The Lakes in north-central Broken Arrow is one of the community’s established residential areas with mature landscaping, quality homes, and a neighborhood character that rewards investment. Outdoor living projects in The Lakes reflect the community standard — natural materials, quality construction, and outdoor rooms designed to be used for decades.
Outdoor Kitchen Design for The Lakes Properties
The Lakes properties typically have well-established rear yards — mature trees, existing landscaping, and often existing concrete patios. Our approach in this neighborhood focuses on working with what’s already there: designing the outdoor kitchen to integrate with existing yard features, preserving mature trees by staying clear of root zones, and adding shade structures that complement established landscaping rather than overwhelming it.
Many The Lakes outdoor kitchen projects include a cedar pergola rather than an insulated aluminum cover — the natural material aesthetic fits the established neighborhood character, and the filtered shade of an open pergola works well under existing tree canopy that already provides partial shade. For clients who want full weather protection, motorized louvered pergola systems offer the best of both worlds.
