Frequently Asked Questions
We create badass backyards by handling every detail ourselves. That means no middlemen, no delays, and no compromises on quality. You get your dream backyard, built faster, and with zero stress.
backyard design-build Phoenix homeowner is usually looking for something different from a traditional landscaping company.
They want the design and construction connected.
Unique’s in-house design and engineering approach allows the pool, landscape and outdoor construction to be planned around the same overall vision.
Before construction begins, homeowners can work through important decisions involving:
Layout
Pool location and features
Material selections
Decking
Landscape
Shade
Entertainment areas
Utilities
Irrigation
Drainage
Lighting
Future additions
Hiring separate companies for the pool, landscaping, hardscape and outdoor living areas can work, but it puts more coordination on the homeowner.
A complete backyard renovation with one design-build team allows major decisions to be planned together before construction begins.
That can provide:
One cohesive design: The pool, decking, landscape and structures are planned to complement each other.
One point of coordination: You are not trying to manage several contractors and competing schedules yourself.
Better construction sequencing: Plumbing, electrical, irrigation, drainage and gas lines can be considered before finished surfaces are installed.
More consistent materials: Pavers, stone, tile, colors and finishes can be selected with the entire space in mind.
Better drainage planning: Grading and drainage can be considered alongside the pool, decking and landscaping.
Cleaner budgeting: The overall scope can be reviewed together instead of discovering major costs one project at a time.
More flexibility: If the complete wish list exceeds the initial budget, the project can be prioritized around the features that matter most.
Clearer responsibility: The homeowner has one project team responsible for understanding the full backyard plan.
There is no useful one-price answer for a complete backyard project.
A backyard with landscape, turf and new pavers is very different from a project that includes a new custom pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, pergola, full landscape and major hardscape.
The cost of a Phoenix backyard remodel is primarily affected by:
Existing conditions and demolition
Pool construction or pool remodeling
Size of the property
Amount and type of hardscape
Landscape scope
Irrigation and drainage requirements
Outdoor kitchens
Shade structures
Fire and water features
Gas and electrical work
Access to the property
Material selections
HOA and permitting requirements
The right starting point is to define what you want the backyard to do, establish priorities and build the design around a realistic project scope.
Unique has been designing and building outdoor projects throughout the Valley for more than two decades.
Major outdoor projects benefit from planning that considers both how the backyard looks and how it is built.
We are not limited to one part of the property. Our capabilities extend from custom pools and pool remodels to landscape construction and complete outdoor living.
Instead of trying to make several separate projects fit together later, the backyard can be planned around one complete vision.
Yes. Many full backyard remodels include an existing swimming pool.
Depending on its condition and your goals, the pool may receive a new interior finish, tile, coping, decking, equipment or additional features while the surrounding landscape and outdoor areas are redesigned.
This can be especially effective for a Scottsdale backyard remodel or older Phoenix property where the existing pool is still structurally useful but the overall backyard feels dated.
Yes. Unique works on new construction backyards throughout Phoenix, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Chandler, San Tan Valley and surrounding communities.
Starting with an unfinished yard allows the pool, landscape, irrigation, drainage, decking, shade and outdoor entertainment areas to be planned together from the beginning. This can create a more cohesive finished backyard and reduce the need to redo completed work later.
