COMPLETE BACKYARD DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

One Plan. One Team. One Finished Backyard.

A complete backyard project works best when every element is planned together. Earthworks coordinates the layout, grading, interlock, retaining walls, planting, outdoor living features and pool integration so the finished space feels cohesive from the start.

DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER

What a Complete Backyard Project Can Include

Every property is different, but many complete backyard projects combine several construction elements into one coordinated plan.

✓ Interlock patios, walkways & steps

✓ Retaining walls & grade changes

✓ Outdoor kitchens & entertaining areas

✓  Pavilions & pergolas

✓  Planting & finishing details

✓  Fiberglass pool integration

✓  Grading & drainage

✓  Lighting & landscape features

ONE TEAM. ONE PLAN.

Why Coordinating the Whole Backyard Matters

When different parts of a backyard are planned separately, it can create problems with grading, drainage, elevations, material transitions and how the finished space flows. A coordinated plan helps the major elements work together from the beginning.

✓ Grading and drainage planned as part of the whole project

✓ Consistent materials and transitions

✓ Better coordination between patios, walls, structures and pools

✓  Fewer design conflicts during construction

✓  A more cohesive finished backyard

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Planning a Complete Backyard Project?

Do I need to have the whole backyard designed at once?Not necessarily. Some homeowners come to us with a clear vision, while others are still figuring out how the different pieces should work together. The advantage of planning the backyard as one complete space is that grading, drainage, patios, walls, structures, planting and pool areas can all be considered together before construction begins.
Can you include a pool in the backyard plan?Yes. Earthworks can coordinate a fiberglass pool with the surrounding interlock, grading, retaining walls, landscaping and outdoor living areas so the pool feels like part of the overall backyard rather than a separate project.
Can Earthworks handle grading and drainage as part of the project?Yes. Grading and drainage are important parts of landscape construction and are considered during planning so patios, walls, steps, lawn areas and other features work properly with the property.
Do I need to know exactly what materials and features I want before contacting you?No. It helps to know your priorities and what you want to change, but you do not need to have every detail figured out. We can discuss layout, materials, features and how the different parts of the backyard can work together as the project is planned.
How long does a complete backyard transformation take?The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, site conditions, materials and the number of elements being built. A complete backyard involving excavation, interlock, retaining walls, structures or a pool will naturally take longer than a smaller landscape project. Once the scope is established, we can provide a clearer construction timeline.
How much should I budget for a complete backyard project?Costs vary considerably depending on the size of the property, materials, site conditions and the scope of work. A project combining several elements such as interlock, retaining walls, outdoor living and a pool will be a larger investment than a single-service project. During the consultation process, we’ll discuss your priorities and budget to determine the appropriate scope for your property.
