Custom Paver Patios and Hardscape Installation
A great yard remodeling project starts with a solid flat base. For example, a new stone patio gives you a perfect spot to eat outdoors.
Also, we use top paving stones that beat heavy rain and hot sun. Next, our contractor team levels the ground safely before laying any stones.
Indeed, this careful prep work stops weeds and blocks ugly cracks later. We offer great custom patio and deck designs to fit your home style. Also, you can view our stunning backyard landscaping transformations to get great ideas.
Paver Installation for Patios, Walkways and Outdoor Spaces
Picking the right ground cover is a big choice for any home renovation. First, poured cement cracks very easily when the ground shakes. Instead, small paving stones flex and move safely during small earth shakes.
Also, you can replace one broken stone easily without digging up the whole yard. Plus, pavers come in many bright colors and cool shapes. Thus, your new hardscape gets a very rich look.
We provide comprehensive general construction solutions to make sure your stone base is built right.

Following City Remodeling Rules
The Bay Area has very strict rules for backyard building. First, many local towns limit how much flat cement you can pour. Also, strict drought rules control what types of plants you can use.
Therefore, a normal builder can easily fail city permit checks. Hence, getting an expert remodeling contractor is highly vital for your yard project. We manage this hard city permit process for you completely.
First, our team makes sure your new yard meets all local building rules. Finally, we handle all city planning meetings to keep your renovation moving fast.
Landscape Design and Drought-Tolerant Planting
The local area faces heavy dry spells every single year. Thus, normal green grass wastes massive amounts of clean water. Also, heavy city fines target homes that water their lawns too much.
Therefore, modern owners need smart landscaping designs that survive deep droughts easily. First, we plant local bushes that need very little water daily.
Next, we install special smart drip pipes that feed water right to the plant roots. Overall, you save money on monthly water bills fast. Before you start planning, you should read our guide on transforming your outdoor space today.
Backyard Remodeling and Outdoor Living Spaces
Many local workers stay home for their daily jobs now. Thus, people want to use their backyards as fresh air offices. However, the hot afternoon sun makes working on a laptop outside very hard.
Therefore, adding a custom shade cover is a highly asked remodeling feature today. First, we build beautiful wood shade covers that block the sun safely.
Also, we add strong outdoor power plugs to charge your laptop easily. Basically, this cool shaded spot gives your family a great place to eat outside.
We specialize in building fire safe composite outdoor decks that complete your yard office perfectly.
Lighting Your Landscape at Night
A dark yard is hard to use after the sun goes down. Thus, adding bright outdoor lights is a very smart renovation move. First, we install safe low power lights along your dark walking paths.
Also, we point soft lights up at your big trees for a rich evening look. Indeed, proper lights stop people from tripping on the stone steps at night.
Overall, your new hardscape stays completely safe and beautiful all night long.
Outdoor Kitchens, Fire Pits and Entertainment Areas
Cooking outside is a really fun way to host friends on the weekend. For instance, a custom outdoor kitchen lets you grill food while talking to guests.
Also, a warm fire pit extends your yard use into chilly winter nights. We build safe gas lines and strong stone counters for these fun cooking areas.
We always suggest checking tips for selecting a reliable exterior contractor who knows outdoor gas and water pipes correctly.
Five-Star Rated Hardscape & Landscape Contractors
Retaining Walls, Drainage and Grading
Heavy winter rain can flood your flat yard very quickly. Thus, standing water kills your plants and breeds annoying bugs. Therefore, fixing your yard drain pipes is a key step during any hardscape remodeling project.
First, we hide special drain pipes deep under your new patio stones. Also, we slope the dirt to push water away from your main house walls.
Indeed, this smart renovation planning stops hidden water damage from rotting your home framing.
Adding Beautiful Walkways and Paths
Walking through dirt or wet mud ruins your shoes quickly. Therefore, adding clean stone paths is a great idea for any home improvement plan.
First, we build solid paths that connect your front yard to your back patio smoothly. Also, we use matching stones to tie the whole outdoor remodeling design together nicely.
Indeed, clear paths keep your guests off your delicate green plants. Truly, this simple landscaping addition makes your property feel much larger.
