Fire Pit

There’s nothing like a summertime evening spent around an open fire to make the most out of a cool Bay Area night. No matter whether you whip out some marshmallows, an acoustic guitar, a bottle of your favorite wine, or simply bask in the glow of your new fire pit, this elegant outdoor addition is sure to be a hit with your neighbors, family, and friends. Opt for a simple wood-burning fire pit for scaled-back sophistication or go for a full outdoor fireplace for the ultimate in outdoor comfort. No matter which design you choose, our landscaping professionals are sure to give you an outdoor fire pit that you will love for years to come.

Outdoor Kitchen

Just imagine it — your whole family is gathered around your classy outdoor dining table as you throw some shrimp on the barbecue and get ready to present a stunning summertime meal. Perhaps you throw some ribs onto the barbecue smoker, or grab some fresh ice cubes from the built-in icemaker. With outdoor kitchens, the possibilities for customization are endless. From built-in griddles for outdoor brunch, to Tuscan-style pizza ovens, to vine-covered pergolas, the possibilities for creating your perfect outdoor kitchen are endless. If you’re not yet ready to opt for a full outdoor kitchen, our contractors can create beautiful built-in barbecues or outdoor bars for everything from backyard wedding receptions to everyday entertaining.

Poolside Patios

If you’re one of the lucky Californians to own a swimming pool, our contractors can help you craft a poolside paradise with our professional concrete pouring services. Stamped concrete is an economical and elegant alternative to other materials that allows you to mimic everything from stone, to marble, to weathered wood. Best of all, it can withstand a lot of traffic and wear, and, with the proper sealing, is slip- and water-resistant. If you’re looking for a safe, stunning poolside patio, our Bay Area contractors are here to deliver.

Outdoor Shower

After an afternoon spent swimming in your outdoor pool or simply basking in the summer sun, there’s nothing like a cool, refreshing outdoor shower to prepare you for the evening ahead. Outdoor showers can give a beach-like feel to any home and are a perfect spot for cleaning up kids, dogs, and other mess-prone family members. They’re also a great way for visitors and guests to bathe without you having to clean your indoor bathroom every time someone stays at your house.

Outdoor Living Room

For the ultimate in outdoor entertaining, consider equipping your backyard with an outdoor living room. Whether you choose to add living room amenities to your existing patio or build a surface completely from scratch, our contractors can help transform your backyard into a relaxing space for talking, TV watching, and toasting with friends. Outdoor living rooms typically consist of a cozy couch and chairs, a place to set your drink, some nice decorations. You can add a covering to your outdoor living room so you can enjoy it rain or shine, and even a fireplace for outdoor entertaining and relaxing all year long.
