DUMB Backyard to AWESOME Outdoor Living Space Transformation

Dumb Backyard to Awesome Outdoor Living Space Transformation

Hi Guys, Coming to you today for a happy photoshoot day . . . to show you a Dumb Backyard to Awesome Outdoor Living Space Transformation. Yep, a landscape to outdoor living space transformation in a smaller outdoor courtyard. I can't wait to show off this before and after landscape makeover.

We use creative solutions to be able to pack a lot into a smaller space landscape (dumb backyard). That sounds a bit mean, but our goal is to turn each unusable yard into an awesome outdoor living space. You’ll see in this video we have the current structure, a fireplace that is strategically used to give privacy, and a cool kitchen. We’ll show you how to build a retaining wall to maximize the use of this smaller courtyard space. So here we go - from start to finish - how to transform your landscape to usable outdoor living.

We're going to shoot B-roll as well as a time-lapse backyard outdoor living space all the way through this job and we're going to let you see it all from start to finish.

PROPERTY FEATURES

- COVERED STRUCTURES

- FIREPLACE

- BUILT-IB KITCHEN/MINI BAR

- RETAINING WALLS

- FULL PATIO

LEAN-TO: If you do have the versatility to be able to add a covered structure lean-to’s work to give you a nice destination. Usually you would want to put skylights if they rob the natural light but in this situation it didn't need it 'cause they didn't have lower windows that needed more light. The nice thing is that you can do is to tongue and groove, a fireplace and have a nice destination to draw you out of the house into an awesome covered patio idea.

I do like a lean-to in a certain situation like this (a lean two is attached to the house) and many times I recommend detached structures - but in this situation it acts as a destination itself. The family walks out to their space and that's what I love . . . to encourage homeowners to do to get outside - leave that door and go out into their space and enjoy it together.

KITCHEN RETAINING WALL

Notice this area - we're holding up a lot of earth here - right before the garage - so it's important to make It nice and strong. The block we use is very sturdy – A strong, engineered basically block wall and then we can veneer it all the way through the kitchen up to that 3-foot height. The rest of the walls will be done at 2 1/2 feet tall. It gives us a nice looking finished product using retaining rock/containing block.

AWESOME OUTDOOR KITCHEN CONSTRUCTION

What you see here is the face - a veneer stone. If you turn it to the side you see the grooves that are in it. The block attaches these two - so this job site is going to be a perfect for this material. We're building big walls in this kitchen so the tandem gives us the flexibility to build a strong wall to retain the earth. These clips attach and it's very attractive as you can see.

This common wall material is called a tandem wall is by Belgard who is a nationwide distributor. You should be able to get Belgard wherever you're at. It's a beautiful product to use for retaining but it's also awesome at doing what we see here - outdoor kitchens

MINI BAR

See how out of a little ledge - we have created a cute bar top? Think about these kind of things when you are designing your space - how you can utilize and maximize space to create destinations? We double purposed this little stairway to create a cool bar.

Also, in-ceiling heaters on a timer on the wall. They are wonderful combined with the awesome outdoor fireplace that actually puts out a lot of heat, but if you need the extra heat in the winter time or even in those fall cold nights you can turn the heaters on to create a very comfy outdoor space.

Don’t you love this smaller courtyard space? The transformation made here is all about good design. Make sure to bring in a design to maximize the space usage. Before you try to do this on your own - give us a call if you have any questions. We want to help you and I don't care if you hire us. We wanna help! We will hook you up with videos or comments/solutions.
