Backyard and Outdoor Design

Yes. We specialize in designing pools, patios, walkways, decks, and other hardscape features as part of a complete backyard plan. Integrating these elements ensures the final result looks cohesive, functions well, and maximizes the use of your space.

Our design process starts with a detailed questionnaire to understand your goals and preferences. We then do an on-site evaluation, taking measurements, elevations, and photos of your property. From there, we create 2D plans, 3D renderings, and a construction layout, all while keeping budget, functionality, and long-term performance in mind.

Yes. We design for challenging terrain using grading, retaining walls, tiered layouts, and other solutions. This allows us to create functional, level areas for entertaining, lounging, and outdoor features while maintaining proper drainage and stability.

Most outdoor design projects take 1 to 3 weeks depending on project size, how many features are included, and how quickly selections are made. A pool with surrounding hardscape and multiple outdoor features will naturally take longer than a smaller, simple layout. After your initial consultation, we’ll outline what the next steps look like and what can impact the timeline—such as approvals, revisions, or decision points for finishes and upgrades—so you always know where the project stands.

Absolutely. We plan for landscape lighting and outdoor audio systems as part of the overall design. This allows for proper placement, wiring, and integration with other features, ensuring your backyard is functional, safe, and enjoyable day or night.
