WORK WITH SHANE
Before You Remodel Your Backyard, You Need a Design That Deserves to Be Built.
A private design consultation for homeowners planning a high-end luxury outdoor living renovation—including pools, hardscapes, pergolas, fire features, decks, and porches—who want clarity, confidence, and an elegant, buildable plan before committing to construction.
This is not a free consultation.
This is the foundation of an exceptional outdoor environment.

THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES
Most Backyard Remodels Go Wrong
Before Construction Ever Begins
Core Belief
An outdoor space is only as good as the plan behind it.
Not because of bad builders—but because
they start without:
- A comprehensive design vision
- Coordination between pools, hardscapes, structures, and landscape
- Thoughtful placement of pergolas, fire features, decks, and porches
- Spatial flow between outdoor living areas
- Structural and site feasibility
- Clear scope and accurate pricing
The result is often:
- Outdoor spaces that feel pieced together
- Features that compete instead of complement
- Cost overruns and mid-project changes
- Finished backyards that don’t feel cohesive or intentional
WHAT THIS CONSULTATION ACTUALLY IS
A Professional Design & Feasibility Engagement
This is not a sales call or a conceptual sketch.
During this engagement, I personally:
- Design a luxury outdoor living environment specific to your property
- Integrate pools, hardscapes, pergolas, fire features, decks, porches, and landscape
elements into one cohesive composition - Consider how each element relates to the others—not in isolation
- Study sightlines, symmetry, balance, and how the space is experienced
- Analyze elevations, grading, and site constraints
- Engineer structures and features correctly from the start
- Define materials, features, and layout
WHY I LEAD THE DESIGN PERSONALLY
Design Philosophy
For me, outdoor design isn’t about filling space. It’s about how the entire environment is experienced—from every angle, at every moment of the day.
When I design a backyard, I’m thinking about how it looks from inside the house, from the patio, from the pool or spa, from under a pergola, beside a fire feature, or standing on a deck or porch. I’m thinking about sightlines, symmetry, balance, and how water, hardscape, structures, and landscape work together as one elegant, cohesive composition. Every element—whether it’s a pool, patio, pergola, fire feature, deck, or porch—is placed with intent. Not to make things bigger or louder—but to make them feel right. Too often, outdoor spaces are designed feature by feature, without considering how the entire property will actually be lived in. The result may look impressive from one direction, but disconnected everywhere else. I lead the design personally because I care about the full environment—not just individual components. My goal is to create outdoor spaces that feel cohesive, considered, and elegant from every vantage point.

Your Next Steps After Design
What Happens After the Design Engagement
After the design engagement, clients typically move forward in one of two ways:
Proceed to Construction with Our Team
The design transitions seamlessly into construction using the finalized scope and pricing
Pause or Plan for the Future
The design stands on its own as a complete, professional roadmap.
There is no obligation to build.
But when clients do, the process is clear, efficient, and aligned
Private Design
Engagement Investment
Starting at $10,000
Final pricing depends on:
- Property complexity
- Scope of pools, hardscapes, structures, and outdoor living features
- Level of engineering required
