Backyard Inspiration in the Desert with a New Deck and Custom Grill Island

As the sun always shines across the gorgeous desert landscape, there are endless perfect evenings for backyard entertaining. With wide-open panoramic views in every direction, it's no secret that outdoor living is a year-round endeavor. These homeowners have rejuvenated their backyard with new decking and a custom grill island, transforming it into a gathering place for any time of the year. The warm reddish decking is inviting with sharp contrast to the cinder block and stone xeriscape's beige and grays.

The outdoor kitchen is compact in footprint but packed full of function, appliances, and storage. Entirely custom, the stucco island features wood trim, cutouts for built-in appliances, and leathered granite countertops. Whether you like to grill or bake, this kitchen makes both possible with high-end appliances from Summerset Grills. The Oven allows an outdoor solution for baking pizza, side dishes, or desserts without heading indoors, while the Sizzler Pro and matching side burner can grill, roast, or smoke whatever your heart desires.

The outdoor living space is the center of any party and a place to have some quiet time with your morning coffee. If you're a homeowner in the desert with a neglected backyard, adding a deck, grill island, and landscaping will turn your wasteland into a paradise.
