Defined gathering areas invite conversation, while integrated design elements create a seamless flow between cooking, dining, and lounging. What was once a standard outdoor space has been transformed into a thoughtfully composed extension of the home At the center of the design is one of Wilson’s most-loved features: a spa she describes as the “spa of dreams.” Positioned as a true focal point, the hot tub anchors the space both visually and experientially—delivering not only a place to unwind, but a sense of everyday luxury that exceeds her expectations. Bringing that vision to life required both creativity and technical expertise. According to Ryan Schick, Director of Sales at Allied Outdoor Solutions, the process begins with understanding how a homeowner wants to live in the space. “The process starts with coming and meeting with the homeowner and understanding how they want to use the space,” Schick said, with the goal of creating an environment that becomes more than just a backyard. From there, the design evolves through detailed renderings, allowing homeowners to visualize what’s possible before construction begins. Each plan considers both form and function—from reinforced slabs to support features like spas, to the integration of outdoor kitchens, bars, built-in audio and television systems, and fire pits with seating walls. The team also helps guide homeowners through key logistical steps, including permitting and HOA approvals, helping streamline the process from concept to completion. The result is a space that feels both elevated and deeply personal—designed not just to be seen, but to be lived in. For Wilson, it’s exactly what she envisioned: a backyard that brings people together and transforms everyday living into something extraordinary. For those inspired to create their own outdoor oasis, Allied Outdoor Solutions is currently offering a special promotion—homeowners who sign up for a project this month will receive a complimentary Big Green Egg.
