Outdoor design on the Bellarine Peninsula
Outdoor design on the Bellarine Peninsula plans how entertaining, dining and relaxation areas connect with the home and wider landscape. CMS Landscaping provides outdoor living space design for residential properties, incorporating features such as decks, pergolas, paving, fire pit areas, outdoor kitchens, planting and other landscape elements. We work across the Bellarine Peninsula, with projects also extending into Geelong, the Surf Coast and Southwest District.
Outdoor kitchen design and entertaining and living areas
An outdoor kitchen design should consider its position within the entertaining area and how people will move between the home, cooking, dining and surrounding outdoor spaces.
An outdoor living space design starts with how the area will be used. A space intended for dining may require different access, surfaces and features from an area designed around a fire pit, pool or garden.
Where an outdoor kitchen forms part of a larger landscape project, CMS Landscaping can coordinate the surrounding landscape construction and incorporate the area into the overall outdoor design.
Al fresco design and fire pits connected to the Bellarine Peninsula landscape
An al fresco design can extend an indoor living or dining area into the landscape. Its relationship with doors, pathways, gardens, lawns and other outdoor areas influences how effectively the space connects with the rest of the property.
Fire pit areas can create a dedicated gathering space within the garden or entertaining area. Their location should be considered in relation to circulation, surrounding materials, seating areas and other parts of the landscape.
CMS Landscaping can incorporate a fire pit area into a broader custom outdoor living design alongside paving, retaining walls, pathways and planting.
