Where do we start?
With a plan for the whole yard, even if you build it in phases. That way the patio you pour this year still works with the outdoor kitchen you add later.
Outdoor Living
Backyard Remodeling
A backyard works best when it is designed as a whole — patio, shade, cooking, fire, and planting relating to each other — rather than added one piece at a time over the years.
We plan backyards as outdoor rooms: where you gather, where you cook, where the light and privacy are, and how you move between the house and the yard. Then we build the hardscape, structures, and features to that plan.
Because we self-perform the construction, the patio, pergola, outdoor kitchen, and fire feature are coordinated on one schedule instead of by separate crews that never speak to each other.
Design & build
How your project comes together
Every project follows the same clear path — so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.
- 01
Consultation
Week 1We visit your home, listen to how you live in it, and talk honestly about scope, priorities, and budget. You leave knowing whether we’re the right fit — no pressure, no vague promises.
- 02
Design & Selections
Weeks 2–6We develop the plan, produce drawings and 3D views, and guide your material and finish selections. Locking these in early is what keeps the budget and schedule honest once we build.
- 03
Estimate & Agreement
Before we buildYou receive a detailed written estimate tied to a defined scope and real selections — not placeholders. When you approve it, the number you sign is the number we build to.
- 04
Permits & Engineering
Varies by cityWe prepare complete submittals, coordinate structural and mechanical engineering, and manage plan check and corrections so your project clears review as smoothly as possible.
- 05
Construction
Project-dependentOne project manager owns the schedule and communication. Trades are sequenced so they don’t collide, the site stays protected and clean, and you always know what’s happening this week.
Honest answers
What homeowners think about first
The questions worth asking before you start — answered straight.
What about drainage?
Good outdoor spaces start with grading and drainage that keep water away from the house and off the patio. It is invisible when done right and obvious when skipped.
