Backyard entertainment areas
If your favorite thing is having people over, your backyard should be built for it. We design entertainment areas that bring cooking, dining, lounging and play together with shade, light and easy flow.
Overview
Great entertainment spaces are about flow: guests can move easily from the bar to the dining table to the fire pit, the cook isn’t isolated, and kids and adults each have their own zones. Shade for daytime parties and lighting for evenings make the space work around the clock.
An entertainment area might combine an outdoor kitchen and bar, a pavilion or pergola, a fire pit lounge and layered lighting.
Zones to consider
Grill, prep, refrigeration and storage.
A social hub that keeps drinks close.
Shaded table space sized for your typical group.
Comfortable seating, often around a fire.
Space for kids, games or pets.
Layered lighting and power for music and screens.

04

Planning & installation
Guest count. Design for your typical gathering, with flexibility for bigger events.
Noise and neighbors. Placement, screening and planting can help keep sound and light considerate.
Utilities. Kitchens, lighting and sound need power, gas and sometimes plumbing installed by licensed professionals.
Cost factors. The number of zones, structures, kitchen scope, materials, lighting and site conditions.
Permits. Whether a permit is required depends on your city and the specifics of the structure — its size and height, whether it attaches to the house, its distance from property lines, its roof type and any electrical work. Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena each have their own building departments, while addresses in neighborhoods like Studio City, Sherman Oaks or North Hollywood fall under the City of Los Angeles (LADBS). We’ll help you understand what typically applies before you commit, and the local building department always has the final word.
