Drought‑Smart Design, Built for Summer
Folsom’s climate rewards shade, efficient irrigation, and materials that stay comfortable under heat. A properly sized paver patio anchors dining and lounge zones, while a pergola or patio cover delivers essential sun relief. Turf alternatives or compact lawn areas paired with drip‑irrigated beds minimize weekly care and reduce water use.
Circulation paths, steps, and seat walls organize movement and support furniture layouts without crowding. Neutral pavers, stone caps, and porcelain accents keep the aesthetic crisp and cohesive across newer homes and older properties. Drainage details—regrading, French drains, and surface inlets—are planned early to protect foundations and hardscapes during winter storms. Low‑glare lighting extends comfort into the evening without harsh hotspots.

Folsom Project Highlights
Explore builds where small builder pads became true living spaces with shade, better circulation, and curated planting. Compact yards rely on integrated seating, vertical interest, and storage‑savvy layouts to feel generous without clutter. Larger lots separate cooking, dining, lounging, and play with lighting cues, low walls, or subtle grade changes.
Many projects combine turf alternatives for clean, kid/pet‑friendly play with stone or porcelain borders for crisp edges and easy cleanup. Evening galleries emphasize warm lighting that makes the space inviting after sunset. Each build is documented with product selections and care guidance for long‑term ease.

Our Simple Design‑Build Process
Step 1 – Plan
Begin with an on‑site consult to define how you’ll use the space—cooking, dining, lounging, play, pets, storage—and any shade, privacy, or drainage needs. Measurements, sun/wind exposure, and grading inform the concept layout. Early guidance on pavers, pergolas, turf alternatives, outdoor kitchens, lighting, and planting palettes aligns aesthetics and budget. You receive a scoped range and visuals to prioritize features confidently.
Step 2 – Approve
Finalize a dimensioned plan, elevations/sections as needed, and a product/spec list. Your proposal outlines phases, deposits, milestones, and a target start window; procurement secures timelines and reduces supply risk. If any neighborhood guidelines apply, submittal‑ready materials are prepared to streamline approval. Revisions are completed prior to mobilization.
Step 3 – Build
The team executes prep, grading, utilities, and base work to manufacturer and code standards. Hardscapes, walls, and structures are installed with correct compaction, edge restraint, drainage, and anchoring. Planting, drip irrigation, and lighting complete the space for day‑night usability. A final walkthrough covers operation, maintenance, and warranty details.
