ASK THE EXPERTS: TRENDS IN OUTDOOR LIVING                       SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

Ask the Experts

Now more than ever, homeowners are realizing the importance of utilizing their entire property, from creating patios and gardens to kitchens and entertaining spaces.

But where to start? What plants grow well in your area, and how do you plan for blooms all year long? What stone is right for a patio or a new built-in pizza oven? Should you buy a gas or wood fire feature, and how close can it be to the house? How do you take care of your new outdoor “rooms?” Can you expect a return on your investment when the time comes to sell? The advertisers here have answers to those questions and more, and can help design, build and maintain your ideal outdoor space.
