Featured project · 2025
The Pavilion Project
A full backyard transformation finished in October 2025. A timber pavilion over a custom paver patio, a round fire pit, raised seating walls, and accent step lighting throughout.
Photographed at dusk, when it really comes alive. This is the kind of work we love doing for Chicagoland families who want one backyard that does it all.
