Patio Idea With Waterfall and Outdoor KitchenThis patio idea began with the clients wanting an outdoor kitchen.
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.
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.
