Planning an outdoor project can seem overwhelming: measuring square footage, coming up with a design that works with your space, choosing materials, finding furnishings and so many other little details. While it seems complicated, this process doesn’t have to be. The Backyard works hard to help each customer create a unique project based on their location and style. We do the details and heavy lifting so you can enjoy your outdoor living space.

Keep reading to see how easy it is to get the backyard of your dreams!

Step One: Contact The Backyard
  • Give us a call at 334-524-3550 or contact us through the website.
  • You may not know exactly what you want yet, but we can meet and help come up with a design and estimate for your project. Owner/designer Bryan Waits will schedule a time to come to your location and take a look at the space and hear your ideas.

 Step Two: Tell us what you want to build

You don’t’ need to know exactly what that is at this point – we can start with a rough idea. Bryan has more than 20-years-experience in the masonry business and can build to an existing plan or customize a design for you. And because each project is built from the ground up, you can customize the design to fit your style and budget.  
 
We have a wide variety of rock, stone and bricks on hand at our Auburn and Montgomery locations and can special order materials, if needed. So start tearing out magazine pages and creating new Pinterest boards: you can check out some of our work there too!   
 Step Three: Say yes!

Once you give us the go-ahead, your idea will go from dream to reality. Your project goes on the schedule and we’ll be in touch to make sure all the details are covered before we arrive to build. The Backyard crew works with one customer at a time - once we start your project, the work will go fast as we give your installation our undivided attention. 

When installation is complete, you will be able to enjoy your new space immediately: the crew’s last task is to remove any construction debris and wipe down the stone.​ The Backyard can also help you find the right accessories to complete the look of your outdoor space. Check out our the tabs above for more information on gas grills, Big Green Eggs, outdoor lighting and a wide variety of outdoor accessories and furnishings.
