Backyard Remodeling Contractor | VIP Construction & Restoration

Overview

What this service actually is.

When patio, planting, pool, kitchen, and pergola are designed at the same time, the materials line up, the sightlines work, and the budget goes further. We design a master plan even if the build is phased.

We coordinate hardscape, planting, irrigation, drainage, lighting, pool, and built structures under one project.

Master plan with site survey and grading
Drainage and irrigation design
Hardscape (patio, walls, paths)

Our process

How a backyard remodels project runs.

01

Consultation

We start with a no-pressure consultation — usually a walkthrough at your home — to understand how you use the space, the constraints, and what a successful backyard project looks like for you.

02

Design & Scope

We translate the goals into drawings, materials, and a written scope with realistic line-item pricing. Nothing vague, nothing buried.

03

Permits & Pre-Construction

We pull permits, finalize selections, schedule trades, and protect the rest of your home before demolition. You receive a written timeline.

04

Build

One project manager, consistent crew, weekly written updates, and clean job sites. Inspections handled by us.

05

Punch List & Closeout

We walk the project with you, complete the punch list, hand over warranties and care guides, and stay reachable after closeout.

Common concerns

What homeowners ask before signing.

Can we phase the build?

Yes. We plan the full design but sequence construction in phases that finish cleanly.

How do you handle drainage?

Drainage is part of the design — surface grade, area drains, French drains as needed. Hardscape goes on prepared base, not native soil.

What about HOA approval?

We prepare design drawings suitable for HOA review and adjust based on feedback.
