Pool Decks & Backyard Renovations

One project manager for the entire backyard, not five separate contractors.

Backyard projects go wrong when a paver crew, a screen company, a landscaper, and an electrician each show up on their own schedule. We design and build the whole backyard as one coordinated project: deck, cover, kitchen, turf, lighting, and drainage.

Typical timeline

3–10 weeks depending on scope

Typical investment

Full backyard transformations commonly $35,000–$180,000

How we approach it

Master planning for your private oasis

A backyard renovation often fails because it is treated as four separate projects: a paver guy, a pool guy, a landscaper, and an electrician. When these trades don't talk, you end up with drainage problems, mismatched levels, and a project that takes twice as long as it should.

We act as the single point of contact for the entire transformation. We manage the sequence of work so that the underground plumbing happens before the pavers are laid, and the landscape lighting is integrated into the hardscape rather than being an afterthought.

Our goal is a cohesive design where the pool deck, the patio, the kitchen, and the turf all speak the same language. We focus on the transition points, such as the coping, the bullnose edges, and the lighting, that separate a basic remodel from a luxury renovation.

The challenge
A 1990s backyard had a sinking pool deck, overgrown plants, and a non-functional outdoor kitchen.
What we did
We designed a single master plan that included a new travertine deck, a custom pergola, and a modern turf-and-paver garden.
The result
By managing all trades under one contract, we finished the project two weeks ahead of the client's birthday deadline and saved them over $12,000 in redundant mobilization costs.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Standards we hold

  • We use laser levels to ensure perfect transitions between the home and the pool
  • All pool coping is set in a reinforced mortar bed for zero movement
  • Drainage capacity is calculated for a '10-year storm' event
  • We provide a single schedule that tracks all trades in real time
  • We use non-slip rated materials for all wet-area surfaces

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
Andre & Sofia P. · Coral Springs, FL · Full backyard renovation
