining Areas
Make the most of your outdoor living space by dedicating separate areas for lounging, al fresco dining, and gathering with guests. We can design cozy conversation pits with paver or deck surfaces and built-in seating for casual lounging. For dining areas, we’ll construct a dining patio with space for a table set up and adjacent outdoor kitchen.
Pergolas
A pergola is the perfect shady retreat for your outdoor living room or kitchen. These vertical structure features columns or posts with an open lattice roof design. We can customize pergolas to include options like retractable canopies, fans, misters, lighting, and more.
Fire Pits
Extend your outdoor living season into the fall by adding a fire pit or fireplace to your design. Ideal for creating a warm, welcoming ambiance for cooler evenings. We offer a range of fire pit and fireplace styles from rustic to modern to match your aesthetic.
Shade Structures
While soaking up that summer sun, you’ll also want a shady retreat to cool off. We offer a variety of shade solutions like pergolas, cabanas, awnings, and more. These provide shade and can even have integrated features like fans, misters, or space heaters to extend use into spring and fall.
Landscape Design
Proper landscape design and plantings are essential for creating an inviting outdoor environment. From lush lawns to flowerbeds, shrubs, trees, and more, our designers will develop a cohesive landscape plan that enhances and complements your outdoor living areas with color, texture, fragrance, and shade when desired.
Lighting and Accent
Elements Great outdoor lighting is a must for setting the right ambiance and allowing you to enjoy your space once the sun sets. We install landscape lighting, bistro string lights, fire features, water features, and more to create the perfect evening vibe. Ambient and accent lighting also highlights key areas while ensuring safety.
