Bay Area · Furnished outdoor rooms

Neglected ground becomes finished architecture.

Fire lounges. Dining terraces. Furnishings, drainage, stone, and lighting engineered as one build—documented before anything disappears.

The standard

Four gates before your yard is called finished.

  1. 01

    Intake & access

    Address, gates, pets, grade, storage, and the outcome you want.

  2. 02

    Site diagnosis

    Drainage, disposal volume, material access, and square-foot math.

  3. 03

    Written build plan

    Rock type, depth, barrier spec, staging, schedule, and cleanup.

  4. 04

    Photo-documented build

    Every critical layer captured before the next goes over it.

A complete exterior reset—not a weekend tidy-up.

01

Full cleanout

Bulk waste, overgrowth, buried debris, and years of accumulation removed responsibly.

02

Drainage-aware regrade

Low spots corrected and water directed before anything is covered.

03

Commercial weed barrier

Heavy-duty fabric with tuned overlaps and pinned edges—not decorative cloth.

04

Rock procurement

Material ordered, received, staged, counted, and documented.

05

Precision placement

Machine-assisted spreading, targeted compaction, raking, and hand detailing.

06

Hard edges

Steel or concrete borders hold the line and keep the composition crisp for years.

07

Furnished outdoor rooms

Weather-rated dining, lounging, shade, planters, and gas fire features are placed, sourced, installed, and documented.

Concept proof

Six different problems. Six complete answers.

Each study is designed around the lot—not copied from a stock backyard. Furniture, circulation, fire, shade, and drainage are placed before construction.
