DESIGN YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE ON LBI
Outdoor Living Only
Possible on LBI
Outdoor living spaces should feel natural, inviting, and designed for everyday use. Our team takes the time to understand how you want to live outdoors, whether you’re hosting summer cookouts, unwinding by the fire, or enjoying morning coffee on a quiet terrace. We transform those ideas into functional spaces tailored for Long Beach Island.
Every outdoor environment we design blends performance and beauty. Materials are selected for their ability to withstand salt, sun, and wind. Furniture is chosen for durability and comfort. Layouts are created to maximize views and define purposeful areas for cooking, dining, and relaxing. The result is a cohesive outdoor living experience that elevates your property and enhances your lifestyle year-round.
Our outdoor living design process
The Evolution of Outdoor Living
Modern outdoor living has evolved far beyond patios and picnic tables. Advances in materials, technology, and design have opened the door to fully realized exterior environments: spaces that perform as perfectly as they look and function with the same sophistication as your home’s interior. Today’s outdoor living areas are equipped with high-quality appliances, durable coastal materials, and furniture designed to withstand the elements without sacrificing comfort or style.
To achieve this, we take a thoughtful, holistic approach: studying how your family lives, how your home is built, and how your property behaves throughout the day and across the seasons. We plan every outdoor environment with careful consideration of:
Lifestyle
How you plan to use the space , from everyday family living to summer entertaining, grilling, lounging, dining, or gathering around a fire.
Architecture
The architectural style, materials, proportions, and character of your home, ensuring every outdoor element feels intentionally connected.
Property Traits
Your property’s unique conditions: sun exposure, prevailing winds, privacy needs, grade and drainage, access points, and existing landscape features.
Outdoor kitchens & Grilling areas
