A price isn't the same as advice. Free estimates get you a number. Our consultation gets you someone who walks your yard with you, asks how you want to use it, and tells you what's worth doing and what isn't. You'll leave knowing more about your property, whether you hire us or not. Book a consultation at the link in bio.

A pool is only part of the project. The patio, drainage, plantings, and lighting around it matter too.

Chris asked Jason from Denali Pools what he liked most about working with us. He said it was knowing the customer would be taken care of by a team with real experience. Not every contractor follows through on what they promise. That part we take seriously.

What would you add around your new pool first: shade, a patio, or plants?

Fire pit season is officially here. A round gravel fire pit area, a ring of pavers, and a few bright Adirondack chairs, with a stepping-stone path leading right to it. Simple, comfortable, and exactly where everyone ends up once the sun goes down.

A modern Hill Country home deserves an outdoor space to match.

These homeowners wanted a clean, modern look, and we found some smart ways to get there without spending more than necessary.

We used stained and stamped concrete to get the look of custom tile at a lower cost. And instead of ordering a pergola kit online, we built a custom steel pergola that fits the space perfectly for about the same price.

We also coordinated with Denali Pools to make sure the new pool and surrounding spaces worked together, added raised vegetable beds, and tackled some serious drainage challenges caused by runoff from the higher neighboring property.

A lot of planning went into this one, including plenty of work you can’t see. But that’s what makes the finished space work as good as it looks.

Nobody’s saving gutter inspiration, but this stuff matters.

We added gutters to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it into the underground drainage system instead of letting it pour into the yard and toward the pool.

Not the most exciting part of the project, but one of the reasons everything else works.

Western red cedar is a great choice for a pergola because it holds up well outdoors and can last for years with the right care.

We used a solid stain instead of paint. It gives you that clean, finished look while soaking into the wood instead of sitting on top like paint, which means less peeling and a finish that’s easier to maintain over time.

Some of the most important work in a backyard is the work you never see.

This property sits below the neighboring yard, so runoff would have been pushed straight toward the new pool. We added gutters, catch, basins, strip drains, walls, and underground piping to carry the water beneath the pool area and safely out to the natural area behind the property.

The drainage may be hidden now, but it was a big part of making this backyard work.
