Outdoor Kitchen in Park Ridge, Illinois
These Park Ridge homeowners wanted to enhance the functionality of their ample outdoor space, and an outdoor kitchen was top on their list.
Van Zelst created an outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in grill, making family cookouts or impromptu parties a breeze for our clients. We strategically placed the grill close to the home’s back steps, allowing for easy back-and-forth from the house to the grilling space.
Right at home under the lot’s mature trees, the grill island features stainless steel appliances. The bluestone slab countertop is coated with a thermal finish, allowing it to withstand the elements and the high cooking temperatures. The natural stone surround seamlessly ties the grill into the larger backyard design theme.
Bluestone Patio Design
With a large backyard area, these homeowners had a plethora of room. Van Zelst created and installed landscaping and hardscaping that made the most of the space, seamlessly blending elements to create a peaceful oasis.
Park Ridge Front Yard Design
The homeowners wanted their front yard to be a showpiece, enhancing their home’s curb appeal—and Van Zelst delivered a landscaping plan that hit the mark.
