Jones Backyard Resort Pavilion in Glen Carbon, Illinois

This Glen Carbon backyard was designed to feel like a private resort, where every detail invites relaxation and connection. At the heart of the space is a custom-built cedar pavilion that anchors the outdoor living area and provides shade and shelter for year-round enjoyment. Beneath the pavilion, a fully integrated outdoor kitchen with stone masonry, granite countertops, built-in grill, bar seating, and entertainment features creates a natural gathering place for guests.

A custom gas firepit seating area extends the experience beyond the kitchen, offering a warm and inviting spot to unwind on cool evenings. Surrounding the pool, the paver patio was designed with flowing curves and contrasting borders to visually connect the outdoor kitchen, pool, and lounge spaces into one cohesive backyard environment. Synthetic turf and low-maintenance landscaping were incorporated to keep the space clean, functional, and visually striking throughout the year.

This project was built to maximize entertainment, comfort, and property value, turning a standard backyard into a luxury outdoor living destination tailored for everyday enjoyment and unforgettable gatherings.
