Lighting, plantings and care
Low-voltage lighting, beds and sod go in last, then a maintenance plan keeps the whole thing looking like the day it finished.
You do not have to build all five stages this year. You do have to plan all five before starting stage one. We draw the master plan free, stub utilities where future features will land, and let you build in phases without paying twice for anything.

Outdoor Living Questions, Answered
What counts as an outdoor living space?
Any built area outside the house designed to be lived in rather than looked at. In practice that means patios, walls, fire features, outdoor kitchens, walkways and shade structures, usually paired with a deck or porch. The distinction that matters is built versus planted: we handle the built half.
Do you do landscaping and planting too?
We build hardscape: stone, block, masonry and structures. Beds, sod, irrigation and plant selection are landscaping, and we coordinate with your landscaper rather than pretending to be one. We do handle grading, drainage and the soil work that has to happen before anything green goes in.
Which permits do these projects need?
It varies by project, which is why we sort it during the assessment. Ground-level patios are usually exempt. Retaining walls typically need permits and stamped engineering around four feet or when something heavy sits above. Fire features and kitchens generally need permits for gas and electrical rather than the stone itself.
Can you fix drainage while you're building?
We insist on it. Water is the reason most hardscape fails and most yards stay unusable, so grading, downspout routing and drain lines get designed into the project rather than added after. Building a patio over a drainage problem just moves the puddle somewhere more expensive.
Can you work with a patio or wall someone else built?
Yes, and we do it often: extending existing patios, rebuilding failing timber walls, adding features to a surface that’s still sound. We’ll tell you honestly whether what’s there is worth building on, because tying new work to a failing base is how a project ages badly.
How long does a typical project take?
Most patios run three to five working days, walls a week or more depending on length and access, and full backyard packages several weeks staged by trade. Weather moves ground-level work more than framing, so schedules include rain days rather than pretending Georgia is dry.
