Outdoor Living Area Design
Turn the whole backyard into rooms: dining, lounging, cooking and fire, all connected and lit for evenings.
The details, in plain English.
An outdoor living area is more than a patio. It is a set of connected rooms: a place to cook, a place to eat, a place to gather around a fire and a quiet corner to read. Designed together, they flow and feel like part of the home.
We plan zones, traffic, sightlines, shade and lighting, then phase the build to match your budget. You get a master plan, so every add-on fits the whole.
Best for
- Whole-yard transformations
- Families who entertain

Questions, answered
Where do I start with so many options?
Start with how you want to feel on a typical weekend. We turn that into zones, then show options at different budgets so you can phase the build.
Can I add features later?
Yes. A master plan means footings, conduit and gas lines can be set for features you plan to add later.
How do I get a price?

How long does it take?
