Patio Idea With Waterfall and Outdoor Kitchen

This patio idea began with the clients wanting an outdoor kitchen.

The kitchen was to include an outdoor grill, counter space for working, storage, and last but not least…a pizza oven! There was also a cut out created for the wood that would be used for this pizza oven.

Waterfalls down a slope look natural.

The existing slope in the area created both challenges and opportunities.

1. The outdoor kitchen island was also able to work as a retaining wall.
2. A water feature with multiple waterfalls fit in perfectly, as the water traveled down and around the slope.

A patio idea is a pond with plants and fish.

The stone facing of the outdoor kitchen island and the patio pavers were selected to compliment each other. The wall has a thermal bluestone cap on the top. You can tell it is thermal when the edges are rough and wavy, as in the photo. In addition, waterfall boulders added to the natural looking design.

The water feature with its tumbling waterfalls and variety of stone ends up in a pond at the patio edge. The pond accommodates water plants, including water lilies, and also fish.

This outdoor kitchen design includes a pizza oven with a storage place for wood. Go to my page on outdoor kitchen island to watch a funny and informative video of a pizza oven.

Plants were selected to provide lots of summer color, since that was the time the area was most used. Ornamental Grasses, Coneflower and Russian Sage were just a few of the perennials used. We also used River Birch, as they look great near water features.
