Outdoor Kitchen & Entertainment Dreamscape – Phase I in Florham Park, NJ
This first phase of an outdoor living transformation in Florham Park, NJ focused on creating a functional space for cooking, dining, entertaining, and relaxation. The project included a spacious Techo-Bloc patio, a custom outdoor kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a pergola-covered dining area, a stone veneer fireplace, and thoughtfully designed landscaping that established the foundation for an inviting backyard retreat.
Outdoor Kitchen & Patio Design
The centerpiece of Phase I is a large raised patio designed to accommodate multiple outdoor living spaces. Constructed with Techo-Bloc Monticello pavers in Azzuro and Chocolate Brown, the patio is accented with Antika in Shale Gray and Parisien Chocolate Brown border patterns that create a cohesive and refined appearance.
The custom-built outdoor kitchen features stainless steel kitchen appliances, including a barbeque, refrigerator, and storage area. Generous countertop space provides ample room for cooking, serving, and casual bar seating, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Pergola & Outdoor Gathering Spaces
A fiberglass pergola defines the dining area, creating a comfortable outdoor space that can be enjoyed in both the summer sun and light rain.
Three custom-built steps provide a natural transition between the kitchen and dining area and the spacious seating area surrounding the fireplace, helping to organize the patio into distinct outdoor living spaces.
Fireplace & Entertainment Area
A stone veneer-covered fireplace anchors the main seating area and serves as the focal point for gathering with family and friends.
Complete with a mantel and built-in storage for firewood and other essentials, the fireplace enhances both the functionality and character of the outdoor entertaining space.
Landscape Design & Privacy Planting
A sprawling green lawn extends throughout the backyard and is complemented by colorful plants and ornamental trees that will continue to grow and mature over time.
Evergreens were strategically planted along portions of the property’s perimeter to create privacy, while ornamental tree varieties were placed closer to the patio to provide beauty and shade.
Mini Creta wall block was used to construct portions of the patio walls, while York Pillar Caps in Black Onyx were installed on the pier caps to tie the stone colors together and create a cohesive finish throughout the outdoor living environment.
Continue the Transformation
This outdoor living project didn’t stop here. In Phase II, we expanded the backyard with a custom swimming pool, additional patio space, privacy landscaping, and engineered drainage improvements.
Let’s create an outdoor environment designed for cooking, entertaining, and making lasting memories with family and friends.
