Outdoor Living in Aurora
Designed for Aurora homes and the way you live.
Aurora’s newer neighborhoods, many of them on the east side near the Naperville border, are full of well-built homes with yards that were never designed. A builder patio and a stretch of lawn rarely match how families want to use the space.
We design Aurora outdoor living spaces around real use: a cooking and dining area close to the kitchen door, a lounge or fire area for evenings, and play or open lawn where it makes sense. Golf course and pond lots get special attention so the view stays open from inside the home.
What we plan for in Aurora
Our Nijjar project, on a golf course lot in neighboring Naperville, shows how a hot tub, outdoor kitchen and fire feature can fit inside tight easements without blocking the view. Many Aurora lots have the same constraints.
