Extending Living Space to the Grounds
Many Georgian and Tudor estates in neighborhoods like South Park and Conway Farms rely on indoor layouts that ignore the surrounding landscape. Installing a terrace or kitchen allows these homes to function better during the summer months. These additions must align with the existing masonry to avoid looking like afterthoughts.
Lake Forest
Projects here focus on natural stone patios and pergola installations that match the scale of historic architecture. Outdoor kitchens and fire pits function best when they are integrated into the existing formal terrace layout.
Project Investment
With home values ranging from $900k to $3M+, a well-executed outdoor project requires an investment that respects the property pedigree and material standards.
Local Insight
Lake Forest has strict regulations regarding site coverage and drainage. We prioritize proper water management around all hardscaping to protect the foundation of older homes.
