Backyard Design

What it takes

The yard as one project, not six.

A backyard done piece by piece ends up feeling like it. The patio does not meet the lawn properly, the kitchen faces the wrong way, and nothing quite connects.

We design the whole thing first: where you cook, where you sit, where you swim, and how you get between them. Then we build it with the same team.

  • One design covering the whole yard
  • Levels and drainage worked out before anything is poured
  • Built by the same crew that drew it

Scope

What we take on.

Patios and decks

Sized and placed for the way the space is actually used, with the levels resolved against the house and the slope.

Outdoor kitchens and bars

Cooking, prep and seating in one run, with gas, water and drainage put in properly.

Fire pits and fireplaces

Built in rather than dropped on, and vented and clear of anything that should not be near a flame.

Planting and landscaping

Beds, lawn and screening designed with the hardscape rather than filled in around it afterwards.

Pathways and stone walkways

Routes that make sense at night and in the rain, on bases that do not settle.

Water features

Specified so they can be serviced, and plumbed so they do not become the thing you stop switching on.

Common Questions

The things people ask us first.

Do you design as well as build?
Yes. We produce the layouts and 3D designs, and we build what we draw. That is the point: nothing gets lost between the designer and the crew.
Can we phase it?
Often. We will tell you which parts have to happen together, because splitting the wrong two costs more than doing both.
What about permits?
Handled in-house, with whichever city or county you are in.

We will walk the site, tell you straight what it will take, and put a real number on it. The visit and the estimate are free.
