The service

We build the yard like a room

In Los Angeles the backyard is where the year actually happens, so we treat it like a room and plan it like one. It starts on paper, from 3D renderings to construction ready drawings for permits and city approval, so you can walk the whole yard before we break ground.

Then we build it. Carpentry and welding are handled in house for decks, pergolas, and fences, and the concrete, stucco, landscaping, and pool work run through the top notch local trades we have worked with for years. One company keeps the whole yard on schedule and on budget.

How your backyard project runs.

Good questions

Backyard projects, answered.

Do you design the backyard, or only build it?

Both. We start with the design, from 3D renderings to construction ready drawings for permits and city approval, so you see the whole yard before any digging starts.

Do backyard structures need permits?

Pergolas, covers, and decks often do, and we handle the permits and inspections as part of the job. Our drawings are made construction ready for exactly that.

Do you install pools?

We design and build the full space around the pool, and the pools themselves run through the top notch local pool contractors we have worked with for years, all coordinated by us.

Can the backyard be built in phases?

Yes. We design the full picture, then build it in stages that fit your budget, so the plan stays coherent even if the work is spread out.

What does a backyard project cost?

Every yard is different, so we skip the vague ballparks that balloon later. After a free visit you get a fixed written price for the full scope, and you approve it before any work begins.

What about the rainy season?

We schedule around it honestly. Your written schedule accounts for weather, not wishful thinking, so the timeline you approve is one we can hold.

Can you match the backyard to my interior remodel?

Absolutely. Because we handle interiors and exteriors under one roof, materials, finishes, and lines can carry from inside the house out into the yard.
