The official first week of summer is right around the corner, are you ready? If you’re like most people, you can’t wait to get outdoors and soak in the sun after the long Minnesota winter. If your yard seems like it needs a little pick me up, thinks about some new stone furniture. Custom stone furniture is beautiful, durable, lasts forever and can give your yard or patio a whole new look. Read on for some fresh ideas.
Fire Pits
A fire pit is a great way to extend the use of your yard into the cooler fall months, and nothing is more fun for entertaining, whether you are looking for a romantic atmosphere or something more cozy and fun. Fire pits come in a variety of designs and sizes to fit every taste and budget. If you’re looking for something really special, you can even get a customized bar table with a fire pit in it. It’s designed to be 100% safe while keeping everyone sitting at it both toasty warm and entertained.
Tables
A good table is a must for any patio, more so if you do a lot of entertaining. While plastic ones look cheap and easily stain and crack, and glass ones, while beautiful, can be fragile, a custom stone table will give you long-lasting beauty that’s easy to maintain. You can choose from a variety of stones to create the perfect look for your yard.
Seating
You can never have too much seating in your yard! If you have a deck, consider built in stone seating. It’s more comfortable than you think and it will stand up to whatever your kids and pets throw at it. You can even include table areas between each seat for even more convenience. Stone benches are also a beautiful addition to any garden, pond, or pool area.
Cooking Areas
If you’re serious about your outdoor cooking game, consider creating an outdoor kitchen area with custom stone counters and even an island. They’re perfect for entertaining and will let you whip up gourmet meals on even the hottest nights without having to heat up your home. An outdoor kitchen area is a perfect complement to your grill.
Patio Sets
A stone patio set can be a beautiful and creative addition to your yard. There are a variety of stones to choose from, even marble, and many of the designs look like sculpture or fine art. You can choose from a bistro set for two or a dining set to fit the whole family comfortably. The best part is this is outdoor furniture that can stay outdoors year round, even in our tough Minnesota winters, and still look beautiful year after year.
Bars
If you’re a big outdoor entertainer, a bar area makes sense. Stone bar stools and counters make perfect sense for outdoor bars. They are durable, easy to clean and look ultra sophisticated and stylish. Think dark granite, marble or even slate. You can make your yard the most popular hangout in town.
Pool Furniture
If you have an in the ground pool, stone pool furniture makes a lot of sense. It stands up to all the splashing and the sun, and you can customize its look to match the stone used in your pool and the surrounding area. Just add a few cozy cushions to some stone chairs or loungers for a welcoming and cozy place to soak up some sun.
Custom stone furniture is durable, stylish and will quickly pay for itself by looking great year after year with easy maintenance. Stone furniture can stay outdoors year long to add interest and beauty to your yard, and eliminates the hassles of having to find storage space for the winter. Stone fire pits will even let you continue to enjoy your yard well into the cooler fall weather.
