Whole-yard design-build, planned at your table
One designer plans the terrace, walls, kitchen, planting and drainage together. One crew lead builds all of it. One fixed price covers the lot.
What are we building?
Choose a project, then a time for the designer to come out.
Yards pieced together by three contractors over five summers rarely line up. The patio drains toward the new wall, the lights get trenched through fresh sod. When one plan covers everything, each piece is built in the right order and fits the next.
The first walk-through is free. Your designer measures, probes the clay, notes where the water goes and sketches the layout to scale at your table. The design work is quoted at that visit, and the plan, material board and fixed price follow about a week later.
Most whole-backyard projects we build fall between $60,000 and $150,000. Plenty of clients build in phases, and a single plan keeps phase two from undoing phase one.

Walk the yard
A designer spends about an hour on site with you, checking grades, soil, sun and where the water runs, and hearing how you want to use the space. The first visit is free.

Plan at your table
Right there at your table, the designer sketches the layout to scale, then comes back with a material board of real stone, brick and plant picks you can hold.

Fixed price
We adjust the plan until it fits how you live and what you want to spend, then send one fixed price that lists every material and quantity.

Build and hand-over
One crew lead runs the job from first stake to last plant, and a photo update lands in your inbox every Friday. Hardscape is covered for 5 years, plants for 1.
Before you start
Can we build it in stages?
Yes. We plan the whole yard once, then build it in the order that makes sense, usually drainage and walls first, planting and lighting last.
Do I keep the plan?
Yes. The scaled plan and material board are yours, whether we build every phase or not.
What does a whole yard cost?
Most land between $60,000 and $150,000. A terrace, a low wall and new beds can come in under that; a kitchen, pergola and full lighting push it higher.
