Small outdoor kitchen

Finished phase 2, the outdoor kitchen.

Working out details during the design phase.

St. Andrew United Methodist Church Columbarium and Meditation Garden completion! Nestled in a sloped bank next to the on campus pond, the curved shaped walls reverberate the sound of the water fountain which can be heard more clearly when walking the prayer labyrinth. Great place to sit and reflect.

Design for a raised outdoor kitchen in Austin, Texas. Appliances include a grill with access doors, side burner and sink with access doors. Additional features include back splash lighting and bar. There is space for a trash receptacle or refrigerator as well. Main eating area is at the bottom of the steps.

The final component in updating the back yard for the kids' new interest was a kick board to practice soccer. We built the kick board using cement board supported by 4"x4" posts and treated lumber framing on the back side. White painted border is the outline of a soccer goal. Artificial turf provides a year round smooth surface where the grass won't grow. Perfect for the kids to practice kicking soccer ball.

Fall color. A mix of mums, lantana, oxalis, begonia and potato vine.

Datura... I've been pleasantly surprised with this beauty. Its come back each year from the ground. It does tend to reseed easily but pulling unwanted seedlings is not difficult.

First project with artificial turf. Works well where grass won't grow or for a sports area... good for pets too!
