For anyone who loves cooking and dining al fresco, an outdoor kitchen can add tremendous functionality and value to a home. With plenty of space incorporated for cooking, custom outdoor kitchen appliances, food equipment storage, and dining, an outdoor kitchen design can be tailored to meet your exact specifications and style preferences. Our landscape architects combine knowledge of plant ecology with excellence in landscape design and exterior lighting to create a desirable and functional outdoor kitchen that complements the existing design of a client's home.

If you have recently installed a brand new landscape or replaced turf, an irrigation system is a wise decision, as it will protect your investment. A typical lawn in Northeast Ohio will likely dry up and brown out during an average summer, but an irrigation system ensures your lawn will remain green and lush.

A brand new pool or spa can become the foundation of your landscape design. For example, a pool surround can offer a beautiful place for dining or sunbathing poolside. A cabana or pavilion can provide essential shade or cover. The options are endless for transforming your outdoor space with a pool or spa.

Using innovative materials that complement your home's design and style will not only update your home's look, but make a welcoming atmosphere for your friends and family. We recommend taking the time to add stonework, lighting and plantings near your front door as part of a well thought out landscaping design. These simple efforts can increase your home's style and curb appeal.

The landscape architects at Exscape Designs often incorporate retaining walls into clients' landscape designs. Designed to hold back soil, a retaining wall serves a dual purpose of creating structure and, in some cases, privacy while also adding beauty. Discover how a retaining wall structure can enhance your outdoor space.

Many people enjoy being by water-watching nature such as birds and fish and listening to the sound of moving water. By installing a custom garden pond, you can enjoy being by the water anytime you like in your own backyard. There are many options for your garden pond design, and our landscape architects can take your ideas to create a unique pond feature unlike any other.

There are many options for designing a covered patio. Using the same roofing materials as your home, Exscape Designs can extend your roofline to cover a desired patio space. Another option is to install large wood beams, extending from your home to add some shade and cover while allowing the light to pass through. There are many options to consider as you plan your covered patio design.

Landscape lighting is a beautiful way to add safety to front porch walkways or deck and patio stairways. The addition of landscape lighting allows you and your family, as well as guests, to safely navigate these areas in the evenings or at other times of low light.

A fountain offers the added benefit of beauty and relaxation. If you would like to have a special space to relax incorporated into your landscape design, a seating area or bench next to a fountain allows you to unwind while listening to the soothing sounds of moving water.

An outdoor kitchen allows you to enjoy cooking, dining, and entertaining outdoors throughout the seasons in Northeast Ohio.
