Outdoor Living in Gainesville

North Florida gives you nine months of evenings worth sitting outside. Outdoor living is the room we build for them: a paver patio, a wall to sit on, a fire to sit around, lights that come on at dusk, and speakers you cannot see.

02Section

What goes in before anything shows

Outdoor Living in Gainesville is decided below the surface. Scroll and the ground comes apart.

01Mulch. Top dressing. It holds water in the sand and keeps the bed edge honest.
02Amended topsoil. The planting layer. What goes in here decides whether the plants live.
03Irrigation lateral. Poly line and risers, zoned for turf, beds and trees before anything is planted over them.
04Compacted base. Under every paver and walkway, so the surface stays level through a Florida rainy season.
05Subgrade. North Florida sand. Everything above it is a decision somebody made.

Kitchens and fire features

Built-in grills, counters, fire pits and fire tables, set into the hardscape so they read as part of the yard rather than furniture.

Lighting and audio

Every outdoor living project can carry landscape lighting and an outdoor audio system. The lighting page and the pricing guide show what each tier starts at.

05Questions

Asked and answered

Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio?

Usually. We assess the base and drainage first, then design the feature to match the existing pavers or stone.

Do you handle permits?

Where a permit is needed for a structure or gas line we walk you through it as part of the proposal.

Outdoor Living starts with a free walk of your property.
