Design ideas and inspiration for Austin outdoor living spaces. Native landscaping, shade solutions, and layout tips.
Designing for the Texas Hill Country
Great outdoor kitchens blend with the natural landscape. Incorporate native limestone, use pergolas or shade sails for sun protection, and add native plants like Texas sage and agave. Consider the prevailing wind when placing your grill. Austin's indoor-outdoor lifestyle means your kitchen should flow naturally from your home's back door. Include plenty of seating — Texans love to linger outdoors.
