San Diego service

Outdoor Living Contractor in San Diego

Outdoor improvements should respond to how the property is used as well as access, grade, drainage, adjacent structures, utilities, and material transitions. All Pro Contractor starts by connecting those conditions to a defined construction goal.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for a patio or deck?

A simple patio at ground level often does not need one. Patio covers, retaining walls, raised decks and gas, electrical or plumbing work commonly do. The rules depend on the city and the property.

Pavers or poured concrete?

Concrete usually costs less up front. Pavers handle soil movement better and can be lifted and relaid if a section settles. The soil, the slope and the look you want decide it.

Can you build on a sloped yard?

Yes. A slope usually calls for a retaining wall, steps or a deck instead of a flat patio, and it makes drainage and footings a bigger part of the plan.

What should be planned before the surface goes in?

Lighting, outlets, gas for a grill or fire feature, water and irrigation sleeves. Placing those lines before the base is built costs far less than cutting into finished work later.
