    Through detailed estimates, clear scopes of work, and thoughtful phasing strategies, we minimize surprises and keep your project on track. Our integrated design-build approach means fewer handoffs, less room for error, and greater control over costs—so you can feel confident every step of the way.

SmarteST Investment
for Your Outdoor
Living Project

At Ivy Studio, we get it—our fees may look like a premium compared to hiring a pool builder, mason, electrician, or landscaper directly. But here’s the truth: we don’t just design and build. We protect your vision and maximize your investment.

Here’s how we earn back our fee and ensure a premium outcome:

  • Nighttime garden scene with stone steps, lush green plants, and landscape lighting.

    WE GIVE A SH*T

    No one will care more about your project than we do. Precision, creativity, and zero compromises are our baseline. Our team sweats the details others miss—because your satisfaction isn’t just a goal, it’s our reputation.

  • A backyard with a swimming pool, fire pit, and outdoor seating area, surrounded by dense green trees under a clear sky.

    Design-Driven from Day One

    We don’t “wing it” with vague sketches. We craft a complete, cohesive vision—tailored to your lifestyle, property, and long-term goals. Every square foot earns its place.

  • A modern outdoor hot tub with three water jets flowing into the tub, surrounded by stonework and greenery in the background.

    We protect the design—and your investment

    Most trades are focused on speed, not cohesion. We make sure your vision doesn’t get lost in translation. Acting as true stewards of your budget, we hold every trade accountable, control costs, and prevent scope creep or surprise expenses.

  • Outdoor patio with a fire pit, wicker furniture with cushions, wooden bar stools, a kitchen island with a sink, a chandelier, and a swimming pool in a lush green backyard.

    Avoid costly mistakes

    Our preconstruction process uncovers what most contractors miss—before you break ground. We flag permit hurdles, code issues, and hidden costs early to avoid mid-project chaos.

  • A picturesque backyard scene with two white lounge chairs, a small side table, lush white and green flowering bushes, and a house with wooden siding, gray shutters, and a window box with pink flowers.

    Smart Budgeting = Smarter Building

    We reverse-engineer your design to fit your priorities and your investment range. You’ll know exactly where every dollar is going—down to the studs, stone, and spa jets.

  • Outdoor kitchen with a stone island, four wooden barstools, and a grill, on a paved patio with greenery and a house in the background.

    We manage the chaos, so you don’t have to

    Permits, schedules, crews, curveballs—we take it all on. You stay informed and in control, without having to manage a second full-time job. We handle the complexity so you can enjoy the journey and the destination.

    Turnkey Execution, Zero Guesswork

    No juggling architects, landscapers, and pool installers. We handle every detail from first sketch to final install—so there’s one team, one plan, and one point of accountability.

  • Bright kitchen with gray cabinets, open window showing outdoor patio and greenery, rustic wood ceiling, and a yellow armchair with a white rug.

    Results That Outlast Trends

    We don’t just build beautiful patios. We create spaces that elevate your home’s value, enrich your everyday life, and make every season feel like the good life.

At Ivy Studio, we believe in delivering the best overall value—measured not just in dollars, but in trust, execution, and lasting joy.

Because a project you truly love?

That’s priceless.
