In this climate, an outdoor room earns its keep by extending the season. Fire features, seating walls, and defined gathering spaces turn a yard you look at into a yard you use — from the first warm evening in April to a fire in late October. Done well, it functions like another room of the house.
Fire is what turns a three‑month patio into a seven‑month one. It's the single highest‑value addition to most backyards here.
Cooking, dining, and sitting around a fire want different spaces. We lay them out so people aren't tripping over the grill.
Path and accent lighting makes a space usable after dark and safe to walk — and it's far cheaper to run conduit during the build than after.
We visit your property, listen to your goals, and talk budget — no pressure, no obligation.
You get a clear plan and a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Our crew does the work — on schedule, and cleaned up when we leave.
We walk it with you, then keep it sharp with seasonal cleanups and snow removal.
Wood is cheaper to build, gives you real flame and smell, and is what most people picture. Gas is instant, clean, and has no smoke to chase around the patio — but costs more up front and needs a gas line run. Both are great; it comes down to how spontaneous you want it to be.
Usually yes — seating walls, fire features, and lighting can often be added to a sound existing patio. The catch is the base: if the existing patio is already settling, we'd rather fix that than build on top of it.
Layered plantings, a pergola, or a screening hedge usually solve it more attractively than a fence — and in a lot of yards, faster than you'd expect.
