One of the best experiences we have had with any renovation project. We did a complete outdoor renovation that included the front yard, driveway and backyard. The major renovation was the backyard where we added a pool, covered back porch area, BBQ area and fire pit. The workmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. Working with Jim was the BEST experience we have ever had. He has created an outdoor living space that makes us feel like we never have to go on vacation again because it is now right in our backyard!

What we build
Three crafts, one crew.
Everything is designed and built in house, from the first sketch to the last paver.
01
Pools & Spas
Full backyard pool builds with the stonework to match: coping, decking, and water features that read as one design. As one client put it, a pool, covered back porch, BBQ area and fire pit, all in a single renovation.
02
Outdoor Kitchens
Cooking and gathering spaces built for the way South Bay families actually live outside: grill islands, bars, and fire features set in real stone, wired and plumbed by craftsmen who do this every week.
03
Hardscaping
Patios, walkways, driveways, and retaining walls in brick, pavers, and flagstone. The structural work underneath is done the right way, which is why neighbors keep complimenting the finished surface.
Signature projects
Named on the gate.
Real residences across the South Bay, each one photographed after the crew left and the furniture went back.
How it goes
The Jim difference.
Four things clients keep writing about, in their own words.
1
An estimate that starts with you
started with "what do you want to do"
, never tried to pin us on a budget. Itemized and a la carte, so you pick and choose.
2
Walk the finished work
Jim personally drove us to 3 of his previous clients
to show the work, and every one raved about it.
3
A crew that shows up
There every day, right on time
. Every Friday the team cleaned the site and reset the furniture for the weekend.
4
No change-order surprises
Details changed mid-project, as they do. Jim never once hit us with a change order for more money.
Word of mouth
What the neighbors say.
Verbatim reviews from Angie's List, quoted exactly as written.
This was one of the best home remodeling experiences we have ever had. Jim took time to answer all of our questions when he came to do the estimate. He made many good suggestions. They were there every day to do the work, and the project was completed quickly. We are very happy with how the project turned out. We have had many compliments from our neighbors.
Most outstanding contractor I have ever worked with. Jim and his team were Ethical, Respectful, Honest, Flexible, Creative, and Considerate. I will use Outdoor Hardscapes for any additional work I do and would recommend them to anybody doing an outdoor remodel.
