Fire pits, covered patios and places to use the yard
A yard should be somewhere you spend time, not just something you look at. We build stone fire pits with seating, covered decks and patios for the wet months, pergolas, and putting greens for the kids or the adults.

How it goes
How these projects go
Start with how you will use it
Dinner for eight, a fire with the neighbors, a dry place to sit in November. The use decides the design.
Lay it out on the ground
We mark the size and shape in the yard so you can stand in it before we build it.
Build it
Base, structure and finish, with the wiring for lights run before the surfaces go on.
Light it and walk it
Lights on, a final cleanup, and a walkthrough with you.
Good to know
Questions about outdoor living
Can you cover a patio or deck I already have?
Usually, yes. We look at the existing structure first, because a roof adds weight that the posts and footings have to carry. Covered structures generally need a permit, and we handle it.
How big should a patio be?
Big enough for the furniture plus room to walk around it. A table for six needs about twelve by twelve feet. We mark it out on the ground with you before we build, so you can feel the size.
Do putting greens need upkeep?
Very little. It is turf made for putting, set on a shaped, compacted base. Brush it now and then and keep the leaves off it.
Ready to price it?
We come out, walk the site and give you a written price. The estimate is free.
