Process

From first visit to final walkthrough

A genuinely sequential process — each step gates the next, so you never commit money before you've seen a design and a real price.

  1. 01

    Week 1 · free

    Design consult

    We come to you. We walk the property, measure, talk about how you want to live outside, and flag anything the site is telling us — drainage, access, easements, HOA constraints.

    You leave the visit with a clear sense of what's possible and roughly what it costs.

  2. 02

    Weeks 2–4

    Design and estimate

    Our designers produce a full plan of your whole yard — pool, structures, hardscape, planting, lighting — and price it line by line. Every material, every quantity, every trade.

    No allowances, no 'TBD'. The number you see is the number the builder signs to.

  3. 03

    Week 5

    Contract and deposit

    You review the design and the price, then sign the construction contract directly with the licensed builder we matched to your project. A deposit scaled to the size of your project starts the job, and you approve each milestone draw before money is released. We're paid by your builder out of the contract price — nothing is added on top.

    We handle permits, HOA submittals, and the build schedule while materials are ordered.

  4. 04

    Typically 8–14 weeks

    Build

    Your builder's crew does the work. We stay on the project — site checks, schedule management, change-order review, and punch-list enforcement until the final walkthrough.

    You get one point of contact and weekly updates, start to splash.

Step one is free.
