This outdoor living remodel was designed for homeowners who wanted more than a deck — they were looking for a true extension of their living space that would allow for quiet mornings, casual gatherings, and time spent outdoors without leaving the comfort of home.
The design includes three distinct zones: a screened-in porch, an open-air deck with a dining area, and a lower-level lounge with a fire feature. Together, these spaces support everyday flexibility and seasonal use, whether entertaining a group or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors.
Low-maintenance composite decking, clean-lined railings, and screened panel systems were chosen to reduce upkeep while preserving natural views. Inside the porch, layered lighting, soft seating, and a ceiling fan provide year-round comfort and a seamless indoor-outdoor transition.
This project reflects a simple but important goal: to create a connected, usable outdoor space that supports the way the homeowners live, relax, and gather.

Set within a mature wooded setting in Elk River, this project focused on introducing structure and durability while maintaining a natural aesthetic.
We installed a custom retaining wall system to define grade transitions and create usable space near the deck. A curved patio area with integrated stone detailing anchors the backyard and provides a clean, low-maintenance surface for gathering.
Decorative rock beds were incorporated to reduce upkeep while complementing the wooded surroundings. The result is a structured, functional outdoor space that blends hardscape craftsmanship with the natural landscape.

White Vinyl Fence – Elegant, Durable, and Maintenance-Free
Enhance your property's curb appeal with our premium white vinyl fence, designed to combine timeless elegance with modern durability. Crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant PVC, this fence delivers long-lasting beauty and performance in any climate—without the hassle of constant upkeep.
The bright white finish provides a clean, classic look that complements any home or landscape, while its sturdy construction offers excellent privacy, security, and wind resistance. Unlike traditional wood fencing, vinyl won’t warp, crack, rot, or fade over time. It’s also impervious to insects and moisture, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications.
With smooth, splinter-free surfaces and no need for painting or staining, this fence is a low-maintenance solution that keeps its pristine appearance year after year. The panels interlock securely for a polished look and quick installation, and the reinforced rails add structural strength for added peace of mind.
Perfect for enclosing backyards, gardens, pools, or property lines, our white vinyl fence offers the ideal blend of style, function, and reliability.

The new front door and sidelight give ample light and privacy. The clean style suits the architecture. A built-in storage closet keeps clutter to a minimum. Integrated mirrors in the doors solve an issue of wall space.
