Transforming your backyard into a functional, beautiful outdoor living space is an exciting venture. It enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home and adds significant value. At Owings Brothers Contracting, we specialize in creating outdoor spaces that spark creativity, relaxation, and entertainment.
A Contractor’s Guide to Success
Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you plan and build your perfect outdoor oasis.
Assess Your Yard
Start by understanding your yard’s potential. Consider the space’s shape, size, and terrain. For example, a small yard might benefit more from compact, multifunctional features like a cozy fire pit area. In contrast, a large, flat yard can accommodate a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and multiple seating areas. It’s crucial to align your design with your home’s existing landscape and architectural style.
Create a Wish List
Identify what you and your family enjoy doing outdoors. Do you love cooking and entertaining? An outdoor kitchen and dining area might be ideal. Do you prefer quiet evenings? A cozy fireplace with comfortable seating could be perfect. Collect photos and ideas to visualize your dream space.

Plan the Layout
Designing your outdoor space requires strategic planning. Consider how different elements will fit together and create a cohesive flow. Consider accessibility, privacy, and how plants or structures can define different zones within your outdoor space.
Choose Quality Materials
Investing in high-quality, durable materials ensures your outdoor space remains beautiful and functional for years. Options like stone, composite decking, and weather-resistant fabrics are excellent choices for various design elements. Using suitable materials can significantly enhance the longevity and appeal of your outdoor space.
Incorporate Greenery
Integrating plants into your outdoor design adds life and color to the space. Consider using native plants for easier maintenance and adaptability to your local climate. Landscaping can provide natural beauty and create a serene environment, perfect for relaxation.

Focus on Comfort
Ensure your outdoor space is comfortable and inviting by selecting ergonomic furniture, adding shade structures like pergolas or umbrellas, and providing heating elements for cooler evenings. Comfortable seating areas and appropriate lighting can transform your backyard into a welcoming retreat.

“We had Owings Brothers do a large extension to our home, which included a new kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and screened-in porch. We were very pleased with both the process and the result. There was good communication throughout, and all the workers were very tidy and friendly. We highly recommend Owings Brothers.”
