A Complete Outdoor Transformation
Built for Hosting
The Schwenk family wanted to turn their outdoor area into a space where they could cook, lounge, and entertain. They came in with a clear vision for how each zone should function, which helped the design phase move efficiently and collaboratively. As the plans developed, the project expanded into a full renovation that included an outdoor kitchen, a modern media wall, a new pergola, porcelain detailing along the patio, new turf inside the yard, and upgraded skimmer covers. The renovation also required removing the previously installed paver backyard to prepare for a complete pool remodel with a new baja shelf and fresh pebble finish
During construction, we caught an issue with the manufacturer’s cantilever pergola beams and refused to install them until proper replacements were provided. We also elected to redo the initial porcelain jointing at our own expense before the client ever needed to mention it. These choices reflected our commitment to delivering a space built with care, communication, and a higher level of craftsmanship. The homeowners appreciated the steady updates and follow-through, and the finished project earned recognition from the Southwest Hardscape Association for both design and execution.
