Let us explain why you may want to consider planning now for the upcoming summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grill Area vs Outdoor Kitchen<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re wondering what makes a lone grill different from an outdoor kitchen, then let us clear things up a bit. First off, an outdoor kitchen is designed to feel like an extension of your indoor living space, effectively adding to the square footage of your home by creating a second cooking and preparation area outdoors. Second, outdoor kitchens are designed to make your life much, much easier than a lone grill could ever hope to. Finally, if you\u2019re still unclear, here are all of the awesome amenities our White Rock landscape designers have worked with in the past:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Custom countertops and weatherproofed cabinets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rugged stonework that frames out your \u201ckitchen\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bar-like areas for guests to sit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plumbing elements, including sinks and even dishwashers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of storage for prepping, cooking, and serving<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrical elements, including cooktops, refrigerators, and even accent lighting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landscaping and patio design that complete the space<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join the Party<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re hosting company, it\u2019s really easy to feel like you end up missing half of the fun while trying to keep on the preparation and serving of food and drinks. By adding an outdoor kitchen and investing in that living space, you can stay connected to your guests, even while you prep and cook. In fact, when you have an outdoor kitchen, you may even find that your guests feel inclined to enjoy the amenities with you and are happy to help out with the service. Since this unique area will allow you to use your outdoor kitchen to prepare a full meal, serve as a buffet station for food made indoors, or even just a surface to mix a few drinks on, and more, you\u2019ll never find that you run out of uses or utilities &#8211; and neither will your guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Fontana Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fontana Ponds &amp; Water Features is proud to offer world-class landscape design and construction services to home and business owners in the White Rock area.
