How we work
Four stages, no surprises. You know the plan, the price and the person in charge before we break ground.
What are we building?
Choose a project, then a time for the designer to come out.
Four stages, plainly
Book step one- 1
Free design walk
We come to you. An hour on the lot reading the slope, the clay and the light, and listening to what you want the yard to do.
- 2
Plan and samples
The layout is sketched to scale at your table that same day. The finished plan follows with a board of the actual stone, brick and plants.
- 3
Your price
Tweak it until it is right. You then get one number, with each material and quantity spelled out, that does not move once you sign.
- 4
Build and after
One crew lead on site start to finish, photos each Friday, a hand-over walk at the end. 5 years on hardscape, 1 year on plants, and a seasonal care plan if you want us back.
Common process questions
Is the design walk really free?
Yes. If you then want the scaled plan and sample board, the designer prices that design work on the spot, so you decide with the number in front of you.
Will I see a picture of the finished yard?
You get a plan drawn to scale and the real materials to hold against your house. If it helps, we can also point you to a finished yard close by.
How much should I budget?
See the typical ranges on our home page. As a guide, most patios fall between $18,000 and $45,000 and most outdoor kitchens between $25,000 and $80,000.
Do you offer payment plans?
Our lending partner does, with 2 to 15 year terms subject to approval and nothing secured against your home.
Why do you talk so much about clay?
Because it decides how a yard holds up here. Clay swells, shrinks and lifts in a freeze, so base depth, drain paths and wide planting holes are built into every plan.
Who runs the job?
Your crew lead, every day it is on site. Luis, our project manager, oversees all of them and the Friday photo update comes from the crew lead.
Price out your project
Three short steps, about a minute. A designer calls within one business day to set up a free walk of the property.
