Hemlock Timber Frame Pavilion - Poolside
Verardi Landscapes in Pittsburgh, PA is dedicated to helping homeowners create beautiful and functional outdoor living spaces. One of the most popular features we are adding to client's landscapes is the concept of an outdoor living room.
An outdoor living room is essentially an extension of your indoor living space, but it's outdoors. It's a place where you can entertain guests, relax with family, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Outdoor living rooms are typically defined by the presence of features such as fireplaces, fans, lighting, outdoor heaters, and outdoor kitchens. They are also typically accompanied by native plant species, water features, outdoor lighting, patios, and natural stonework to give the space a resort like feel.
There are many benefits to adding an outdoor living room to your backyard landscape. Here are just a few:
Extend your living space: An outdoor living room allows you to use your outdoor space more effectively. With a comfortable seating area, you can entertain guests or relax with your family outside.
Increase your home's value: Adding an outdoor living room is a great way to increase the value of your home. It's a feature that many homebuyers are looking for, and it can help set your home apart from others on the market. Some of the most prominent custom home builders are incorporating these features to take advantage of the newest homeowner wishes.
Enjoy the beauty of nature: An outdoor living room allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature from the comfort of your own home. With native plant species and water features, you can create a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere in your backyard.
Entertain guests: An outdoor living room is the perfect place to entertain guests. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or a dinner party, your outdoor living room will provide a beautiful and functional space for your guests to enjoy.
What amenities do you typically include for Pittsburgh homes?
Timber Frame Cabana Complete With Outdoor Kitchen
While outdoor living rooms are a great addition to any backyard, they are often only used during certain seasons due to weather conditions. To truly make your outdoor living space a year-round experience, it's important to consider covering the space with a roof.
There are two main options when it comes to covering your outdoor living room: extending a roof off the existing home or building a freestanding structure such as a cabana or pavilion.
Extending a roof off the existing home is a great option for those who have an existing covered patio or deck. By extending the roof, you can create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor living spaces, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor living room regardless of the weather conditions.
Building a freestanding structure such as a cabana or pavilion is another great option. Not only does it provide cover for your outdoor living room, but it also adds a unique architectural element to your backyard. It also provides additional space for seating, dining, and entertaining guests.
At Verardi Landscapes, we specialize in designing and building custom cabanas and pavilions that are tailored to your specific needs and preferences. We use high-quality materials such as wood, metal, and stone to ensure that your structure is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Outdoor Kitchens and BBQ’s
At Verardi Landscapes, we believe that outdoor kitchens are a crucial element of any outdoor living room. Outdoor kitchens provide a functional space for preparing meals, allowing you to entertain guests without the need to constantly run back and forth to your indoor kitchen.
Our outdoor kitchens are designed with your needs in mind. We use high-quality materials such as natural stone, stainless steel appliances, and weather-resistant cabinets to ensure that your outdoor kitchen can withstand the elements while still looking beautiful and functional for years to come.
Our installation process is thorough and efficient. We begin with a consultation to discuss your preferences and budget, then we design a customized plan that meets your needs. We also take into account the layout of your backyard, the surrounding environment, and any other factors that may impact the installation process.
Fireplaces and other Fire Features
In addition to outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and other fire features are a popular addition to any outdoor living room. Fire features such as fire pits, fire bowls, and fire tables add warmth, ambiance, and a focal point to your outdoor living space.
At Verardi Landscapes, we specialize in designing and installing fire features that accent your outdoor living space. We carefully select the best materials, such as natural stone, concrete, and metal, to ensure that your fire feature is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Fireplaces are another great feature to consider. They add warmth, ambiance, and a cozy atmosphere to your outdoor living room. We offer a variety of fireplace designs, including traditional brick and stone designs, as well as modern designs with clean lines and sleek finishes.
We also offer custom fire feature designs that are tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Our team of experts will work with you to design a fire feature that complements your outdoor living space and meets your budget.
Hardscape and Landscaping
The hardscape or cement that paves the outdoor living space is just as important as the rest of the landscaping and lighting when it comes to creating a resort-like experience in your backyard. At Verardi Landscapes, we believe that every aspect of your outdoor living space should be carefully considered to create a cohesive and luxurious experience.
We offer a variety of hardscape materials to choose from, including natural stone, brick, and concrete. Each material has its own unique qualities and can be used to create a variety of different looks and feels in your outdoor living space.
Our team of experts will work with you to design a hardscape that complements the rest of your outdoor living space and creates the resort-like experience you desire. We take into account factors such as the size and shape of your outdoor living room, the surrounding landscape, and the style of your home to ensure that the hardscape is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
In addition to the hardscape, we also carefully select plants, lighting, and other landscape features to accent your outdoor living space and create a resort-like experience. We use native plant species that thrive in the Pittsburgh, PA area to create a natural and lush environment that is easy to maintain. Our lighting designs are carefully placed to highlight the beauty of your outdoor living space and create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
