Sometimes unexpected obstacles turn up during projects, as was the case for this outdoor entertaining area. Originally, it was going to be a multi-level deck area replacing an old porch made of pressure-treated wood on a concrete slab. However, during permitting, it was discovered that the home’s existing well and septic fields were not located on the property where the plat showed them to be. Because of that, feasibility tests had to be run to determine a new location, the existing septic and well systems had to be shut down and reconstructed before the new patio could be created.

Once that was completed, the items the homeowners wanted on the outside entertaining area could be added. These included an outdoor kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertop, a wood-burning fireplace and pit, copper gutters, coffered ceilings, recessed and spot lighting and dry space under the decking. Faux stone was used throughout as edging. All the materials used on this space are weather resilient for low maintenance.
