Our Process: From Paperwork to Patio Perfection
Building your dream outdoor space should be exciting, not overwhelming. Here’s how we guide you from consultation to completion.
We make building your dream backyard simple, stress-free, and transparent. We’ve simplified the patio building process into clear steps. From the very first consultation to your final inspection, here’s exactly what you can expect when working with our team.
Free Consultation, Proposal & Deposit
We start with a free, no-obligation consultation where we learn about your vision—whether it’s a patio cover, outdoor kitchen, pergola, or full backyard transformation. After our visit, you’ll receive a detailed custom proposal with the discussed options, pricing, and scope of work.
Design Renderings & Send for Engineering Bids
Once you’ve accepted the proposal, we get to work on 3D design renderings so you can visualize your project before a single shovel hits the ground. These plans are then submitted for a detailed engineering bid, ensuring your project is structurally sound and built to last.
HOA Application & Engineering Plans
Next, we handle the engineering process and work with your Homeowners Association (HOA) to secure the required approvals. This step ensures your project follows neighborhood guidelines so there are no delays once construction begins.
Solidify Material Selections
This is where your project starts to feel real. Once the design and plans are approved, we’ll walk you through choosing your finishes and materials—everything from stone and brick to paint colors, stains, and textures.
City or County Permit Submission & Approval
After engineering plans are finalized, we submit everything to the City or County jurisdiction for the proper building permits. Our team takes care of the paperwork so you don’t have to stress about codes or compliance.
Construction Schedule, Material Delivery & First Payment
With permits in hand, we’ll set your construction start date and send a clear payment schedule reminder. Our team keeps you updated at every stage, so you’ll always know what’s happening and when.
