Key Benefits of This Service

We begin with a site walkthrough to assess your yard's layout, sun exposure, drainage, and existing structures. You'll discuss how you want to use the space, whether that's hosting large gatherings, quiet family dinners, or weekend entertaining. We create designs that integrate outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire features, and custom hardscapes like stone patios or paver walkways.

DuPaul Construction coordinates all phases of construction, from grading and base preparation to framing, masonry, electrical work, and finish details. We install gas lines for grills and fire pits, electrical circuits for lighting and outlets, and plumbing for outdoor sinks. Every element is built for long-term outdoor use with low-maintenance materials.

Final touches include lighting design, seating walls, pergola staining, and landscape integration. We ensure each zone flows naturally into the next, creating a backyard environment that's functional, comfortable, and ready to enjoy year after year.

Outdoor living projects involve multiple trades and moving parts. Homeowners often ask about timelines, budgets, and how to prioritize features. Here's what you should know before getting started.
