Your backyard should be more than just grass. It’s an opportunity to create an outdoor living area for relaxing and entertaining.

As a licensed general contractor, we manage the entire project, ensuring a professional build that lasts.
Built to Last in the Bay Area
We bring a higher level of professionalism to outdoor projects in Burlingame. We don’t just build; we manage every critical detail, from securing the necessary city permits to ensuring the structure is properly tied into your home’s foundation. You have one reliable point of contact for the entire job, eliminating the stress of coordinating different workers or worrying about code compliance.
Our commitment to quality starts with what you don’t see. For every deck and fence, we dig proper concrete footings to ensure a stable foundation that won’t shift or sag over time. For patios, we lay and compact a solid aggregate base to prevent the sinking and cracking common with poorly prepared surfaces. This focus on a strong foundation means your investment is built to handle the Bay Area’s unique climate and provide years of trouble-free enjoyment.
A great outdoor space also requires a smart design. We work with you to plan a layout that truly fits your lifestyle, whether it’s for large family gatherings or a quiet private retreat. We’ll help you choose the right materials for your goals and budget—from the timeless look of Redwood to the proven durability and low maintenance of modern composite decking—to create a space that is both beautiful and functional for years to come.

Custom Deck Building & Installation
We build strong, beautiful decks that become the centerpiece of your backyard. Whether you need a simple platform for grilling or a multi-level space for entertaining, we handle the design, permits, and construction.
Decking Materials: Low-Maintenance & Natural Wood
We work with top-quality materials suited for the Bay Area climate. Composite Decking (like Trex) is our most popular option for its durability and low maintenance. For a classic look, we build with natural woods like Redwood for its beauty and resistance to decay, or tropical Hardwoods (like Ipe) for unmatched density and longevity.
Custom Railings & Integrated Features
The details matter. We complete your deck with safe, stylish railing systems, including wood, composite, or modern cable railings. We can also build in features like custom benches, planter boxes, and integrated low-voltage lighting.
Deck Repair & Resurfacing
If your deck’s foundation is solid but the surface is worn, we can help. We handle deck resurfacing by replacing old boards and railings, as well as structural repairs to fix issues like wood rot or loose posts.

Navigating Burlingame's Fence & Permit Rules
Building a fence in Burlingame involves more than just digging post holes; it requires navigating specific city zoning codes and permit requirements. As your local general contractor, we manage this entire process to ensure your new fence is not only well-built but also fully compliant, saving you from potential headaches and delays.
Height and Location Rules: Burlingame has clear rules for fence height that vary by location. Generally, fences in the front yard are limited to 3 feet, while fences along the side and rear property lines can be up to 6 feet tall. We design your fence to meet these specific zoning requirements from the start.
Property Lines & Neighbor Courtesy: A successful project requires respecting property boundaries. We work off official site plans or surveys to ensure the fence is built correctly on your property. We also believe in clear communication, and as a courtesy, we can help coordinate with your neighbors before the work begins.
When a Permit is Required: In Burlingame, a building permit is typically required for any fence exceeding 6 feet in height. Our team handles the entire permit process as part of our service—from submitting the plans to the building department to coordinating with city inspectors—ensuring your project is approved without issue.

Yes, in most cases. Decks over 30 inches above the ground require a building permit in Burlingame. We handle the entire permit application process for you, including submitting the required plans and details.
Composite decking is the clear winner for low maintenance. It doesn't require sanding, staining, or sealing like wood does. A simple cleaning with soap and water is all it needs. While the upfront cost is higher than redwood, the long-term savings in time and materials are significant.
It depends on your goals. Pavers offer more design options and are better on soil that might shift, as they won't crack like a large slab. Concrete is often more budget-friendly upfront and provides a solid, uniform surface. We can discuss the pros and cons for your specific yard.
For structural integrity, we set posts in concrete footings that are a minimum of 24 inches deep, well below the topsoil layer. This ensures your deck and fence remain stable and won't heave or lean over time.
