Outdoor spa

Once the exclusive preserve of the wealthy, today’s home spas are more reliable, lower priced and more popular than ever before.

Hang a hammock or swing chair

What could be more luxurious than an outdoor afternoon snooze? A backyard (or even indoor) hammock lets you rock at your leisure while catching up on your favourite magazines or some much-deserved shut-eye. No tropical beach required—just two sturdy trees or pillars.

Build a fire pit

We’ve incorporated many firepits into our clients’ homes. But there are plenty of ways you can easily and affordably add a firepit to your current home. Then just gather some chairs around and don’t forget the marshmallows (and mulled wine).

Just add water

Just the sound of water can transport us to faraway more exotic places. From a custom built pond to a DIY water feature kit from your local hardware store, you can easily add some serenity into your backyard.

Fireplace

Nothing says ski resort better than sitting around an open fireplace with your favourite tipple in hand. Take a look at some inspiration here.
