How it works

We offer a seamless design-build experience, transforming outdoor spaces with both visionary planning and expert craftsmanship.

From thoughtfully tailored designs to precision-driven construction, our integrated approach ensures that every detail is executed flawlessly—delivering a stunning, functional retreat that reflects your unique lifestyle.

OUR PROCESS

We know that transforming your backyard can feel overwhelming. That’s why we make the process intuitive and stress-free, using realistic 3D renderings and curated material selections to ensure your vision is perfectly realized—both on-screen and in real life.

PHASE 1: DESIGN & preconstruction

We begin with an on-site meeting to understand your vision, assess your property’s unique potential, and provide expert guidance while considering architecture, natural surroundings, and budget.

Using realistic 3D renderings, we bring your ideas to life, refining design elements to ensure the perfect balance of style, function, and personal taste.

Once the master plan is finalized, we handle city approvals if needed and structure the project to be completed in phases or as a whole.

We believe peace of mind should be part of the design. That’s why we prioritize transparency and proactive planning from the start—helping you make informed decisions that align with your vision, timeline, and investment goals.
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.

PHASE 2: Build & COnstruction Management

A dedicated project manager oversees every phase of construction, ensuring seamless execution, clear communication, and a flawless final result.
Our collaborative approach allows construction to move efficiently, ensuring that design decisions translate seamlessly into reality without costly surprises.

Your sanctuary is complete. By integrating design and build, we deliver a stunning, high-end outdoor space that enhances your home, lifestyle, and property value—built with precision and designed for effortless enjoyment.

IVY STUDIO IS The
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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
