Improve Your Outdoor Living Space with These 3 Distinctive Features in Powell and New Albany, OH Areas
A Powell or New Albany, OH, outdoor living space can be greatly improved with a fresh landscape feature. Any of the following distinctive outdoor features can greatly elevate your landscape this summer.
A Multi-level Patio
Patio living can take on a new meaning when a landscaper solves the slope problem in your landscape that has prevented you from achieving the kind of outdoor space you really want. The answer can be a custom-designed, multi-level patio.
The main patio, composed of natural stone or patio pavers, can set the tone for the rest of the space. Chosen to blend with your existing home architecture and colors, the floor surface is durable and easy to clean. You won’t have to worry about the kids running in and out onto the patio because your landscaper will place each stone or paver in a tight laying pattern to withstand heavy foot traffic.
Wide, deep stone steps can transition to another level where you can install a grill station and an outdoor dining area for al fresco meals whenever you wish. Your landscaper can design this outdoor kitchen space to include a small refrigerator to keep food and drinks cold, a deep sink for easy cleanup, and plenty of granite counter space for prepping the food.
When you want to be ready to host larger groups with little trouble, consider having your landscaper add a low retaining wall to create privacy and make a connection between the two spaces. Built of companion wall stone and topped with a flat stone like flagstone, the retaining wall can also serve as additional seating and serving space.
Pergola for Dappled Shade
If having some shade on a warm afternoon sounds appealing, your landscaper can add a pergola to any part of your patio for dappled shade. With comfortable outdoor furniture situated beneath it, spending the afternoon reading or working from home can be a more pleasant and beautiful experience.
A Lovely Water Feature
When you want an outdoor feature that will bring a soothing sensory experience, think about adding a water feature. Whether you want to add a water feature to an existing patio or you need an entirely new outdoor space, stepping outside onto the patio with the sounds of spilling water can immediately calm your spirit.
Your landscaper can plan any size water feature. When you have an expansive yard and want something that makes a statement, consider adding a waterfall to an unused part of the landscape. With oversized landscape stone and carefully chosen plants, the waterfall can become a focal point as well as a delight to your eyes and ears. You can choose to add fish to the pond and nearby perennial flowers to complete the look of a colorful and enticing outdoor space.
If your preference is to have a water feature close to the patio, a landscaper can nestle a trio of water fountains in a nearby landscape bed. The fountains can be decorative or blend into space but they will bring the peaceful sounds of spilling water to the place where you can truly relax after a long, busy day.
