Outdoor rooms you'll use
Outdoor kitchens, barbecues, fireplaces, fire pits and seating walls are some of our most-requested features. We plan the appliances, utilities, lighting and shade so they work together.
Paving that ties it together
Concrete, pavers, brick, tile and natural stone create clear connections between the entry, terraces and pool. Patio covers, arbors, decks and California rooms are planned with the right permits.
Details that last
Drainage, base preparation, transitions and waterproofing matter more than the surface. Where stone or tile is set over concrete, we use an anti-fracture membrane to help prevent cracking.
Where we build
Based in Newport Beach, we serve Orange County, selected Los Angeles cities and neighborhoods, and La Quinta. Browse all service areas →

Questions worth asking
How do we plan an outdoor kitchen that works with the rest of the yard?
Start with how you cook and entertain, and how food, people and seating will move between the house and outdoor areas.
When should barbecue appliances be selected?
Select the appliances early, during design, because each model has specific cutout dimensions, ventilation requirements, clearances and utility needs that shape the island.
Can an outdoor kitchen go beneath a patio cover?
Often, yes, but it requires careful design. The grill's manufacturer requirements, ventilation, clearances to combustible materials, the cover's construction and building and fire codes must all be considered.
