What Homeowners Say
"McKenzie's crew did a phenomenal job in creating a backyard space for us! Nothing but professionals, safe equipment operators and great attention to detail. When you have an overgrown space or storm damage, it's hard to visualize what it can be until they get after it. Highly recommend, looking forward to working with them on other projects!"

Frequently asked questions
What Homeowners Ask Before Starting a Full Outdoor Project
-
We manage everything so you don't need multiple contractors. Most outdoor living projects require grading, drainage, or retaining walls before building.
-
We often phase projects, starting with a patio or retaining wall, then adding a pavilion, fire feature, or kitchen down the road.
-
Some do. Decks, larger retaining walls, and structural elements often need permits or engineering. We handle that process when required.
-
It depends on scope. Smaller builds may take a week or two. Larger spaces with multiple elements can take several weeks. You'll receive clear scheduling and daily updates throughout.
-
We offer financing up to $100,000 through Home Service Finance, with same-day approvals available.
