Outdoor Living Spaces

Today outdoor living means more than tending the garden and mowing the lawn.  With a little creativity and planning, your yard can become a living space where you spend a great deal of your time.  Whether this means bug proofing a patio with screens or setting up an outdoor kitchen and dining area with all the amenities for entertaining will depend on your specific needs and budget. 

Outdoor Kitchens 

For many homeowners, cooking outdoors is one of the summer’s great pleasures.  While creating an outdoor kitchen can be as simple as setting up a portable barbecue or hibachi next to a picnic table, it can also involve much more.  If you’re a dedicated outdoor chef, we can plan and install a more elaborate and permanent outdoor kitchen.  In addition to built-in cooking facilities, other amenities include preparation and serving counters, storage cabinets, and perhaps a refrigerator and a sink.  Thoms Bros. uses and has access to many types of construction material and appliances to make your dreams come true. 

Fire (Pits & Places) 

Do you want to extend the use time of your backyard?  Adding fire to a landscape can extend the use of your backyard into those cool Michigan fall nights.  A skillfully crafted grand fireplace can bring the living room outdoors.  Another option is a firepit that allows relaxing with friends and family around the warming glow of a fire and a camping feel.  The addition of one of these features in your landscape will definitely add to the value of your home and extend its use to three seasons. 

Overhead Cover (pergolas, gazebos, cabanas, & structured roofs) 

Whether you just need a little break from the sun or want complete protection from the weather elements we can help.  We design and install custom or kit pergolas and gazebos out of cedar, composite or other materials to meet the look, budget, and need.  We also can go out with a pool house with full bathroom, enclosed kitchen, tv and whatever else you can dream.
