  1. Your videos are so informative and helpful. We are looking to buy a house right now and want to create a backyard oasis. I'm so glad to hear that you offer design services around the country. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us brainstorm!

  2. I see in many of your videos, patio heaters installed up high and on beams. I’m struggling finding an electric heater that I can wall mount up high and angle into my space that doesn’t have some crazy requirements for minimum clearances. Are you guys using something special? Or are the manufacturer recommended clearances just not realistic?

  3. Awesome videos. Well done,pictures are great,sounds is very good and you have great communication skills…How can someone use your services in Southern California ?

  4. How much do you charge for a consultation? In the desert southwest, shade is important, and the wind can become something fierce, esp in autumn and spring. The last thing you want is to grill in 117 degree heat in the sun. I am trying to do a realistic design based on the climate, heat and weather conditions. I have seen many a backyard here that does not consider the elements in the design including a flop in Summerlin with a great pool well over 200K, but no shade. I know generally what I want, but am finding it difficult to set up a plan for the back yard. TY for your vids. I have a tabula rasa, meaning, my back yard is developer dirt.

  5. Great video! Outdoor TVs make a great outdoor feature for any backyard. I also like how you mentioned the importance of outdoor audio. Having great audio both indoors and outdoors is a really nice touch. Cheers!

  6. Thanks for the engaging and informative videos. The problem we have in the Massachusetts area is the mosquitos especially the last couple years. So much so that it's really unpleasant to be sitting outdoors even with bug spray. I would appreciate a video about how to address that. To many of us here, that is the biggest problem to being outside.

  7. QUESTION I’M IN BOWIE MARYLAND….DO YOU GUYS SERVICE THIS AREA and if not recommended someone for me?

  8. You forgot about safety features. Gate locks, security cameras, fencing to keep out people and wild animals, etc.

  9. Such big sections. Mine much much smaller but I got about 40 square metres of cover deck area. The bar looks like a good addition to the outdoor kitchen I will build. Great for people to hang out while I cook
