One of the problems with these Backyard Paradises, even in a place as temperate as San Diego, is the inevitable night chill. And that’s where a fireplace suddenly makes all kinds of sense. The Outdoor GreatRoom Company actually has more ideas in that regard than I can cover in a single blog.

Alpina has added another facet to their company, namely, outdoor space gas heaters. They have remote controls and would look wonderful on any patio or outdoor space, either residential or commercial. The Light Fire heater takes this one step further by providing a LED light in its lower base.

Attika has just the thing for those cool fall nights. With something like this, you can extend the barbecues/al fresco dining period until the snow actually does fly in your part of the world. And here in San Diego, we may well do it throughout the winter.

One of my favorite companies is Stone Forest because. well, that’s what today’s blog is about in some respects, just the things I like about Stone Forest.
