We develop a tailored design concept with material recommendations, layout options, and a clear vision.
Refine & Plan
We refine every detail together — finishes, furniture, lighting — until the design feels exactly right.
Bring It to Life
We guide the build and styling process to ensure your finished space matches the vision perfectly.
Patio Design
Whether you envision a contemporary urban oasis, a rustic retreat, or a classic outdoor haven, we work closely with you to bring your vision to life. Every detail — from the material palette to the furniture layout to the lighting plan — is considered to ensure your patio seamlessly complements your home’s architecture while reflecting your personal style.

Outdoor Fireplaces
A fireplace gives your outdoor space a center of gravity — the element that pulls people in, extends the season, and transforms a backyard into a year-round destination. We design fire features that work as the organizing principle of your entire outdoor layout, from rustic stone hearths to sleek modern concrete installations.
Style and placement strategy to maximize warmth and visual impact
Fuel type guidance — wood-burning, gas, or propane options

Deck Design
The bridge between your home and the outdoors. We design decks that function as true outdoor rooms — places to eat, entertain, relax, and live — built around how you actually use them. From material selection and multi-level layouts to built-in seating and integrated lighting, every decision serves both beauty and daily function.

Lighting Design
From subtle path lights that guide your way to elegant string lights that set the mood — we design layered lighting that ensures safety, ambiance, and beauty after sunset.
Design Advice
Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or looking for professional guidance, we empower you with expert knowledge and creative direction to make confident decisions about your space.
Three rules we share with every client
Simple ideas that help an outdoor design last and be enjoyable for years.
Blend with Your Home
Consider your home’s architectural style when designing your outdoor space. Harmonizing design elements creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Material Matters
Select materials that can withstand the elements. Aluminum, teak, and high-quality synthetic wicker are excellent choices for durability that ages gracefully.
Comfort is Key
Invest in quality cushions and seating. Outdoor fabrics should be UV-resistant and moisture-proof to maintain their appeal through every season.
