A New Jersey Backyard Built for Every Season
This New Jersey backyard was designed with one clear purpose: to create an outdoor space that feels complete, welcoming, and ready to use year-round. From quiet mornings by the fire to lively evenings filled with food and conversation, every detail supports a lifestyle centered on gathering, cooking, and staying connected outdoors.
A built-in fireplace anchors one side of the yard, offering warmth and visual balance. Matching wings extend from the hearth, each housing a dedicated smoker for slow-cooked meals that set the tone for relaxed weekends. Above the fireplace, a mounted television keeps entertainment close, while plush seating and a portable heater make it easy to settle in long after the sun drops. This zone works just as well for daytime sports as it does for nighttime conversations.
A Kitchen That Faces the Crowd
Opposite the fireplace, the outdoor kitchen opens wide with a layout designed for easy hosting. A built-in pizza oven anchors the space, framed by two grill islands equipped with a Summerset grill, side burner, sink, refrigeration, and storage—all arranged as a complete cooking suite. Tiered counters along the back provide comfortable bar seating, allowing guests to stay close while meals are prepared. With clear sightlines and natural flow, cooking remains social, smooth, and unhurried.
Designed for Every Season
This backyard earns its place as a true destination by working year-round. Summer brings open-air dinners and fresh pizzas shared straight from the oven. As temperatures cool, the fireplace and smokers take center stage, supporting heartier menus and longer evenings outside. The space adapts effortlessly, making outdoor living feel natural regardless of the season.
