The renovation is finished: what a difference!

The view from the new Tiki Hut.
The project was completed on time as promised and the client’s were delighted with the results. The big, ugly, out-of-proportion fake waterfall that blocked their view of the water has been replaced with a beautiful grotto style waterfall cascading into their hot tub.
The backside of the waterfall is actually a stream which wraps around the waterfall so that the falls are beautiful from all angles. And the size of the waterfall and stream is now perfect. The view is not blocked and the beautiful oak tree beside the falls is
now an important part of the picture instead of being hidden by masses of fake rock.
The back of the grotto waterfall
The addition of the Tiki Hut made a part of the property which was not being used into a complete outdoor bar area. Everything needed for the perfect party is now part of a beautiful design. The decking area has been expanded. The area has been re-landscaped. The stream, grotto falls and water wall all add the soothing sound of falling water. In the stream are misters which add an aura of mystery at night. The scene is completed with landscape lighting and tiki torches.
Tiki hut with complete wet bar for great entertaining
The tiki hut is covered with real palm thatching that is completely waterproof. The polymer cabinets are all built to last a life time and were installed by Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets and more . The polished granite bar and countertop were provided by International Artistic Stone and accent the colors of the thatch roof and the pecky cypress wood used for the base of the bar and the back of the tiki hut.
With this complete exterior design the true potential of this property is now being realized and the clients are delighted and their first party on New Year’s Eve was a complete success in their new back yard.
