What This Is

The backyard you have been putting off.

Backyard retreats are full project builds that coordinate outdoor living, hardscaping, shade structures, lighting, turf, and whatever else the space needs to actually feel finished. Scoped honestly, quoted before we start, and built with the right crew.

Common Questions

What people usually ask
before they request a quote.

It depends on what the space needs. Most retreat projects involve some combination of hardscaping, shade structures, outdoor living areas, lighting, and turf or landscaping. The scope is built around your property and your goals.

Project timelines depend heavily on the scope. Smaller builds can be completed in a week or two. Larger full-yard transformations can run several weeks. Timeline is part of the scoping and planning conversation before we start.

No. Bring your general idea and your property. We help scope what makes sense for the space and your budget, then give you a real quote before anything starts.

Yes. Some homeowners prefer to build out the backyard in phases over time. That is a common and reasonable approach and can be planned around from the start.
