Your backyard reflects your family and ultimately completes your home. Shouldn’t it be something that you are proud of? But, how long does it really take to design and build your ideal backyard? The short answer is, not as long as you think…
The length of your backyard transformation will depend on a variety of factors such as the size and intricacy of the project, grade changes, time of year, permitting etc. When estimating how long a project could take, we advise our clients that the actual design-build process can take as little as a few weeks or as long as an entire summer.
At MasterPLAN Outdoor Living, we know that you want to be a magnetic homeowner. In order to do that you need an awesome backyard. The problem is that you cannot envision what your awesome backyard will look like and have no idea what it should cost which makes you feel frustrated and lost. We believe you deserve to be proud of your property as a whole!
We get how overwhelming it is to visualize your perfect backyard. You are not alone! This is precisely why MasterPLAN has helped hundreds of homeowners -just like you- to design and build remarkable outdoor living spaces.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Call – Schedule a design meeting!
You will have a simple and open conversation with our team to review and discuss the goals of your space. Our initial call will focus on getting to know you and your family, offering inspiration for your design, and building a partnership that will transform your boring backyard into an outdoor living space that you are proud of.
2. Collaborate – Design the perfect plan and let MasterPLAN do all the heavy lifting to complete the build!
Once you are part of the MasterPLAN family, we help you uncover your backyard’s true potential by collecting measurements and curating your custom 3D design. You will be completely satisfied with your design before any shovels hit the ground.
3. Construction- Once you approve your design, construction will commence!
The best part is your MasterPLAN team will oversee the construction of your project and provide updates to you and your family every step of the way. Having one point of contact throughout your entire project will result in a tighter schedule and improve risk management.
4. Celebrate- Raise a toast to your transformed home and the new life that will come from it!
With these four easy steps, you will avoid wasting time, money, and space by not designing before you build, and instead, you will maximize your property, experience uncommon pride in ownership, and make your backyard a magnet to life’s most important moments!
