Beyond Back Yard Living, LLC has seriously upped my outdoor living game. They ve transformed my backyard into this serene oasis that's like my own little retreat. The textured concrete flooring is so on point, it totally vibes with the natural surroundings. And the layout? It's perfect for chilling with my friends, with super comfy seating and a cozy fire pit that just sets the mood. The outdoor fireplace is a total standout, with a brick chimney that gives off this rustic charm. I've decorated the mantel with my favorite pieces, and it feels so homely. Plus, the trees around provide this natural canopy, so it's like my own private hideaway. I'm seriously impressed with their attention to detail - the earth-toned cushions on the furniture, the vibrant sunflowers on the mantel, it's all so me. The fire pit and fireplace don't just keep us warm, they're the perfect focal point for our evening hangouts. Beyond Back Yard Living, LLC has gone above and beyond, creating a tranquil and inviting outdoor space that I can enjoy all year round. They've been so professional and creative, and their commitment to quality is just amazing. If you're looking to level up your outdoor living experience, I totally recommend them."
