Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full backyard renovation typically take?
It depends on scope and scale. A standard renovation takes 2–4 weeks, while larger projects with decks, outdoor kitchens, or complex grading may require 4–6 weeks. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during your consultation.
What’s included in a full backyard renovation?
It can include lawn replacement, patios, walkways, custom decks, pergolas, firepits, garden beds, drainage improvements, outdoor lighting, and layout redesign. We customize based on what your space needs.
Do I need permits for my renovation?
Some components—like decks, hardscape structures, or outdoor kitchens—may require town permits. Don’t worry. We manage all documentation and ensure compliance with Fairfield County regulations.
Can I phase the renovation over time?
Absolutely. If you’d like to divide the work into stages (for example: hardscape now, planting later), we’ll help structure a plan that supports your budget and timeline.
How do you address drainage and slope issues?
We specialize in drainage solutions like French drains, grading, swales, and dry wells. We’ll assess problem zones and engineer fixes that protect your property.
What materials do you use for patios and decks?
We work with natural stone, pavers, composite decking, pressure-treated lumber, and stamped concrete—chosen for durability, style, and maintenance level.
Can you design pet- or kid-friendly backyards?
Yes! We love building safe, usable spaces for families and furry friends. That includes turf options, fencing, shaded zones, soft planting edges, and minimal trip hazards.
What sets your backyard renovation services apart from others?
Everything we build is custom. No off-the-shelf templates or outsourced crews. You get detailed planning, high-end materials, and an experienced in-house team who actually care about getting it right.
