Stay warm on cool nights with an outdoor fireplace

We are enjoying the cooler evenings and anticipate the long evenings spent outside this fall.  To really enjoy the cool weather, it is nice to cozy up with an outdoor fireplace.  

An outdoor fireplace is so much more as something to keep us warm when outside.  It becomes a gathering space for long chats or drinks with friends.  It is a place for your family to get unplugged from all the technology inside and enjoy each other outside.

Preferred has been designing and installing outdoor fireplaces for years and we would love to help you design your outdoor hardscape.  Give us a call at 657-7737.

Al Fresco Dining

Outdoor cooking continues to grow in popularity and it is more than just the basic grill.  Outdoor kitchens have been getting bigger and contain the same amount, if not more, of appliances we have indoors.  Outdoor kitchens are now equipped with brick ovens for pizza making and beer taps for the big party.

If you are ready to start your cooking outdoors and would like help designing your dream outdoor kitchen, please give us a call at 210-657-7737.

Need More Space?

Socializing will move back outdoors as the temperature starts to fall.  Now is the time to consider an upgrade to your outdoor living space.  Outdoor living spaces not only add value to your home, they provide your family with a place to entertain and socialize.  The trend is bigger is better, the outdoor living space is expanding taking up more of the yard.

 These are pictures from a client who wanted several different areas to socialize and enjoy the outdoors.  We love the mix of materials used to create the bi-level space.

Breathtaking Views!

Our favorite part of our jobs is helping people make their landscape dreams come true.  These Before and After pictures are from a recent project in which the clients wanted to create an outdoor living space that took advantage of the beautiful views they had of the hill country.

Our team of landscape designers, created a plan that included a two tier deck that extended to two sides of their home.  It also included a patio space and stone work as well as a bit of softscape as well.  The clients were thrilled with the end result and the views are even more breathtaking than before!
