Outdoor living
From open backyard area to covered outdoor retreat
The backyard was built into a more complete outdoor living setup with a raised deck, stair access, poolside dining area, covered lounge, stone finish work, and outdoor TV wall. The finished space gives the home several connected places to sit, eat, and use the backyard.

Project scope
What changed
The sequence shows the original conditions, the work that changed, and the finished details that make the space feel complete.
Added finished stone base and column details below and around the elevated deck and patio areas.
Created a covered lounge area with an outdoor TV wall and finished stone surround.
Connected the deck, covered patio, poolside dining area, stairs, and backyard views into one outdoor living space.
Finished the project with multiple usable zones instead of one open patio or deck area.
Project challenge
What needed to change
The outdoor area needed clearer use zones and a more finished connection between the house, deck, pool, stairs, and covered seating space.
How S & B Construction and Remodeling handled it
How the finished space came together
The team tied the backyard together with a raised deck, covered patio, stone finish work, railings, stairs, and an outdoor TV/lounge area so the space feels planned instead of pieced together.
