Greeley Custom Exterior Entertaining Area
Greeley, Colorado
When Jeff and Christy Weeks of Greeley, Coloardo, asked Alpine Gardens to design and build their new backyard retreat, naturally, as a previous customer of Alpine Gardens, we were very excited and enthusiastic to get started.
A custom exterior entertaining area became the focus of the project. The scope of this project included a massive entry arbor, a rustic pergola, outdoor kitchen as well as a splashing water feature softened with new perennial color. The existing circular, stamped concrete patio was to be utilized in the overall design, therefore a very atypical layout for the pergola was developed. The kitchen area would become the epicenter for the design of the pergola, with large beams extending across the entire patio from this point in a radial pattern. For an added touch, custom ornamental wrought iron was sculpted by a blacksmith. The columns would be surrounded by stone that was selected to be an exact match to the exterior of the house. This same material would also be utilized as a bench between two of the columns as well as the base of the kitchen area. New, more inviting steps into the house were also made by means of this combination of materials. Stainless steel appliances were used throughout the kitchen, including a grill, refrigerator and sink. The patio was enhanced by the addition of a pet and grandchildren friendly “pondless” waterfall, set in full view from inside the home as well as the patio. Landscape lighting enhanced the evening enjoyment of this spectacular new outdoor living area.
This project was especially fun to do, as we were able to use our design, project management and landscape skills as we worked side by side with plumbers, electricians, carpenters, masons, and a blacksmith. Jeff and Christy, with margarita in hand, are now able to vacation at home by the soothing waterfall.
