The experts at Poteracke Landscapes came to the rescue when the owners of the Casa Bella Inn contacted them. Located in the Historic Wine Country of Sonoma Valley, this beautiful bed & breakfast was nearly destroyed from the California Wildfires of 2017. Josh Poteracke and his team worked with the owners of the Inn to recreate the outdoor space that visitors to the inn had grown to love throughout the years.

Construction progress featuring flagstone patio with large gas fire pit and fountain

The owners of the Casa Bella Inn wanted an outdoor kitchen, with a built in grill and storage. They also wanted a large fire pit where guests could relax and unwind while sipping wine from the nearby vineyards. Josh Poteracke and his team broke the space out into sections and rebuilt one area at a time.



Custom Blaze outdoor kitchen build

When it was time to start construction on the outdoor space, Josh contacted Carri with BBQGuys.com to assist him with all the pieces needed to bring their vision to life. The final outdoor kitchen design included a 40-Inch Blaze LTE Grill, a Blaze Access Door & Triple Drawer Combo, a Blaze Double Trash & Recycling Bin, and for proper ventilation he installed two BBQGuys Island Vent Panels.

Covered patio area featuring Sunset West Wicker conversation set

Poteracke Landscapes built a large firepit measuring 6 feet and used a 48 inch Firenado Spiral Ring Burner, and topped it off with 450 pounds of BBQGuys Reflective Fire Glass in roman copper. This beautiful outdoor space wouldn't have been complete without patio furniture. To complete this look, the Solana 5 Piece Wicker Patio Conversation Set by Sunset West is a great option.
