Outdoor Living Spaces – Turning Dead Space into Destinations
Hi Guys – Here we have another Tuesday Tip for you: Backyard Features shares tips on adding destination Firepits and Seatwalls.
To start we have a beautiful, covered structure and outdoor living space. The house is built in an L-shape, so we created this cool courtyard – allowing views into the outdoor living room from every window facing it. Along the paver pathway from the patio backdoor we designed a backyard firepit with custom seat-wall. Firepits are inexpensive features in outdoor living and matching seat-walls are too. They add so much to a backyard and are enjoyed by all ages.
Free Up a Forlorn Empty Space
Todays’ tip is to use a Firepit with a Seat-Wall to strategically free up a forlorn empty space. What better spot? Halfway between the backdoor and the covered structure the combo-feature-frames-in the side yard. It makes sense – beautiful destination – attracting people over to it. Before it was an empty flower bed and unusable space. Now it is a destination spot. Our homeowners love the firepit and the extra hang-0ut for friends & family during spring – summer – and fall events. The man of the house insists this is a year-round space but may take it under cover during extreme winter weather. He says he is ready with both a roaring fireplace wall and extra-hot-ceiling-heaters. Go Huffner Family! https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/outdoor-living-spaces/
Cushions, Pillows, & Comfort – Oh My!
In the Johnson backyard, their new firepit with seat-wall has a backrest and is used to retain the slope. We excavated the slope and use the seat-wall with backrest to retain the earth. It’s a beautiful destination – acting as a frame for the outdoor living space and providing a warm and inviting fun space. https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/outdoor-space/
Big On Entertainment
Fun times ahead for the Boaz family who chose a big seat-wall with seat-backs for around their oblong firepit. Ample pillows for getting cozy adorn this nesting space. A long bar behind the seat-wall is an ingenious idea. While some dine at the bar, others are scattered around the fire, some chatting – others watching the game. It’s a cohesive and useful combination in outdoor living. https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/outdoor-bar-ideas/
Across the Waterfall and to the Firepit We Go!
Next up the Coffey firepit is a real beaut! A hexagon shape with seat-wall surrounding it, a Pergola perched over it, draw you out to sit and gaze at the fire, eat hotdogs and smores, or build memories with friends. https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/outdoor-water-features/
Dynamic Duo For Twice The Fun
A dynamic duo is seen here in the Pendergast property. Right next to the custom inground spa sits a warm-up station . . . a firepit with seat-walls/seat-backs. An useful aspect of seat-walls is their ability to hold platters of food, guests personal belongings and of course, the guests! https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/in-ground-spa/
Light Up Your Life
Mckenna’s firepit with seat wall is round and combined with plenty of shrubs makes a cozy fire setting. The property has a complete modern kitchen with every amenity. Stringing lights above adds a warm glow to the backyard.https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/modular-outdoor-kitchen/
Smores & Popcorn By Firelight

Fun finger foods and lanterns add extra pizzazz. https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/tuscan-style-landscape-design/
Good Friends Gather Round the Firepit
Seat walls DO NOT have to have backs! this is a perfect example of it. The noonbergs & friends are happy hanging out together. Extra firepit stools are available for additional guests. It’s the ambiance, the destination, having plenty of seats . . . https://paradiserestored.com/portfolio_item/backyard-deck/
