Who says the best things come in small Packages? Now that’s a front door delivery you don’t see everyday! Hey Team Paradise, smile! This is a landscape first, eh? 3500 lb pizza oven . . . Well done Guys!
It’s a beautiful Day in the Neighborhood! Yes, the neighbors were all-in to watch this once in a lifetime event! Well, quite honestly, the streets & sidewalks were closed. (Can you say, captive audience? Ha!) The power in the neighborhood was shut down as well, so safety first . . . spectacle second. Let’s see what was going on in the neighborhood:
Outdoor Living Structures – Attached/Detached?
To attach, or not to attach, that is the question. Have you ever considered what’s best for your landscape? Probably not. Since the explosion of Outdoor Living, Covered Structures should be a first consideration. Let’s investigate, shall we? “A picture is worth a thousand words” so I’ll cut the chit-chat in favor of examining ‘real-life’ Covered Structures. Afterall, other homeowners have already gone through the process and made a choice. Good plan, eh?
Attached Covered Structures
If you want to extend your homes’ living area, an attached covered structure might be right up your alley. Like The Smith Family. The roofing material and supporting structure blend seamlessly with the house and the newly added French doors provide easy access. Plenty of extra space and light . . . plenty of get-your-outside-happy-on. Incredible
Detached Backyard Structures
We are partial to detached covered structures. Amble through our portfolio and you’ll see many variations. Of course, we are going to show off a few on why we like ’em and the reasons why detached covered structures are a good choice. Our homeowners must think so too.
Takin’ it Poolside
Let’s face it, there are Pool-People and there aren’t. (How’s that for waxing-poetic?) But the simple fact is, when you have a pool, you live a pool-life. You don’t quite know if you have real friends, or if it’s all about your pool. Long after the pool-seekers vamoose, you have the reward of upkeep & maintenance. Sound negative? Not at all. It is – what it is. At Paradise Restored, we think ‘Pools are tops’ in water-feature-heaven. And Pool-People get it. They just get it.
There’s Something about Soaking in a Spa
It’s a Spa-life for me, how ’bout you? The hot water and jets take you on a body/mind escape to help you unwind in a way that’s hard to replicate. Stress results in muscle tension, headaches, fatigue and soreness. Hot tubs, with a combo of buoyancy, heat and massage relieve tension and stress. Hence, they become people-magnets and don’t get me started on kids and hot tubs! Can you say wrinkled fingers?
Pools, Spas, Ponds, Waterfalls, and Fountains – Cool you off and help you Chill out! Let’s give it a whirl, eh? Let’s explore water feature possibilities for your backyard. We’ll throw in a few photos, videos and keep the small-talk on the down-low. (Yep, this is sounding comic strip, ya think?)
Ways to leave your Old Style Grill & Embrace Outdoor Grill Islands
Grills – we all love ’em. But it’s Men who are the Grill Masters. King of the grill seems to date back to cavemen at the beginning of civilization. The men went out to hunt for meat and cooked it for the women looking after the offspring.
But it ain’t the stone age . . . so move over Guys, Gals love Grills too! And they’ve prettied them up . . . made them more convenient with access to utensils and handier grill-stuff. Yes, the great outdoors has become even greater with Outdoor Grill Islands. Let’s see what’s cooking in the Outdoor Grill Island world.
Landscape Pathways make a distinct and unmistakable footprint in landscape design. Why don’t we jump right in and take a visual stroll down some paths and walkways? Focus on the ease pathways make while adding aesthetic beauty.
Backyard Privacy Screens
Sure, we all love our neighbors, but jeepers-peepers, not as an audience to our everyday-outdoor-lives. To mimic the seclusion, we feel indoors – in our outdoor spaces . . . we create Backyard Privacy Screens.

We hope our suggestions gave you plenty of motivation and inspiration as you move forward. We appreciate you watching our YouTube videos and WELCOME your subscribing to our channel.
