If your goal is to be able entertaining year-round in your backyard, it couldn’t be easier. A covered deck, patio or pergola attached to the back of your house might be all you need. Or if you have a big backyard you might want to build a freestanding outdoor room – perhaps a pool pavilion with a kitchen and spaces for dining and lounging about – away from the house, making it a destination in its own right. But an entertaining space doesn’t have to be large, lavish or overly structured. Pool surrounds can be turned into an entertaining space with the addition of some comfy sun lounges and an umbrella. In Outdoor Entertaining we look at what you need to create a comfortable and inviting gathering space, from choosing the right furniture, shade solution and barbecue to the latest in garden screening and water features.

Investing in the services of an experienced landscape designer is an investment in your future. It will ensure your garden will cater for your family’s lifestyle, now and for many years to come, and it will add to the value of your property, which will be a boon when the time comes to sell. To inspire you, in Outdoor Entertaining, we showcase a variety of professionally designed outdoor living and entertaining spaces.
