How We Build a Full Backyard From the Ground Up
A month on-site is what it actually takes to build a yard of this size start to finish. The flagstone floor had to go in before the pavilion was framed so the pavers would sit on a proper base instead of being dropped in afterward. The 80-foot wall follows the slope down to the pool because that's where the grade wants to go. Fighting the grade would have doubled the footing work.
Everything had to be sequenced so each stage supported the next. The fireplace, the pizza oven, the grill, the prep sink, the wall, and the flagstone all had to coordinate with the cedar pavilion the carpenters were building. One crew stepping on another's work adds weeks.
We kept everyone moving by planning the sequence before the first footing was poured.
