Outdoor Living

Outdoor living is a year-round topic on Hometalk. Hometalk members are busy planning and maintaining outdoor living spaces from the heat of summer to the cold of winter. Some folks are professionals who post gorgeous pictures of the outdoor living dreamscapes they've built. Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time. Whether you're a novice or an expert, join a conversation about outdoor living rooms on Hometalk.

    them there. I have a new fence tarp, but I worry it blocks too much sun (from the west) for the bushes. So I most likely won't put it up. (The house blocks the eastern sun.) I might put up two lattice panels on the part of the fence behind the patio. I might also amend the soil to make the bushes grow faster! Thanks for all the input! :)

Granite Fire Pit

GREENSTONE recently started manufacturing granite fire pits. These fire pits are made from recycled granite and each one represents over 1,000 lbs of granite countertop scraps that was diverted from the landfill!

    thank you for the kind words. We pickup all the granite scrap waste from local countertop fabricators and recycle it into new products.
