Complete Backyard Transformations

Most backyards need more than one trade. We handle the demo, grading, base, hardscape, turf and finish work ourselves, so you are not coordinating four contractors and four schedules.

How We Build It

Complete Backyard Transformations in Tucson

Plan the whole space before choosing finishes

Start with how you want to use your backyard: dining, play, pets, entertaining or a quiet place to sit. A coordinated layout connects those uses while leaving room for furniture, gates and access to the house.

AYJ brings hardscape, turf and masonry into one project scope. Bring inspiration photos or an existing plan to your free on-site estimate so we can discuss layout, materials and priorities.

Drainage and access come first

Existing slopes, runoff, underground utilities and access for equipment affect what can be built and what it costs. These details deserve attention before choosing the final surface.

Tucson heat and seasonal storms make shade, surface temperature and drainage useful parts of the planning conversation. Material samples help you compare colors and textures in your own yard.

Build around your budget

Demolition, excavation, square footage, wall work and utility coordination can change the price of a backyard project. A written scope makes those differences easier to understand.

If you want to phase the work, tell us at the estimate. Planning future walls, kitchens and turf now can help avoid disturbing finished surfaces later.

Questions

Straight answers.

Still not sure? Call or text 520-909-7387.

Can I complete my backyard in stages?

Ask us to separate your priorities into phases. The layout and drainage should account for later additions, even when the installation happens over time.

What should I send before an estimate?

Send photos, your project ZIP code, a rough size and the features you want. Include any existing plans and access limitations you know about.

How long will the project take?

Timing depends on the scope, access, material availability and any required approvals. We will discuss a project-specific schedule rather than promise a standard completion time.

How It Works

Four steps, no surprises.

  1. Walk the Property

    We come out and look at the actual space. Goals, timing, materials, access, drainage, and a realistic budget range.

  2. Build the Scope

    Layout, measurements and material options confirmed in writing, so you know exactly what is included before anything starts.

  3. Complete the Work

    Prep, base, installation and finish work, with updates as we go and the site staged and cleaned at the end of each phase.

  4. Final Walkthrough

    We walk the finished job with you, handle anything left on the list, and show you how to care for the materials.
