The Backyard Remodel That Pays You Back

Most full backyard remodels in Scottsdale and the East Valley run $60,000 to $120,000 for a standard lot. High-end custom estates and acreage properties in Paradise Valley or North Scottsdale typically start at $120,000 and go above that depending on scope. The biggest variables are square footage, materials (travertine vs pavers), and how many elements you combine: turf, hardscape, outdoor kitchen, fire feature, and shade structures.

We do not quote from a generic price sheet. Chris walks your property first, then provides a guaranteed written line-item quote based on your lot measurements and grading.

Most full remodels complete in 3 to 6 weeks once materials are on site. Design and HOA approvals typically add 2 to 4 weeks before ground break. Simpler projects like turf or paver patios move faster. Larger builds with outdoor kitchens and shade structures take longer.

You receive a firm construction schedule during your consultation based on the specific scope of your project.

Yes — when engineered for Arizona sun. We install commercial-grade synthetic turf rated for desert climates: UV-stabilized fibers, maximum drainage backing, and cooling infill that lowers surface temperatures. Cheap turf gets hot and mats down within a season. Quality synthetic turf installed over proper crushed aggregate lasts 15 to 20+ years.

For pets: we install specialized antimicrobial infill and high-flow perforated drainage specifically designed for dog runs and pet sanitation.

In the Phoenix and East Valley market, yes. Professional outdoor living additions create substantial equity. Landscaping improvements return 15 to 20% of home value at resale on average, according to the National Association of Realtors. On a $700,000 home, that equals $105,000 to $140,000 in equity.

Quality construction matters. Budget turf or poorly graded pavers create maintenance headaches for future buyers. An engineered install from a licensed contractor serving Arizona since 1989 functions as a long-term asset.

Our dedicated crew builds your project, personally supervised by Chris Flores on site. Subcontracting creates accountability gaps where sales reps disappear once construction begins.

Owner Chris Flores walks your property before design, manages construction on site daily, and conducts the final walkthrough with you. That is our standard operating procedure since 1989.

Several East Valley municipalities offer cash rebate programs for removing grass and converting to water-efficient desert landscaping, synthetic turf, and smart drip systems.

For example, the City of Tempe offers up to $2,000 for residential grass conversion plus additional tree and desert plant rebates. During your consultation, we review your address against current municipal water conservation programs to maximize your incentives.

A dedicated drip irrigation system eliminates runoff and evaporative water waste. Standard spray sprinklers lose up to 40% of their water to midday evaporation. A zoned, pressure-compensating drip system delivers water directly to root balls, cutting consumption by up to 50%.

Replacing turf grass with artificial lawn completely eliminates the largest water consumer on your property.

Chris visits your property, measures your square footage, evaluates soil and drainage grading, and discusses your outdoor living vision. You get direct professional guidance on materials, budget requirements, and return on investment.
