Transform Your Outdoor Entertaining with Customized, High-Quality Outdoor Living Space

Design Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen

Frequent outdoor dinner parties have become popular across the South, and that has driven big demand for an outdoor kitchen that matches the quality, style, and performance of the indoor one. Homeowners love extending their entertaining space outside into a true outdoor living space.

Planning an outdoor kitchen that works for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing can feel overwhelming. The landscape design team at White Oak Landscape makes it easy, starting with a design consultation to decide how you will use the space, the best location on your property, and how to map out distinct entertaining, living, and cooking areas. Our outdoor kitchen design also weighs equipment choices, materials, and styles for everything from patio and deck flooring to counters, pergolas, and trellises.

Stylish Functional Outdoor Kitchens

Elegant Outdoor Fireplaces & Firepits

An outdoor fireplace or fire pit keeps you warm on chilly spring and fall nights and helps keep bugs away in summer, while staying efficient and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. Pair a fire feature with an outdoor kitchen for an elegant outdoor living area that anchors your backyard.

Real Customer Stories

Design-through-Install Outdoor Living Space

“White Oak Landscaping added a new sidewalk, a new lawn and many plants to my backyard & it was a great experience. Lance was my main point of contact and he also did the entire design, which we love. He was very responsive and flexible as the project progressed and added great value to the overall project. The crew, led by Jesus & Haig were very professional and hard working. They couldn’t have been nicer and were very conscientious during the week they were here. I highly recommend White Oak and will be using them again for my front yard project.” Ernie H

Frequently Asked Questions for Residential Outdoor Living

At White Oak Landscape, we often receive questions about residential outdoor living. Please contact us with any questions: (770) 427-0524

Do you design and build outdoor living spaces near me?

Yes. White Oak Landscape designs and builds residential outdoor living spaces across Marietta, East Cobb, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Kennesaw, Smyrna, Woodstock, and the greater Atlanta area. Our landscape designers handle the full project from the first design consultation through installation.

Can White Oak handle my whole project, from design through installation and maintenance?

Yes. We work as a single point of contact, taking a project from design consultation through hardscape and planting installation and into ongoing landscape maintenance, so one team is accountable for the whole outdoor living space.

What is the difference between concrete and natural stone for a patio or hardscape?

Concrete pavers are typically more budget-friendly with consistent sizing and color, while natural stone gives a one-of-a-kind look and long life at a higher cost. During your design consultation we walk through both options for your patio and walkways and match the material to your style and budget.

Can you add a custom water feature to my outdoor living space?

Yes. We design and install custom water features such as fountains, ponds, and waterfalls that add soothing sound and a natural focal point to your backyard.

How do you add storage to an outdoor living space?
