Fire Pits are Hot

 

Fire pits are hot, literally of course, but also in terms of popularity. They are a must have for almost every outdoor project request we’ve received this summer.  Nothing brings family and friends together like sitting around a fire.  And  even if you’re alone, or it’s just you and your sweetie, there’s something mesmerizing about watching the flames!  If we build you a fire pit this summer, the wood for your first fire is on us!  Don’t forget the marshmallows!  Here are links to two sites that have neat information and delicious ideas for s’mores:  http://www.hersheys.com/pure-smores/  http://www.buzzfeed.com/emofly/smores-smores-smores#.cv1vXyMJxb

Cheers to Spring!

We love this time of year!  The guys set out early this morning to start the first outdoor project of the season.  We are all very grateful and excited for the many phone calls and emails that we have received and the jobs that have been scheduled.  We are looking so forward to starting, finishing, and sharing with you on this page and on https://www.facebook.com/diamondhardscapes   some of the great projects coming up!  There is still time to get your outdoor living space on the schedule and enjoy it by summer!

Deck and Patio Combo

Not sure if you want a deck or a patio? This West Lafayette couple got the best of both…..a great deck off of their home which leads to the beautiful paver walkway and patio perfect for them to add their fire pit.

Gorgeous Garage….Organized for Back to School!

The guys took things inside a couple of days last week to complete this project.

A busy mom and her family are going to be organized and ready for back-to-school with this garage storage unit. Yes…we said garage, although it’s certainly beautiful enough to be inside a foyer or mudroom area!  She had an idea of what she wanted, so we worked with her ideas to custom design and build this unit.  The bench seating lifts for 5 individual areas to store shoes.  As a finishing touch, the steps to the house were re-done to match the unit.

Done in a Day

Meyer Patio 1 (1024x651)

Imagine leaving for work in the morning and coming home to relax on your new patio that same evening, then being able to invite friends or family over to enjoy a fire in the new fire pit over the coming weekend!  Summer is going quickly, and our schedule is filling fast, but it’s not too late to have  the outdoor space you’ve been wanting THIS summerInterested in a deck instead of a patio?…..We have plenty deck options that can be completed in a day as well!

Popular, Practical, Pretty Pergolas!

We have had many requests lately for Pergolas.  They are practical and pretty!  A pergola adds value and interest to your home. Pergolas also create a shady outdoor living space during the day and a cozy, outdoor room feel for entertaining or enjoying summer nights.  Most pergolas can be completed in a day or two…..looking for a quick update to your existing deck or patio–this is a great option!  Her are a few great-looking, custom designed and built examples by Diamond Decks and Hardscapes.  Check out our photo galleries for more examples.
