Integrating Utilities into Hardscapes
Jeremy Martin

Outdoor living trends have embraced features.  Water, fire, heaters, entertainment systems, and kitchens have elevated the humble patio to truly becoming an extension of the home.  Luxurious and comfortable outdoor spaces with all the conveniences are now the norm.  Utilities are the spark that energize all these features.  Gas, water, sewer, electric, and communications are frequently part of a well planned patio or outdoor living room.  This session will introduce attendees to the process of planning utility service upgrades, integrating utilities into hardscapes, and managing the sub-contractors for installation.
