Outdoor Rooms for Living

An outdoor living room is a second living space for your home. Omaha’s MADS Lawn and Landscape Specialists construct patios and install outdoor rooms to get the most out of your backyard space. A space for family and friends to gather around a fire pit on a cool evening. A place to enjoy your morning coffee or to wind down in the evening. A destination spot for the neighborhood barbecue or summer parties. A place where memories are made.

Expert Patio Contractors

MADS Lawn and Landscape Specialists are expert patio contractors in the Omaha area, with over 10 years of experience building hardscape features as part of a landscape.

It Begins With A Patio

An outdoor living room begins with the hardscape or patio. Patio “flooring” elements like pavers and stone used to level the landscape. Then, areas are defined for entertaining and gathering, cooking and relaxation. In addition to their use in constructing patios and retaining walls, concrete block products come in a wide variety of colors and textures which can be used to create other weather resistant structures, like outdoor kitchens, fire pits or bars.

Retaining Walls

If your backyard is fairly level, a patio may be all you need. For sloping backyards, a retaining wall may be in order. Retaining walls with steps cut into the landscape take you to another level of your outdoor space. They prevent soil erosion and further define garden spaces. But retaining walls aren’t just for controlling erosion. For instance, they make great places to sit and mingle during large gatherings.

Fire Pits

MADS builds fire pits and outdoor fireplaces to your specifications, using stone or masonry. We can even install color changing lights in your fire pit to coordinate with your other outdoor lighting.

Outdoor Kitchens and Bars

Outdoor kitchens recently have become popular, with homeowners finding new ways to really live in their outdoor spaces. MADS Lawn and Landscape Specialists can build a beautiful outdoor kitchen spaces, outfitted with weatherproof cabinets for added storage.

Your Outdoor Bar Can Have Multiple Purposes

Kitchens are natural gathering places when entertaining and an outdoor kitchen is no exception. A feature like an outdoor bar lets friends keep the chef company and also provides food prep, serving space and room for more guests. Add a weatherproof TV and the space becomes an outdoor man cave.

Outdoor bars also provide additional seating for larger gatherings. And because more people are working from home, outdoor bars can double as an outdoor office or a place to do projects better accomplished outdoors.

Pergolas and Shade Structures

Sometimes an area needs some extra shade. Pergolas or arbors are shade structures that filter light. They can be semi-open, slatted structures, or covered with a canopy or metal roof. The vertical structure of a pergola or arbor adds architectural interest and defines a space.

MADS Lawn and Landscaping can build a pergola in your outdoor space to provide shade for a dining area or a complete cover for an outdoor kitchen or bar so you can grill in the elements. If more privacy is desired, we can install a living wall using a trellis covered with a vine or ivy.
