Sandy Springs backyard designed for gathering

This Ferry Drive project by Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces connects a covered porch, outdoor kitchen, pool and hot tub with a modern water feature, synthetic turf and stepping stones.

The homeowner’s vision

After custom-building their house, the homeowner waited to finalize the outdoor features until they found a design that fit their goals. They wanted a modern, functional and lower-maintenance backyard for relaxing and entertaining family and friends, with room for gatherings of different sizes.

Connected outdoor living features

The covered porch provides a gathering space with a gas-burning fireplace. The outdoor kitchen adds expansive counter space for preparing food and serving guests. The pool and hot tub sit within the coordinated backyard, while a three-tier water feature and stepping stones set into synthetic turf bring another layer to the outdoor design.
