Outdoor rooms, built for PNW weather

A design-build firm in Tacoma. We draw the patio, deck or outdoor kitchen, build it with our own crew, and come back season after season to keep it right.

Tacoma, Washington.
Serving the South Sound.

Founded 2006.
Licensed & bonded.

How we work

We design and build outdoor rooms across the South Sound: a patio that drains where the rain actually falls, a pergola sized to the way light crosses your lot in July, plants chosen for clay soil and grey skies. One team, from the first conversation to the years of maintenance after.

How we work

See your yard before we touch a shovel

Most people who call us have been burned before, by a quick quote, a vague scope, or a crew that vanished. So we do it the other way round: the layout, the materials and a clear cost estimate are worked out at the kitchen table, and you see the whole project before you commit to any of it.

Read our approach
  • See it before the shovelYour conceptual design is a real plan with a real number attached: layout, materials, planting, lighting and a clear estimate, worked out before the first day of work rather than discovered halfway through it.
  • One crew, start to finishThe same people design your project, build it, and come back for it. No handoff to a crew you have never met the morning after the deposit clears.
  • We do not disappear at the endWalkthrough, punch list, follow-up, and then seasonal care if you want it. Most of our clients come back for a second or third project, which only works if the first one still looks right years later.

Why people call us back

We have worked out of the same Tacoma shop, in the same neighbourhood, since 2006. The people who draw your plan are the people who build it, and the people who come back for it.

That is also why most of our clients return for a second or third project. It only works if the first one still looks right years later.
