Gone are the days when an outdoor kitchen consisted of just a grill, sink, and at most, also including a refrigerator. These days, outdoor kitchens are more elaborate and customized than ever before.
We believe that Outdoor kitchen plans should be personalized for you and your specific lifestyle whether it’s how you like to entertain or what your family regularly enjoys your backyard oasis.
When a retired couple in York, PA wanted to have an outdoor family entertainment area completed, they knew they had to find the right professional for the job.
Outdoor kitchens are a sizzling hot trend in outdoor living. Studies continue to show that outdoor kitchens remain the most requested outdoor feature of a home in Reading and Lancaster, PA, and beyond. But, resale value aside, an outdoor kitchen is a destination location for you and your family to enjoy. It is a space that will help you truly capture the full potential of your outdoor living area.
There’s nothing quite like spending time outside. Now imagine spending even more time outdoors, in virtually any weather and during any hour! This can be achieved with the addition of a structure on your property. Pergolas and pavilions are two such structures that can help enhance your outdoor living experience.
Planting plans provide the “icing on the cake” to all of our Earth, Turf, & Wood outdoor living spaces. Plants must serve multiple purposes: screening, erosion control, providing shade, directing views, space definition, balance, seasonal color, organic texture, filling in difficult spaces, providing an architectural feature, providing a barrier or safety feature, absorbing rainwater runoff, sun/shade orientation, accommodating pets, etc., etc. As landscape architect and professional designer, my task is to meld all of my clients’ desires and their site’s specific criteria along with plants’ criteria to create a beautiful picture.
The one area of design and installation that can literally transform a very nice outdoor environment into a spectacular, never-want-to leave-it, kind of backyard space... is outdoor lighting.
This past spring, I spent several Saturdays chatting with patrons of Bowman Stove and Patio in Ephrata. Quite honestly, my purpose for spending time meeting with outdoor furniture shoppers was primarily to generate new design business for ETW.
We would love to hear from you.
