A complete backyard transformation, designed and built by Linx Outdoors: over 900 square feet of premium paver slabs, a custom gas fireplace, an outdoor kitchen island with granite countertops and lighted steps up to the home's wrap-around porch.
This Franklin backyard transformation was thoughtfully designed and built by Linx Outdoors, combining modern hardscape elements, custom craftsmanship and functional outdoor living spaces to create a seamless extension of the home.
When we started, the yard behind the home's covered porch was open lawn. Today it holds a spacious patio for dining and entertaining, a gas fireplace, an outdoor kitchen island and new steps that tie it all back to the porch.
From the initial design and material selections to the final installation, every element was carefully planned to complement the home's architecture and create a cohesive outdoor environment. The design placed the kitchen island, the dining and fireplace areas, the steps up to the porch, the plantings and the lighting before construction began, so every phase of the build worked toward the same finished space.

The standout feature is a 10-foot custom gas fireplace with a Warming Trends burner system. Set in front of the porch steps with seating on both sides, it gives the outdoor living area an impressive focal point and a warm place to gather on cool Indiana evenings.
The project features over 900 square feet of premium 24" × 36" paver slabs, creating a spacious, contemporary patio designed for entertaining and everyday relaxation. A darker paver border frames the edges, and the layout leaves room for a full dining table, the kitchen island and a lounge area around the fireplace.
A custom outdoor kitchen island with granite countertops provides a sophisticated space for gathering and entertaining. It sits on the patio just off the porch, beside the grill, so cooking, serving and conversation all happen in one place, and low-voltage lights under the countertop keep it glowing after dark.
Newly poured concrete steps with integrated low-voltage lighting create a seamless transition from the patio to the home's wrap-around porch. The lights are set right into the step faces, so the way up is easy to see after dark.
Low-voltage LED lighting carries the space into the evening, with lights built into the porch steps, undercap lights beneath the kitchen island countertop and the fireplace cap, and pathway lights along the edge of the patio.
The result is a seamless extension of the home, built with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design: an outdoor living space that is as functional as it is beautiful.
