Welcome to Grown-Up Backyard Bliss

Why should kids have all the fun?
In Los Angeles, more homeowners are transforming their backyards into luxurious adult playgrounds spaces designed for relaxation, entertaining, and everyday escape. Forget the plastic slides and jungle gyms. We’re talking sunken lounges, fire pits, aluminum patio covers, LED-lit bars, and custom seating that turn your yard into a five-star social destination.

At Build Up Remodeling, we specialize in turning your vision into a backyard built for hosting, chilling, and living well without ever leaving home.

FIRE PITS THAT BRING THE HEAT

Nothing draws people together like a fire.
Custom-built fire pits are a must-have for adult-friendly backyards. Whether it’s a 3×3 brick fire feature, a sleek gas-powered bowl, or a built-in seating area with heat below, these cozy elements instantly create ambiance.

Top Fire Pit Features in LA:

•  Brick or paver-wrapped bases.
•  Built-in gas lines with push-button ignition.
•  Surround seating or sectional-style benches.
•  Ambient lighting embedded in the hardscape.

SINK INTO STYLE: THE SUNKEN LOUNGE

Want to wow your guests?
Go below the surface with a sunken lounge an intimate, recessed space surrounded by raised pavers or planters. It’s the perfect setting for late-night chats, wine nights, or game days on the outdoor TV.

Why It Works:

•  Feels like a private VIP corner.
•  Blocks wind and noise.
•  Can be centered around a fire pit or coffee table.
•  Adds a major design statement to your backyard.

OUTDOOR BARS THAT BELONG IN A LUXURY RESORT

Bring happy hour home.
Custom outdoor bars let you entertain in style whether it’s a full wet bar with a sink and mini fridge or a sleek counter with bar stools and pendant lights. These spaces can be built under patio covers or tucked into a wall for a minimalist look.

Bar Ideas We Love:

•  Stone veneer fronts with quartz or concrete counters.
•  Under-counter lighting and mounted TVs.
•  Integrated BBQ and smoker stations.
•  Built-in speakers or surround sound.

DESIGN TIPS FOR THE ULTIMATE ADULT BACKYARD

Want it to feel high-end and fun? Follow these rules:

1. Mix hardscape with softscape.
Combine pavers and turf for modern contrast and easy maintenance.

2. Include layered lighting.
Incorporate step lights, wall sconces, string lights, and path lighting to set the mood.

3. Add privacy.
Use planter walls, modern fences, or tall hedges to create an exclusive atmosphere.

4. Think flow.
Design a layout where the bar leads to the lounge, which leads to the fire pit just like a well-planned indoor space.
