A beautiful built-in grilling area we built in 2017. Love how this Bull grill gleams, like a diamond in it's perfect setting. .
.
Thinking it deserves an ode:
How I love you, outdoor grill
Tasted many of your delights
But want more still!

Here's a close up of the main patio, with a glimpse of the boulder fire pit in the background. .

Separating your outdoor areas gives space for your guests to naturally gravitate to their people. For instance, the fire pit area would be a favorite place for teens to hang out while the grownups have dinner and drinks on the main.

New angle of the same pit previously posted. This gas fire pit has some serious flame!🔥We see a trend of more people choosing gas ring fire pits instead of woodburning. . .Would you go for the nostalgia and crackle of a wood burning fire pit, or the convenience of gas?

The builder left these massive boulders in the back of our clients yard, and Clive thought they'd be the perfect setting for their fire pit area. So glad they agreed!

Very last photo of this Charlotte cabana project we've been featuring. It shows the same view as the previous post, but taken in the daylight. Really demonstrates what a difference lighting makes!

One of my favorite photos of this custom cabana. Thank you #BruceSaundersPhotography for capturing the beauty! All but the pool, designed and built by the OA team. Great work guys! 🤗 This pool house looks like it belongs at a lux resort. I can't wait to share photos of the one you are working on now. . . .

A cool shot that shows the side of the stacked stone fireplace and gives a good glimpse into the cozy interior of this outdoor living room. 📸 I'd like to spend my Friday night here!

A great shot of the beautiful custom cabana ceiling Jason, our lead carpenter, designed and constructed with his team. You can see the outside structure of this cabana in previous posts. 📸 Photo by #brucesaundersphotography .

Here's a closer look at the inside of this craftsman cabana we designed and built last year using #roughsawn pine timbers. Everything about this space invites you to come on into your outside living room, but my very favorite feature is that warm wood ceiling!

Had to share a pool shot in honor of the first day of summer for our kids! This is a cabana and hardscape addition we were working on this time last year. We did not install the pool, but sure would love to jump in!

To end our week featuring circle patios, thought I'd share an outdoor living space that Clive designed with a strong circular theme. .

Here's a large Tuscan inspired circular patio, with a second patio inset. I ❤ the rustic look of the stone in the seatwall veneer, and seeing the teams craftsmanship on those handchipped caps!
.
.
For the main patio we used Belgard Mega Rustic Slab pavers, with a Cambridge Cobble Edisto soldier border. The smaller patio is decorative gravel with a special solution that locks the stones in place. We created this smaller patio for our customers zero gravity chairs (not pictured here). Now they have a designated space to sit back and look up at the stars.

Continuing with our circular patio theme . . . thought I'd share a close-up of a paver patio and seatwall we completed 4 years ago. The boulders and landscaping we installed give the space a more natural look, inspite of the manufactured pavers and block used. Check out those paver cuts around the boulders!
.
.
The clients we built this for have since moved to a new home, but told us they were able to sell their home faster, and for more $$$ than the comps, in part, because of the backyard makeover we had completed. 😊

Another project we built with a circular patio, but this one uses three different Belgard pavers for a more elaborate pattern. Jason designed the custom trellis in the background with a circle inset to tie in with the circular theme. ☺

Here's the same multilevel patio as last post, but taken from the lower patio. The landscaping beautifully compliments this hardscape, adding color and some softer texture. Clive will forever remember this project for the huge bear hug his client gave him during the final walkthrough. Gotta ❤ contractor appreciation!!!
.

BTW, I was mistaken about the materials in my last post, so have gone back and corrected it.😊 We used Belgard Celtic Wall in Sheffield for seatwall and Pavestone Earthblend for the pavers.

Another outdoor living space we designed and installed using Belgard Celtic Wall, Sheffield color, and a Pavestone circle kit in Earthblend. LOVE how the paver patterns add interest and subtly send your eyes around on a little tour 🙄...

There is something so sweet and inviting about this circular patio Jason designed and installed years ago. It's been awhile since we posted such a simple space, really too long! Whether you have a large project budget or not so large, with some thoughtful attention to design and a quality installation, you can transform your yard into a very special space. 😊 A place that makes you smile!

Here you can see right into the built-in grill area with high seat bar, while also getting a good side view of the fireplace. Notice the details in the stonework and the thickness of the hand chipped counters. These little details make a big difference in the beauty and uniqueness of a space! .
.
Side note: We are often told our prices are higher than our competitor's, which is likely true. But we try and remind potential clients to not just compare prices, you have to compare service reputations, design work, quality of the materials and craftmanship. We can't create the highest quality custom spaces, on production budgets. We tried once 😓, but quickly realized that it's not sustainable. So we charge what we must in order to continue to design and build exceptional structures and spaces. We are so grateful to have plenty of customers who understand this, so we can continue to do what we love. 🤗 THANK YOU! .

A panoramic shot of the project we've been featuring this week. Hoping this photo provides context for the different elements in this outdoor living space. You can see close-ups by looking at the last five posts on our feed. Owner, Clive designed and Johnny's team did the installation. Great work team!🙌
