Yes — complete design-build from initial site assessment through final walkthrough. That includes 3D renderings so you can see the finished space before we break ground, material selection, grading and drainage engineering, utility coordination for gas, electrical, and plumbing, and construction management. One team, one contract, one point of accountability.

Absolutely. We regularly add fire pits, seat walls, outdoor kitchen counters, and water features to existing outdoor spaces. We assess your current structure, grading, and utilities, then design additions that integrate seamlessly — matching materials and grades so the new work looks like it was always part of the original design.

Natural limestone and flagstone are the top choices — they complement the Hill Country aesthetic and handle our heat and freeze cycles well. Manufactured stone veneer gives you the same look at a lower cost and is lighter, which matters for vertical features like outdoor kitchen surrounds. For fire features and high-traffic areas, we recommend engineered stone for its consistency and heat resistance.

A fire pit or seat wall takes a few days. A full outdoor kitchen with counters, gas, electrical, and plumbing typically runs 2-4 weeks. A complete backyard transformation with multiple features can take 4-8 weeks depending on scope and permitting. We provide a detailed schedule before we start, and most of the work is weather-dependent only during the grading and concrete phases.

In most San Antonio-area jurisdictions, yes — especially when gas lines, electrical, or plumbing are involved. We handle permitting as part of our design-build service, including the drawings and inspections.

It depends entirely on scope and materials. A simple fire pit starts around a few thousand dollars; a full outdoor kitchen with counters, appliances, and utilities is a significant investment. We provide detailed, itemized estimates at your consultation so you can see exactly where the budget goes and make informed trade-offs.
