Start with how you'll actually use it
The backyards that get used have a reason to walk into them — a fire pit that's comfortable on a cool evening, enough seating that nobody drags a kitchen chair outside, a surface that isn't wet for two days after rain.
So the first conversation isn't about materials. It's how many people you seat, whether you're cooking out there, and what time of day you're actually outside.
- Fire pits, gas or wood-burning, built into the hardscape
- Curved seating walls — permanent seating, no furniture
- Water features, from small basins to stone waterfalls
- One-off builds: pergolas, timber structures, pickleball courts
The one-off stuff
Some of our best work doesn't have a category. A backyard pickleball court. A timber walkway across a wet low spot. Describe what's in your head — worst case we tell you honestly it isn't something we do well.
What it costs
Fire pit and seating-wall projects typically start around $6,000; full outdoor rooms run $25,000+.
Custom builds get priced individually — you'll get a real number after we walk it.
- Built-in features cost more than dropped-in ones
- Gas lines and electrical add scope
- Tying into an existing patio is cheaper than starting fresh
