Outdoor Design Build LLC

We were incredibly impressed with David & his team. They worked so efficiently, communicated well, and delivered well above our expectations for our outdoor living space. David did a great job matching the architecture of our historic home while delivering modern desires. His crew worked in every temperature — even tons of snow —- everyday until the job was done. I couldn’t believe his team’s work ethic- very hard to find now a days! David responded quickly to every request and made himself present throughout the project daily. His team is great with all the details. This new space is my favorite part of our home. Highly recommend!

We hired Outdoor Design Build in June this past summer (2024) to completely remodel our backyard as we had a 20+ year old deck that was writing. David helped us design, build and complete what is now our backyard oasis that we love. David was attentive, timely, and responded to our needs as well as made great recommendations based on his years of experience. His crew was so awesome as well. I recommend if affordable for your backyard oasis project.

David and his crew did a fantastic job! The final product looked just like our design that was drawn up by Gayle. We love our new patio!

David and his team did a fantastic job! Every step of the way from pre-planning to the final day of installation was handled professionally and efficiently. David and his team did a great job communicating with us and making adjustments on the fly. We would highly recommend them for your outdoor design and build needs.

Outdoor Design Build completed our outdoor living space in the spring of 2021. It was instantly our favorite room in the house. David, Rick and the team were professional and diligent throughout the process, working hard to ensure we were completely satisfied with the project. They were there every day from start to finish, and a true pleasure to work with. Recently I reached out to David to see if he could send someone out to fix a few pavers on the edge of the patio that had settled over the past 3 years. I offered to pay for their time and materials. David insisted they stand behind their work and that there was no need. Rick came out and not only fixed the three or four pavers I was concerned with, but checked all the pavers for settling and adjusting anything he felt wasn't perfect. I can't recommend Outdoor Design Build enough. I'd choose them again and again without question.

Efficient, reliable, reasonable, and quality workmanship.

Dave and his crew are awesome. They started and finished on time and on budget. The entire crew are professional and easy to work with.

Outdoor Design Build did a fantastic job on our outdoor entertainment space. From the start of the project through the build David and his team were great partners. They understood our vision, and their attention to detail made it look like it was part of our original home. Their communication was consistent and reliable, the team was respectful, clean, hardworking and friendly. They worked through rain, sleet, heat and delivered the project on time. We would recommend Outdoor Design to anyone looking for any project!

Outdoor Design Build did an amazing job with our backyard addition. The detailed design process using industry experts ensured that we were getting everything we wanted out of our project. The workmanship was of the highest quality and David was always responsive when we had questions, changes, minor issues, etc. They have backed up there warranty and I would highly recommend them for any outdoor projects big or small.

My neighborhood has had water issues forever. Outdoor Design Build listened, offered fresh ideas, and helped create the overall vision for my outdoor space. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the process. My neighbors commented on how friendly the crew was, and now they stop to tell us how much they love it. We love it too, and pictures do not do it justice. I would use Outdoor Design Build for future projects and would highly recommend them to my family members and friends.

David and crew exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, communication, and quality of work - from start to finish. When I first contacted ODB, they referred me to Gayle, a landscape/hardscape architect, who helped me design the project. Gayle took into account my vision for using the space, budget, and considerations of the yard. And even recommended materials to use. After the plan was designed, David quickly quoted the project and we got started. The project went smoothly due to David and crew's constant and clear communication. And the workmanship of the crew was top notch and they were a pleasure to work with. About 6 months after the project was completed there was a small issue with some of the pavers. David and crew immediately responded and rectified the issue. Showing that the excellent customer service extended past the project end date. I wouldn't hesitate to use David and ODB again!

Excellent work. Outdoor Design build designed and built a large patio area for us a few years ago which we have loved. We hired them to custom build a fireplace this year and couldn't be happy with it. They were able to build the fireplace exactly to our needs, including the stone veneer to match a wall previously built. Excellent work, very responsive, great craftsmanship. We have hired them twice and would do so again.

David Underhill and his crew were great to work with from the start. We began by hiring Gayle Fraser to design our backyard project and ODB implemented that design. Bid was not the lowest I received out of four but was close. We went with ODB because of their reputation/reviews and the engagement we had with them as we reviewed our options. They didn’t disappoint. There were a few design items we adapted during construction which improved the end product but didn’t lead to cost surprises. David expertly managed the various subcontractors (his crew - Manuel was awesome, electric, plumbing for gas line, stone masons). The only thing I’d advise prospective clients is that ODB is in high demand and they will probably have to wait some months before the project begins because other clients are ahead of them when they sign the contract. For us, it was better to go with the best option for quality of work rather than who could get it done sooner.

We couldn’t be happier with our new covered patio with fireplace, grill, mini fridge and pizza oven. Outdoor heaters and fireplace allow us to use the space on cooler days.

Service after the sale! When anyone goes into a sizable backyard project, just know not all goes according to plan. There will be hiccups, delays, re-dos, etc. Just be in that mindset, no matter who you use. It's life and it happens! The end result is that I LOVE MY NEW BACKYARD SPACE (as do my neighbors :-) ) With that, I wish to speak about the service after the sale! That is one competitive advantage I give David and his Outdoor Design team! My backyard project was fairly sizable... Deck tear down, new covered/paved patio, a new gas line fed firepit with concrete/stone sitting. My dream backyard! I am into my third season of enjoying my backyard space. I mentioned this because some items needed to corrected after about a year, the contractors we long packed and gone. I contacted David and without question, he said " I will take care of it...), and did so. Making the issue go away and even made it better than it was before. Now fast forward another year! Another unforeseen problem arose. I reached out to David and told him what happened, and I would like to make sure I got the right size and part to replace, that if he would order the part for the firepit I would pay him for it and replace it myself (given it has been over two years). He said, "That should not have happened...I will order and replace it, and will have it installed at no cost." He promptly did so that we didn't miss any long-term enjoyment outside. THAT IS SERVICE no one will match! It is the small things that add up and over-shadow minor inconveniences that happened during the design/building of the project. I would recommend David and his team to anyone! He has your back long after the sale and completion of your project!

Everything went well. They did a great job and we are very pleased with the outcome.

The entire experience with Design Build was exceptional. We feel so fortunate to have selected them to complete our project. It turned out even better than expected and we enjoy it even more than anticipated. The only regret is that we didn't build it 5 years ago. David, his foreman Rick, the rest of his crews and subs were all very professional and responsive. They began the project when they said they would and were at our home every day working until it was completed. Even in freezing temperatures and snow! They were in good communication throughout the process making sure we were happy every step of the way. They've been doing this for a long time and their expertise shows, not just in the craftsmanship but in the guidance they provided to ensure we achieved our desired outcome. We've already referred them to our friends and neighbors and recommend them to anyone considering a new outdoor space.

David and his team were great to work with. They were helpful with any questions or requests we had, and they were flexible in changing little things if we asked as we went. Our patio and landscaping turned out just the way we wanted!

It went very well. A much bigger project than I imagined and a few little hiccups were addressed and quickly resolved. The crews are flexible and willing to make tweaks along the way, They welcome and encourage feedback as the job progresses. Dave has a vision and knows what works best. He provides excellent suggestions. The crews work like it is their own project with a focus on quality

This is the second outdoor project I have worked with Outdoor Design Build to create for me. Previously they built a custom deck off the back of my house. They are by far the best in their business. The quality of their work and of the materials they use is excellent. They are responsive and easy to work with. I will choose them every time and I highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed.

David's team designed and built an exceptionally nice outdoor living space, completely transforming our backyard. Their deep experience in both softscapes and hardscapes was evident through every step of the project. David was always making insightful recommendations about the design and materials as well as important guidance on maintenance. Perhaps most importantly, the team professionally handled our indecision around the schedule. We initially wanted to do the project in phases but then changed our mind as phase 1 wrapped up. We are very thankful that they squeezed us in before the winter and the ensuing pandemic lockdown. We've already spent countless hours enjoying the space. David graciously brought the team back in the spring to make some final adjustments. We highly recommend Outdoor Design Build.

We are very pleased with the work David and team performed. They were very easy to work with and we got exactly what we wanted. His team takes great pride in their work and the craftsmanship was top notch. We would definitely hire them again.

The whole project went really well and we are thrilled with the results. David and his crew were great to work with. They transformed our backyard into a beautiful space and did high quality work. David and team were genuinely invested in the result and in ensuring that we were happy with everything. We had a great experience all around.

Dave’s team did excellent job building us a beautiful patio in our tight backyard. We love it out there.

We engaged Outdoor Design Build to complete an outdoor renovation to our 100 year old home including a new 2 car architecturally correct garage, all new landscaping, all new hardscapes (multiple patios, stone steps, fire pit and seat wall), multiple retaining walls, stone work, driveways and significant regrading throughout the property. David was fantastic to work with throughout the design and estimating process. Given the size and scope of our project David was very reasonably priced. Once the project kicked off, his team was a pleasure to work with, everyone was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. All of his crew have been with David for many years and they take pride in their work, which was a key reason for selecting them. I am a very meticulous individual and enjoy getting into the details of projects, while some contractors find hands-on homeowners an annoyance, David and his crew embraced it and brought me into every decision so that we minimized issues and rework. David and his crew were open to new ideas, incorporated slight design tweaks on the fly, and worked with me to address items that we had mutually put off until we could "field verify". They also fixed issues promptly and worked through the final punch list without complaint. David and his crew did a great job communicating both on a daily basis and overall and were always easy to get hold of. In the end, I got exactly what I wanted! We couldn't be more thrilled with the final outcome of the project and we take every opportunity to show it off. I would highly recommend David Underhill and Outdoor Design Build for any sized outdoor project and would definitely hire him for future projects.
