What We Build

Backyard Features We Install in Orange County

From a simple paver patio to a complete outdoor living room with a kitchen, fire pit, and pergola — we design and build it all. Every project is managed by Benji, start to finish.

Paver Patios & Walkways

Concrete pavers, travertine, or natural stone — installed with proper drainage and a base that will not shift over time. Clean lines, no grout cracking, built to last in the OC climate.

Pergolas & Shade Structures

Freestanding or attached pergolas, alumawood patio covers, and sail shade structures that make your outdoor space comfortable year-round — especially critical during warm OC summers.

Outdoor Kitchens & BBQs

Built-in BBQ islands, countertop prep space, refrigerators, and outdoor bar setups. We handle gas lines, electrical, and plumbing — fully permitted and ready to entertain.

Artificial Turf & Landscaping

High-quality synthetic turf that stays green without the water bill — a smart choice for drought-conscious homeowners in Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and across South OC. We also do clean landscaping and planting beds.

Pool Decks & Surrounds

Cool-deck resurfacing, travertine or paver surrounds, coping replacement, and complete pool deck rebuilds. We work around existing pools and equipment without disrupting landscaping.

Fire Pits & Water Features

Custom gas fire pits, fire tables, and decorative water features that give your backyard personality and a reason to stay outside after sunset. Built to code with proper gas and electrical hookups.

Orange County's weather deserves a better backyard.

300+ days of sunshine a year and most OC homeowners are still eating inside. We fix that.

No project manager shuffle, no voicemail limbo. Benji Darey runs every project personally and is reachable throughout. That is the entire sales pitch.

Fully permitted work

We pull every required permit for structural elements, gas lines, and electrical. Unpermitted work can kill a home sale in Orange County — we do it the right way so your investment is protected.

Clean site, every day

Your backyard is where your family lives. We respect that. Tools get put away, debris gets removed on schedule, and you can use your space during the project whenever possible.

Progress updates without asking

We send weekly photo updates so you know exactly where your project stands. No need to drive by or chase status. You stay in the loop from start to finish.

How It Works

From Concept to Cookout

Our three-step backyard process is designed for homeowners who want a great result without having to become project managers themselves.

1

Design & Quote

We meet at your property in Irvine, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, or wherever you are in OC. We sketch the concept, talk through materials and budget, and put together a detailed written quote — no vague estimates.

2

Permits & Scheduling

We pull permits for anything structural, gas, or electrical. We schedule trades in the right sequence and tell you who is coming and when. No day-of surprises at your door.

3

Build & Handoff

Construction runs on the agreed schedule. We close out with a walkthrough — you inspect every detail, punch list items are handled immediately, and your new outdoor space is yours to enjoy.

Common Questions

Backyard Remodel FAQ

What Orange County homeowners ask us most before starting a backyard project.

Do I need a permit for a backyard remodel in Orange County?
It depends on what you are building. A paver patio or artificial turf installation typically does not require a permit. Structures like pergolas, patio covers, outdoor kitchens with gas lines, and electrical work generally do require permits from your city. We handle all permit applications and inspections — you do not have to deal with the city yourself. Unpermitted improvements can cause problems when you sell, so we always do it correctly.
What if my HOA has restrictions on backyard structures?
Many communities in Orange County — Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Aliso Viejo, and others — have active HOAs with design review requirements. Before we submit any plans or begin work, we help you identify what approval you need and provide the documentation your HOA will want to see. We have worked in most major HOA communities in South OC and know how to navigate the process without unnecessary delays.
How long does a backyard remodel take?
A straightforward paver patio with turf can be completed in 1 to 2 weeks. A full outdoor living space with a pergola, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and pavers typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on permit lead time. We build a schedule before we start and stick to it. We will give you a realistic completion date at the time of your estimate.
Does Southern California's weather affect the timeline?
Orange County weather is one of the reasons outdoor projects are such a great investment here — we work nearly year-round without significant weather delays. Occasional Santa Ana winds or winter rain can cause minor scheduling adjustments, but these are rare and short. We factor typical weather patterns into every project timeline so surprises are minimal.
How much does a backyard remodel cost in Orange County?
Costs vary widely based on scope and materials. A clean paver patio with artificial turf typically starts in the $15,000–$30,000 range. A full outdoor living setup with a pergola, built-in BBQ, and fire pit can range from $40,000 to $80,000 or more.
