Your backyard should be more than a lawn -- it should be a place where family and friends gather year-round. Mersa Landscape & Design creates complete outdoor living spaces for homeowners across Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Wooster, and communities throughout Northeast Ohio. We build with Blaze outdoor appliances because they deliver commercial-grade performance in a residential setting.
From full outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, refrigerators, and prep stations to handcrafted stone fireplaces and intimate fire pit gathering areas, every project is designed to extend your living space into the outdoors. Every outdoor living project starts with a free 3D rendering so you can explore your new space before construction begins.

Outdoor Living FAQ
Outdoor kitchen costs in Northeast Ohio depend on the size of the cooking area, appliance package, countertop materials, and whether the kitchen is freestanding or built into a larger patio project. A basic outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and counter space starts at a different price point than a full setup with a refrigerator, sink, and multiple Blaze appliances. We include a free 3D rendering with every estimate so you can see exactly what your investment looks like before construction begins.
Many of our Northeast Ohio clients use their outdoor kitchens well into fall and even through winter, especially when paired with a pavilion for overhead coverage and a fireplace or fire pit nearby for warmth. Blaze appliances are built with 304 stainless steel that handles cold temperatures without issue. We recommend winterizing water lines if your kitchen includes a sink, but the grill, side burners, and refrigerator can operate year-round with basic maintenance.
Natural stone and masonry are the best choices for outdoor fireplaces in Northeast Ohio because they handle Ohio's temperature swings without cracking or deteriorating. We build our fireplaces with firebrick-lined fireboxes and natural stone or block veneers that complement the surrounding landscape. The specific stone selection depends on the look you want -- from rustic fieldstone to clean-cut block -- and we show you material options in your 3D rendering during the design phase.
Most outdoor living projects in Northeast Ohio take between three and six weeks from the start of construction to final walkthrough, depending on complexity. A standalone fire pit is on the shorter end, while a full outdoor kitchen with a fireplace and paver patio takes longer. The design phase before construction typically takes one to two weeks, including your property visit, 3D rendering, and revisions. We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Permit requirements in Northeast Ohio depend on the scope of the project. Gas line connections for outdoor kitchens and permanent fireplace structures often require permits or inspections. We handle the permitting process as part of our project management so you do not have to navigate county offices yourself. During your free estimate, we will let you know exactly what permits apply to your specific project and timeline.
