Transform Your Outdoor Living Space—Custom Golf Greens, Outdoor Kitchens, and More

It’s true. Many homeowners think about upgrading their outdoor living spaces. But here’s something they may not have considered:

Getting their very own backyard golf green.

And that’s too bad. Because while fire pits, pizza ovens, and stone backyard patios are amazing—and they are—what’s even cooler is impressing your friends and family with some new backyard greenery (not to mention your business associates out on the links).

Sound interesting? Keep reading. Because personal golf greens are one backyard trend that’ll give you way more than bragging rights for staying under par. In fact, these personal putting ranges might be just the ticket for transforming your backyard into the at-home resort you never knew you needed.

Why Homeowners Love Backyard Golf Greens

Adding golf greens to our homeowners’ backyards is something we love to do at E&E. 

Here are a few of the reasons why.

• They’re Built for Fun: Practice your short game or challenge friends to an impromptu putting contest. Golf greens add a level of play few other amenities can compete with.
• They Impress the Neighbors: C’mon, it’s fun to show off your home every once in a while. And what better way to do that than with a professionally installed golf green as part of your outdoor living space. 
• Golfing Keeps You Active: Many homeowners find golf is a nice way to stretch the legs and get outdoors—and what better way to stay motivated than being able to practice whenever you please?
• The Greens Are Customizable: Your golf green is built just for you. Tricky slopes, a large flat surface for casual putting… You call the shots and our crew will put it together.

Golfing at Home Is Great—But Don’t Forget the Classics

A personal golf green might be the most unique piece of a new outdoor living space, but it works best as an enjoyable piece of a well-designed backyard setup.

Here are a few other personal touches Pennsylvania homeowners are adding to their new putting range. (Or maybe it’s the other way around.)

• Stone Backyard Patios: Often the mainstay of a functional outdoor living space, natural stone, concrete paver, or brick patios provide the perfect place for cookouts, quiet mornings, and making memories with family and friends.
• Outdoor Kitchens & Pizza Ovens: Custom-built kitchens, pizza ovens, and grilling stations transform your backyard into a natural extension of the home. So go ahead and sink a few puts. Then grab yourself a freshly grilled burger.
• Firepits & Fire Tables: The centerpiece of many a memorable night, firepits and built-in fire tables are a classic choice for evenings together and s’mores-filled fun.
• Three-Season Rooms & Covered Porches: Enjoy your outdoor space nearly year-round with roofed backyard patios, screened rooms (even retractable walls!), and A-frame covered porches.

How to Plan the Perfect Outdoor Living Space

Before investing in the sweetest outdoor hang spot on the Main Line, it’s important to think your upgrades through. 

That’s because a well-planned outdoor living space saves you money, helps you avoid regrets, and ensures the final result is a space that matches your desires and preferences.

Begin by asking yourself the following. Your answers should give you a much clearer picture of your priorities and the kind of outdoor living space you’ll appreciate for years to come.

• How will you primarily use the space? Entertaining? Quiet evenings? Family time?
• What is the top feature you’d most like to have?
• How much time (and money) are you willing to spend on maintenance?
• What is your long-term goal: improving resale value, or creating your forever home?

With these questions in mind, take a look at some of the more popular outdoor living space options we’ve been installing for PA homeowners the last 30 years. And if you need even more inspiration, just head on over to our portfolio page.

How to Choose the Best Materials for Your Home and Budget

Once you’ve got your basic features narrowed down, it’s time for another crucial consideration: building materials.

Each material carries its own set of advantages. And with no shortage of modern products to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find the right balance of looks, durability, and budget to suit your needs.

Here are a few of the most common choices.

• Natural Stone: Elegant and earthy, natural stone is a choice that’s hard to beat. And with your preference of Pennsylvania bluestone, flagstone, or limestone, you’re sure to find the perfect look.
• Brick: Another timeless classic—but for those desiring a more traditional look—brick is a great option for patios, walkways, and outdoor walls. It’s also more affordable than natural stone and easy to color-match with your home.
• Concrete Pavers: A solid choice for homeowners wanting a low maintenance livable space that doesn’t break the bank. (And there are more style options than you might imagine.)
• Composite Decking: Composite deck planks look great, are low maintenance, and last decades. What more is there to say about these amazing products?
• Wood Decking: It’s a classic—and for good reason. If you love the look of wood, it might be worth the additional maintenance needed to keep these decks looking great for years to come.

The perfect outdoor living space doesn’t require a massive property and unlimited funds. You simply need to think about the space you have, the kinds of memories you want to create, and your available budget…
