Patio Seating and Kitchen

October 5, 2021 Peter J

This project, on Hilton Head Island, is a collaborative patio expansion, adding a kitchen, lighting, seating and fire pit.

The existing patio was expanded on the long side by 3′. On one end, the patio was expanded by 10′, and a kitchen is being installed by Summer Breeze Outdoor Kitchens. https://summerbreezeoutdoor.com/

(patio expanded by 3′, patio seating and fire pit added)

Also added is high back seating, using wall block and Bluestone flagstone seat and cap pieces. All corners and edges are rounded, for both a softer look and softer feel (limiting the ouchness brought on by the sharper edges).

The Cedar pergola is a pre-cut kit ordered and installed by the homeowner (with a little help from his friends). (10′ of patio added to existing, pergola by homeowner, kitchen)

Additionally, lighting was added to the seating and the steps down from the upper deck.

Wall block is Tremron Stonegate and pavers are Tremron Olde Towne. Color of both is Sierra.

Another 10′ of seating is to be added, once the materials are again available.

Fire Pits

July 12, 2018 Peter J

Fire Pits come in assorted options of materials, size and fuel source. Here are a few options using natural gas, propane or wood fuel.

The choice of fuel for your Fire Pit can be adapted to your personal preference.

Everyone loves a wood fire. The size of your Fire Pit is also relative to the size of the fire you anticipate having.

Set up seating as permanent, if you’d like. For gas fire pits, a pergola can cover the sitting area, though that is certainly not recommended for wood fires.

Two of the same Fire Pit. One set for Wood and the other for Propane.

Sitting Wall and Steel Planters

July 12, 2018 Peter J

A sitting wall and steel planters were added to a previously installed paver patio. The wall block is of AB (Allen Block) Free Standing Wall block and cap, with a flat cap on the added column, for continued seating and a handsome end to the wall.

Steel planters are custom built and can be made to fit almost any landscape needs.

The sitting wall is the primary intention to finish this patio arrangement. Adding planting boxes gives a continued depth to the area and the possibilities for usage are many. Add annuals, perennials, veggies, herbs, or other plantings. Create additional accents and warmth to the sitting area.
