The best outdoor features depend on how you want to enjoy your space. A fire pit creates a cozy spot for gatherings, while a paver patio or outdoor kitchen is great for entertaining. For a peaceful retreat, a water feature adds tranquility, and a pergola can provide shade and style. Focus on how you’ll utilize the space, whether for relaxation, socializing, or both, and consider practical factors such as size, layout, and maintenance to bring your vision to life.

FAQs About Outdoor Living in Indiana
What types of outdoor living features should I incorporate into my landscape?
How do outdoor living spaces add value to my home?
Professional outdoor living installations, such as patios, decks, and fire pits, enhance property value and attract buyers by transforming unused spaces into functional, stylish extensions of your home. These additions provide more space for relaxation and entertaining, while enhancing your property’s curb appeal and making it stand out in the market.
What are the benefits of spending more time outdoors?
Spending more time outdoors offers great benefits for both physical and mental health. It’s a chance to relax, connect with nature, and reduce stress. Outdoor spaces also provide opportunities to strengthen relationships, whether by bonding with family, enjoying time with friends, or simply finding a peaceful retreat from daily life.
How can I make my outdoor space usable throughout the year?
Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces extend your season by providing warmth during cooler months. Pergolas offer protection from the sun and light rain, while strategic lighting creates ambiance for evening use. A landscaper can help you design an outdoor space that works throughout the seasons.
Are outdoor living spaces hard to maintain?
Not at all! When built with premium materials like Unilock pavers, outdoor spaces are designed for durability and low upkeep. Plus, with professional installation and our year-long patio warranty, you can enjoy your space worry-free; all it takes is simple care to keep it looking beautiful.

Have Been Saying About Us
This company did an amazing job with our front yard landscape! Shawn was very professional and had great communication with us and made sure it was everything we wanted and within our budget!
I came upon Midwest Landscape after looking for contractors for a patio. I spoke with Shawn at Midwest Landscape and he came by the house we discussed what I was looking for. Later, I went to his office for a 3D design and I was ready for my backyard makeover. His site manager and crew were fantastic from start to finish, professional throughout the job, and the clean-up was nothing short of great.
Midwest Landscape was quick to provide an estimate and include input on options for the job. It was done in a very professional manner and surpassed my expectations. I love my new backyard.
Shawn and Dave made the process so easy. They were very responsive on any questions I had and did an amazing job on my landscaping needs. I am very pleased to show off my house now with the work they done. Will be using them in the future. Pricing was great. Thank you and to your team.
Amazing service! Great crew! Finished my very large project in a few weeks. They were very communicative and helpful and responsive! Would HIGHLY recommend!
Shawn did an excellent job of bringing our landscaping dream to reality. He provided us 3D photos of what we would get installed, a home visit to walk thru our exterior design, a choice of different plant options, professional advice, great communication, and a list of how much and when to water our plants. MLS’s crew was always on time, worked thru the heat, & cleaned up after they were done for the day. Dave did a great job leading his crew & when I had questions for Miguel he knew all the answers. My wife and I are extremely...
Shawn was quick to respond to our inquiry, stop by, and give us an estimate. He helped us to meet all of our needs while sticking to a strict budget, offering ideas along the way. I did seek estimates elsewhere and found pricing to be comparable but decided to go with Midwest because of the quality of their work. His crew did an awesome job and took the time to do things the right way. I would absolutely use this company again and recommend to others.
I can not say enough GREAT things about Shawn and MLS for any of your sod/landscape/custom brick patio and stone work!! Shawn was incredibly responsive, professional and went above and beyond in every way imaginable. The work was also reasonably priced. His crew (shout out to Dave, Victor, Julio, Aydan and Victor the second) were exceptional during every aspect of the installation process. I HIGHLY recommend MLS for all of your landscape needs/design. Thank you Shawn and your outstanding crew!!!
We worked with Shawn to figure out what we wanted for our patio. He was very helpful and patient with us. Dave and his crew did an amazing job on the install. The landscaping crew that came back to complete the job was also great. We highly recommend Midwest Landscape Specialists.
Shawn and his team did a fantastic job landscaping round my pool. Very satisfied with the job done. Amazing.
