"We just had SD premier outdoors complete our backyard (new pavers throughout) and HAD to review! They started on a Wednesday and weâ re literally done the following Friday! Complete demo of old hardscape, landscaping demo, and laying pavers to completionâ ¦ in just over a week! Insane, especially right now during COVID with so many friends and neighbors we know taking months and months for projects to complete. The team showed up everyday on time, and worked their butts off. It was so hot and humid too (poor guys!) and worked until 5-7pm every day. Such a great experience, would definitely recommend to anyone. Emily has a great idea, easy to work with and responsive, and her team is really a dream team! Thank you so much for the beautiful new backyard and for the minimal disruption in our lives!!"
"Brothers landscape did a fantastic job I definitely recommend. Great communication from start to finish, more than fair pricing, and the crew was superb. There isn’t any other landscape company needed they got it. Thanks again!!"
"I gave Victor Ocanas a general idea of the work I wanted to get done — Victor then worked with us on selection of materials and layout with the final product exceeding our expectations. All work was done well, with attention to detail and with high quality materials. Further, work was completed on-time and on-budget. I highly recommend Victor Ocanas and Grand Oaks Landscaping."
"I couldn't have been more happy to get my landscaping work done, and that too so beautifully - huge thanks to Install it direct! I wanted a very simple easy to maintain side yard for which time an budget was a deciding factor as much as were the options I had for making it look beautiful and functional. William worked with me to help pick the best options and get the design nailed down. Patrick and Jonathan took it from there and stayed in constant touch, worked patiently with me, and kept in touch till the work was done. They were always available to talk through any concerns or question I had. I got nice pavers, a retaining wall and a small patch of artificial turf which looks amazing. Work was done really fast and the crew was so hard working and I never saw them spend time on anything else while they were there. I would recommend INSTALL-IT-DIRECT to anyone who heartedly!!!"
"Evoscapes did an amazing job on our backyard in San Diego. From the custom pool design to the landscaping, everything was handled with great care and detail. The value they deliver is outstanding, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend their team for any outdoor living project!"

"Noe is very experienced with putting in my driveway and walking area. He is beyond professional and very helpful. His workmanship is perfect. He is very kind and has reasonable prices. He was our first interview and we wanted him, but we wanted to make sure so interviewed many other people; it all came back to Noe. If you want an honest reliable professional man to do concrete.....Look no further just hire Noe."
"Great in every way!! Started Dec 19 and worked like Santa's elves. They arrive at 7:30 and work til 5:30 and bring their lunch and drinks. They are organized, diligent and Greg is honest and provides great value ( he was half my first estimate to save my pool from going down the hill!) Mine was a specialized concrete project and the slabs had to be jacked up and 85 bags of concrete had to be put under the slabs to form a retaining wall. Then they built a deck and put together a large gazebo. Everything went so well I hired them to finish off my garage and they did THAT quickly and for a good price. Being GREEK descent, Greg knows how to make atone and concrete and rooms that will LAST. He also fixed some plumbing that another handyman did that didn't work. He is pleasant, amenable to changes . I give him a five on everything he does!! Carrie in UTC/UCSD area"
The average cost to build or install a gazebo is around $5,700, with prices typically ranging from $3,000 to $10,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the gazebo's size, shape, material, and design complexity. For example, square gazebos and those made from metal can be more expensive, while brick is a more affordable material. Adding custom features like built-in seating or lighting will also increase the price. You can potentially save money by purchasing a prefabricated kit or performing some of the labor yourself.
Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:
Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance.
Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight.
Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.
Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.
Log cabins are relatively difficult to maintain compared to a traditional house. That’s because log cabins require regular upkeep and care that can include refinishing and corncob blasting, a process similar to sandblasting that shoots ground-up corncob with compressed air.
Yes, many gazebos are permanent structures built onto the land. However, if you have a portable gazebo that isn’t secured to the ground, you’ll want to check the manufacturer’s instructions to understand when to put it away. Generally speaking, when it’s particularly windy or wet outside, you should take down your temporary gazebo.
For many people, a gazebo is worth it, but it’s a matter of personal preference. If you love spending time outside but your yard doesn’t offer much protection from the sun or rain, then adding a gazebo might be worthwhile. Or, if you enjoy hosting dinner parties and want a nice outdoor space to gather with your friends, a gazebo could be a good investment.
