Create Amazing Outdoor Living Spaces! – “Hope springs forever,” wrote Alexander Pope. and “The soul rests and expands in the lives to come.” (Now we had to look it up.) Expats: speak or write extensively. On the chest, we are expanding the design of beautiful outdoor spaces. So get outdoors and create a place to enjoy yourself this year and in the future!

In general, Cher may be known for residential bricks, but they also offer quality products for exteriors, fireplaces, outdoor fire pits, and simple accent projects. From beautiful Watsontown and General Shale paving stones to versatile exterior stones and gorgeous Adair® Limestone by Arriscraft, we have an inspiring collection.

Outdoor Living Space is a Wise Investment!

A well-designed outdoor space not only enhances the enjoyment of your home but also offers excellent resale benefits. Some experts suggest around 100%* return on investment for patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens, and about 80% return on investment for fire pits. To put it bluntly, humans are drawn to expenditure time in nature. Giving to a 2014 survey, 98% of buyers have a deck or patio on their wish list**. And that’s pre-pandemic. Our point is that your investment in outdoor space will pay off when you sell it.

Outdoor Fireplaces and Fire Pits

The center of outdoor life is home! If you plan a new building, consider designing an outdoor fireplace using the same or complementary bricks. It is a beautiful example of an all-brick outdoor fireplace. See how builder @deancustomhomes chose the brick color to accent the home’s exterior. Good looking!
