Outdoor Living, Explained — Part 2
Design Is the Multiplier
From our Founder, Ben Dennett

Two landscape designs can use the same materials, the same square footage, and cost two very different amounts.

The difference isn’t materials.

It’s design.

Design controls:
• proportion
• flow
• focal points
• how spaces connect
• what you notice — and what you don’t

You’re not only paying for plants, pavers, lumber, or fire features.

You’re paying for how everything works together.

That’s why well-designed outdoor spaces feel effortless — and poorly designed ones feel “off,” even if you can’t explain why.

Good design doesn’t scream.

It quietly elevates everything around it.

Outdoor Living, Explained — Part 1
There Are Levels (And That’s Okay)
From our Founder, Ben Dennett

One of the biggest misconceptions about outdoor living is that everything is trying to solve the same problem.

It’s not.

There are levels to outdoor solutions:
• off-the-shelf products
• semi-custom installations
• fully designed, site-specific outdoor spaces

None of them are “wrong.”
But they are not interchangeable.

A prefab fire pit from a big-box store is a product.
A custom fire feature is a designed element.

They differ in longevity, scale, how they fit the site, and how they age over time.

When people are disappointed with an outdoor project, it’s usually not because of budget — it’s because expectations didn’t match the solution.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll break down outdoor living costs, design, and decision-making so people can make informed choices before they ever start.

Design doesn’t just change how a space looks.

It changes how it lives.

Outdoor Living, Explained
Series Introduction
From our Founder, Ben Dennett

Over the years, one thing has become clear to me: most people start outdoor living projects with the wrong expectations — not because they’re careless, but because they’ve never been shown how these spaces are actually designed, planned, and built.

Outdoor living is often marketed as a quick, off-the-shelf solution. But the best outdoor spaces are still created the same way they've always been: through thoughtful design, coordination, and long-term planning.

So over the next few weeks, we’re launching a short series called Outdoor Living, Explained.

We’ll break down:
1. what outdoor living really costs — and why
2. the difference between products and permanent spaces
3. where design has the biggest impact
4. how to make decisions that hold up over time

Not to sell.
Not to judge.
Just to help people make informed choices before they ever start a project.

If you’re thinking about investing in an outdoor space — or simply want a clearer picture of what goes into doing it well — we invite you to follow along over the coming weeks.

From our Founder, Ben Dennett
Projects like this don’t come together overnight.
This particular outdoor space took months of design, coordination, and planning — and more than a year from concept to completion.
Most projects aren’t that extensive… but the lesson is the same:
It’s never too early to start the conversation.
February is one of the best times of the year to begin:
• early design discussions
• site planning and budgeting
• material selections
• permitting and scheduling
• building a clear path before spring demand hits
The outdoor spaces families enjoy in July are almost always the ones that started on paper in the winter.
If you’re thinking about an outdoor living project this year or next, now is a great time to get ahead of it.
Let’s start designing.

From our Founder, Ben Dennett

2025 was a record year for Vibrant Outdoors.

We finished at $6,000,000 in sales — the highest in our company’s history. And what makes that milestone even more meaningful is remembering where it began.

In 2001, VBO was one truck and $300,000 in sales.

This business has been built the hard way — one season at a time. Today, we’re entering our 25th year with a team that continues to raise the standard…in an industry where longevity is earned.

I’m proud of what we’ve built, but more than anything, I’m grateful for our incredible people, our dedicated partners, and the loyal customers who’ve trusted us for over two decades.

As we continue to rise, we look down with gratitude…and up with excitement.

Cheers to what’s next in Year 25!

From Unused Deck to Backyard Haven

The homeowners had a deck they never used; too hot, no shade, no privacy. It wasn’t working.

We removed the deck and brought them down to ground level, creating a space that actually invites people to gather. The transformation includes:

Sand Matrix concrete patio

Fire pit for cozy nights

Retaining wall & boulder accents for structure and style

Lush landscaping for privacy and beauty

The result? A backyard that feels intimate, comfortable, and ready for family and friends. No more unused deck, this space is now the heart of the home.

The Value of Well-Designed Neighborhood Entrances and Common Areas

Whether it’s an HOA neighborhood or a multifamily community, high-quality landscaping does far more than improve appearances. It directly increases home values, strengthens rental demand, and enhances the overall perception of the community.

Upgraded entrances, enhanced frontages, and well-designed common areas create:

Strong first impressions that attract buyers and renters

Higher perceived value for every home or unit

Better resident satisfaction and longer retention

Amenities that feel intentional, inviting, and well-managed

A cohesive, upscale look that sets the community apart

Research consistently shows that well-designed landscaping can raise property values by 5–20%. When the entire neighborhood or property invests in quality outdoor spaces, every resident benefits—from improved curb appeal to increased long-term value.

At Vibrant Outdoors, we partner with HOAs, property managers, and multifamily communities to design, build, and maintain landscaping that elevates the entire property.

If your community is ready to improve its appearance and its value, we’re here to help.

Remembering Where We Came From

As the holidays approach, I’ve been thinking a lot about the places that shaped me. This morning I came across a photo that triggered me to share.

In 2000, I drew a picture of the small, humble house I grew up in and gave it to my aging parents for Christmas. It was the only home I ever knew before buying my own. My mother has since passed, but my dad still keeps that drawing framed above his bed — a simple reminder of our roots.

It was in that house, and in the woods and outdoor spaces around it, that I discovered my love for the outdoors, for art, and for drawing. Those early experiences taught me how meaningful a beautiful outdoor space can be — how it can inspire, comfort, and bring people together.

That passion became the foundation of Vibrant Outdoors and the work we do today: designing and building outdoor living spaces where families create memories that last.

This season, I’m grateful for where I started… and for everyone who allows us to help shape the places they call home.

Here’s to remembering, reflecting, and appreciating the spaces that bring us together and make us who we are.
