Broken Arrow homeowners have some of the best conditions for outdoor living in the Tulsa metro — the community’s newer construction, larger lot sizes in many neighborhoods, and mature HOA communities with established landscaping all create ideal settings for outdoor living environments that extend the home’s livable space into the backyard. These are the outdoor living ideas VistaScapes & Design most frequently designs and builds in Broken Arrow.
Outdoor Living Ideas That Work in Broken Arrow
- Attached covered patio with outdoor kitchen and fire pit – The most popular outdoor living configuration in Broken Arrow: an attached 16×20 to 20×24 gable or hip roof covered patio with a straight-run outdoor kitchen along one wall, a gas fire pit in the patio corner, and a concrete paver or travertine surface; total project typically $45,000-$75,000 depending on kitchen configuration and finish level
- Freestanding pavilion centered on an outdoor fireplace – A 20×24 to 24×30 freestanding hip roof pavilion with an outdoor fireplace as the architectural focal point; cedar T&G ceiling, ceiling fans, string lights; the outdoor living build with the highest visual impact in Broken Arrow’s residential market; $55,000-$95,000+ for structure and fireplace combined
- Pergola over expanded patio with outdoor kitchen island – A louvered or cedar pergola over an extended paver or travertine patio with a freestanding outdoor kitchen island; the entry-to-mid outdoor living investment that provides shade and outdoor cooking without the cost of a full covered structure; $25,000-$45,000 depending on pergola type and kitchen configuration
- Covered patio addition to existing pool environment – A covered structure positioned to shade the pool deck and transition area between pool and home; outdoor kitchen or bar on the pool-facing side; particularly popular in Broken Arrow’s established neighborhoods where pools were installed years ago without covered outdoor living structures; $35,000-$65,000 for structure and kitchen
- Complete outdoor living environment with all elements – Freestanding pavilion, full L-shape outdoor kitchen, masonry outdoor fireplace, water feature, travertine patio, and landscape lighting designed and built together; the comprehensive outdoor living investment that transforms a residential backyard into a genuine outdoor room; $85,000-$150,000+ depending on scale and finish level
