Two thirds of homeowners use their outdoor living features several times a week. AMD Direct's Ken Love presented a live and recorded webinar on April 25th for CEU credit and to help attendees learn about design principles, considerations, and trends within the outdoor living market.

Attendees learned about cold islands, fire features, water features, and outdoor kitchens. Love explained how the pandemic propelled homeowners to create an extension of the indoor space more so than a simple patio and umbrella set-up.

He went on to explain that designing unique, beautiful, functional landscapes is more than just selecting features, kitchens, and islands, it is also knowing the products selected, how to consider the location and use, and manufacturer specifications.

Love gave examples, graphic representations, and overall concepts in this must view webinar.
