Outdoor Living Design

Design · Renderings · Material selection

On-site design consultations, layout drawings, and 3D renderings so you see zones, materials, and finishes before we dig. Included with any full outdoor-living build.

On-site consult

In-yard walk with sketch and rough budget on the first visit.

Scaled drawings

CAD layout with dimensions, elevations, and material call-outs.

3D renderings

Photo-real renderings on larger builds so you see it before we dig.

Material selection

Samples brought to your home — paver, stone, wood, and lighting.

Do you charge for design?

Design is included with any build we contract. Standalone design is quoted per scope.

Can I use your design with another builder?

Standalone plans are yours; that's fine.

Do you provide drawings?

Yes — layout plans and material boards come with the proposal so you can see the build before we mobilize.

Can the project be phased?

Absolutely. We design the full yard, then build in stages so budget and schedule stay comfortable.

How long does a full backyard build take?

Most full builds run 3–8 weeks depending on masonry, structures, and pool coordination.

Landscape Design & Hardscaping

Grading · Beds · Hardscape · Planting

Integrated hardscape and landscape design — grading, hardscape, planting beds, irrigation stubs, and lighting on a single plan so nothing gets torn up twice.

Full-yard grading

Positive grade away from the home on every side, tied into drains.

Hardscape-first sequencing

Walls and patios set before beds and plantings — no re-work.

Irrigation & lighting stubs

Sleeves and conduit run under hardscape before it locks in.

Planting coordination

Bed prep and planting palette coordinated with a landscape partner.

Do you plant?

We coordinate with a trusted landscape partner for planting; we own the grading, beds, and hardscape.

Do you do plantings too?

We handle hardscape in-house and coordinate planting, irrigation, and lighting with trusted partners.

Is there a design fee?

Design is included with the build. Standalone plans are quoted separately.

How do you handle drainage problems?

We grade for positive runoff and add channel drains, dry wells, or French drains where the yard needs them.

How far ahead should I book?

Spring and summer fill fast — most clients book 4–8 weeks out.

Frequently Asked

Answers before
you call.

01

Can you coordinate gas and electric?

Yes — we coordinate our licensed plumber and electrician for every gas line, ignitor, outlet, and lighting circuit. Every permit and inspection is pulled and closed under License # 58161-H.

02

How much does an outdoor kitchen cost on Long Island?

Real ranges start around $18–25k for a masonry island with a quality grill, and scale from there — $30–60k typical for stone countertops, side burners, refrigeration, and a pergola overhead.

03

How much does an outdoor fireplace cost?

Wood-burning masonry fireplaces on Long Island run $12–25k depending on chimney height, stone selection, and hearth detail. Gas fireplaces with the same masonry surround sit $2–4k above that once you factor the burner kit and gas line.

04

Do you build pergolas and pavilions?

Yes — cedar and aluminum pergolas, and full masonry-column pavilions with tongue-and-groove ceilings, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and integrated heaters.

05

Do you install outdoor lighting?

Yes — low-voltage step lights, wash lights, path lights, and hardscape lighting on timers or app control. Every hardscape project we build is pre-wired at the base stage so lighting can be added later without cutting stone.

06

How long does a full outdoor living project take?

Most full outdoor living builds — kitchen, patio, fire feature, lighting — run 4–8 weeks from demo to punch. Appliance lead times (grills, refrigerators, ignitors) usually drive the schedule more than the build itself.

07

Can you tie a new patio and outdoor kitchen into an existing pool?

Yes — pool surround, coping, and deck extensions integrate cleanly with existing gunite, vinyl, and fiberglass pools. We coordinate with your pool company for any coping demo and re-set.

08

Will an outdoor kitchen or fireplace survive Long Island winters?

Yes — every masonry structure we build sits on frost-depth footings and uses freeze-rated stone, brick, and mortar. Grill inserts, burners, and refrigerators are winter-rated and covered per manufacturer spec.

09

Do you offer financing on outdoor living projects?

Yes — approved financing with terms from 60 to 120 months, subject to credit. Most outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and pool deck projects qualify. Pre-qualification takes about a minute and doesn't affect your credit score.
