Their vision was simple yet powerful: offer stylish, high-quality outdoor furniture paired with a personal, neighborly shopping experience. Over the next two decades, Backyard Living became a beloved destination for homeowners and designers seeking a more curated, inspired approach to outdoor living. In 2023, the torch was passed to husband-and-wife team Patrick and Beth Connor. As long-time admirers of the store and its legacy, they brought fresh energy, a commitment to excellence, and a vision to grow the brand while honoring its roots. Their first big step: opening a second Backyard Living location in Short Hills in early 2025. While our footprint has expanded, our philosophy hasn’t changed. We still believe that luxury outdoor living should be accessible, enjoyable, and uniquely personal. We’ve invested in creating a showroom experience that sparks creativity and simplifies the design process. With complimentary design consultations, exceptional customer care, and thoughtful touches throughout—from our White Glove delivery to our seasonal Holiday Shop—we aim to delight and surprise at every turn. What started as a single storefront has grown into a destination for the Tri-State’s most discerning outdoor enthusiasts. And we’re just getting started. Inspired. Outdoor. Living

My wife and I heard good things about this company, so our plan to buy a hot tub began here…read more The salesman who helped us was very knowledgeable about the different hot tubs, permits required and how a hot tub can be placed where we wanted it (among other things). I liked that there was no pressure to quickly buy. This store had many beautiful hot tubs on display, and I wanted to get one ASAP, but there were things to do before hand: like measuring my space, hiring an electrician and talking to a "crane guy" about placing the hot tub. Altogether, we have a positive experience.

EOK made our dreams come true! Will and the team of wizards at EOK built our family the most…read morewonderful outdoor chefs kitchen which we use daily basically year round. From the first meeting with the design team it was clear that EOK had the expertise and the connections throughout the industry to nail this project to perfection for oan outrageous price. EOK designed us a U-shaped kitchen with a sink, ice maker, 2 drawer fridge, alfresco 65K power burner, memphis pro 26 inch pellet smoker, alfresco 42 inch NG grill, and a awesome NG griddle. Will, the owner designed the most perfect layout of drawers for storage making this kitchen super functional. The team of pros built the project off site and delivered and installed in in a flash. The team worked tirelessly in the rain and long hours to complete the project in record time. The griddle EOK offers is very durable, reliable and gets piping hot. We use the griddle for smash burgers, cheese steaks, hibachi night, sausage and peppers and of course breakfast. The NG alfresco grill cranks to do direct cooks like hamburgers hotdogs, lamb chops, and the direct portion of reverse searing steaks. Our Memphis pellet grill is used as an oven with a wood smoked kiss flavor. With one button we set the temp and walk away. so wonderful! Favorite uses are to reverse sear bone in pork chops, ribeyes, smoked wings, ribs, and of course anything you would normally put in an oven as it reaches north of 600 degrees. Lately we have been doing pizzas on a steel at 550 and they have been coming out perfect. Will added a warmong drawer which is wonderful at parties to keep our rolls warm and also to throw the hot dips in or leftovers until we are ready for them at parties. Highly recommend the two drawer fridge which has plenty of room to keep your outdoor supplies like meat etc in the bottom drawer and we use the top drawer for drinks and condiments. Will found us our requested lovely black mist honed granite out of Virgina which really completes the modern look. EOK flawlessly installed a vertical cladding on the exterior which we painted with a tricorn black Sherman Williams color giving it a modern flair. Looks dope! EOK advice on everything including the layout , height, width, installation advice on electrical needs and plumbing was all totally on point and made this kitchen a comfortable place to cook. Just this weekend I cooked for 14 of my sons baseball friends and it was a breeze due to the recommendations EOK made. If you want your dream kitchen meet with EOK for a truly professional and worry free build. EOK for the WIN!

Just stood there staring, didn't ask what I was looking for or if I needed any help! Answered my questions by shrugging his shoulders or with a condescending rhetorical question! He couldn't be bothered, his demeanor was so lackluster and dismissive! Before leaving I asked him if he knew anything about his inventory since the space had only a select few dining and seating sets. He ranted in an angry and nonsensical manner something along the lines of not knowing anything due to buying a new company or getting bought out! Don't go here! Take your hard earned money and business elsewhere!

I have an expensive contracting company here today trying to figure it out. Four people have spent two hours here and are no where close to getting them hung. Good quality but difficult! Sharon L.
