Pools
Whether you’re lounging with a book or hosting a backyard barbecue, a pool installation can add value — and wow factor — to a property. Installations of pools surged during the pandemic, the attraction of having a private pool as alluring and refreshing as a holiday. From naturalistic water features to lighting and fire pits, the options for your backyard are endless. You’ll want to work with an experienced pool builder who can help you design and construct the perfect pool for your space. Check Flintstones’ transformation of this steeply sloping yard into a tiered outdoor oasis complete with pool, hot tub, dining and kitchen space.
Kitchens
Imagine sizzling steaks on a grill, prepping fresh salads on a spacious stone countertop, and enjoying a delicious meal alfresco with friends and family. An outdoor kitchen is the epitome of West Coast luxury and convenience, and the perfect outdoor kitchen will strike a balance between style and functionality. From built-in grills and pizza ovens to refrigeration, beverage dispensers and storage, your outdoor kitchen can match your culinary ambitions. For this Broadmead home, an outdoor kitchen was a true extension of their home, allowing them to host meals outside all year around.
Outdoor Structures
Elevate and extend your outdoor living experience with the luxury of a covered outdoor structure. These innovative and practical structures provide versatility to any outdoor space. Whether seeking shade on scorching days or inviting a gentle breeze, a louvred pergola allows you to control sunlight and ventilation with adjustable louvres. It can add a sleek architectural element while ensuring a comfortable, year-round retreat. Find out how Flintstones built this existing gazebo and pergola, or how the addition of a louvred pergola created a space these homeowners could enjoy all year.
Lighting
With the right lighting, your outdoor haven becomes a versatile retreat, seamlessly transitioning from daylight to dusk. Well-placed lights can redefine the ambiance, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxation or entertaining guests after the sun sets. Subtle pathway lights guide you through the garden, while strategically positioned uplights accentuate architectural features and foliage. String lights suspended overhead can evoke a cozy, intimate feel, perfect for dining al fresco. Additionally, smart lighting systems allow for customization, enabling you to adjust colours and intensity effortlessly.
Hardscaping
Hardscaping plays a vital role in transforming your outdoor space into a visually stunning and functional area. Consider adding a beautiful stone patio, walkways, or retaining walls to create distinct zones within your backyard, like this whimsical backyard in Saanich where the homeowners put their creativity on full display. Incorporate natural materials like slate, granite, or flagstone to bring a touch of elegance to your outdoor oasis. A new deck can provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. With the right hardscaping elements, your outdoor space will become an extension of your home.
