Design, Pricing, & Proposal
After your project developer visits your home, we will provide you with a proposal that includes an exact quote proposal for your project. On average, the proposal will be completed in about a week.
Your project developer will schedule an in-person meeting with you to go over your proposal and answer any questions. Once we have signed a contract, you and your project developer will arrange to view samples and make final selections for your project.
HOA Approvals & City Permits
Some areas require a permit or HOA approval for outdoor living projects. The only thing your project developer needs in order to get approval for you is a copy of your lot survey and HOA request form. We will provide all of the additional required information.
If you live in a municipality that requires a building permit, we will handle every submission, inspection, and approval required. Depending on the location, this process can take between four and six weeks.
Materials & Scheduling
Your start date depends on a few real things: how booked we are, the Texas weather, and any date you are building toward, like a graduation or a Fourth of July party. Tell us the date and we will tell you straight whether we can hit it.
Materials are ordered in a timely fashion so they will be available when we begin construction on your project. Some materials are readily available while others require a special order. We lock in your stone and material choices right after signing, so a long lead time never becomes the thing that pushes your finish date.
Our crews work on several projects at a time. Many times throughout your project, you will see one crew work, have another trade come in to do their part and then the first crew come back to finish up their part of the project. We try to keep production of your project continuous once we begin working, but there may be times when we have some lag time between trades.
Project Management & Completion
One person owns your project from day one. The Project Developer who walked your yard and wrote your plan is the same person who runs the build and answers your calls. Your Project Developer will communicate the construction schedule to you and is reachable by email or phone before the first crew shows up and every week after. If you ever have any questions or concerns about your project, they are the one to contact.
Upon completion of your project, your Project Developer will walk through the outdoor living space with you to ensure you are completely satisfied with the completed project. We take pride in our work and want you to be delighted with your new space.
Warranty and Protection
We stand behind what we build and want you to know we will come and make repairs if necessary for both material and workmanship. We provide you with a strong written one year warranty for both material and workmanship.
