Outdoor Living Areas: Planning & Design

• Make a sketch of your design or plans. Be sure to include permanent features that are already in place in your current backyard.
• Measure the space you have to work with. It is important to be as accurate as possible so you do not create any backyard features that will not fit into the available space.
• Determine what type of seating your space allows.
• Do you want a fully functional kitchen, or just an area for occasional grilling? From there you can decide what amenities are essential within your budget.
• What kind of entertaining will you be doing? What electrical, lighting, heating or cooling will you need?
• Do your Research! Do some Google image searches, or look on Pinterest for some ideas that inspire your design ideas. Look at layouts, color options, lighting, and seating options.
