Complete Backyard Transformation
Client Details
Client : Inke De Borger
Location: 1827 N Chestnut Ave • Arlington Heights, IL 60004
Project Overview
This project includes removing the existing fence in the designated area and installing a new 6-foot white semi-privacy vinyl fence with alternating pickets and a matching walkway gate. Work includes post installation, gate hardware, site adjustments as needed, cleanup, and coordination of any required fence permit fees.
This project transforms the backyard with a fully integrated outdoor living space that includes new concrete patios and walkways, a cedar pergola with gutters, drainage improvements, backyard regrading and sod installation, shed assembly, electrical upgrades, A/C unit relocation, and mulch installation. Work includes all necessary site preparation, materials, utility coordination, and finishing details to create a functional, durable, and cohesive outdoor environment.
To maximize the usability of the backyard, our team constructed new concrete patios and walkways that provide durable outdoor gathering areas and seamless access throughout the landscape. A custom cedar pergola was installed as the centerpiece of the outdoor living space, complete with an integrated gutter system to improve drainage and protect the structure from the elements.
In addition to the hardscape improvements, the property underwent significant grading and drainage work to ensure proper water management and long-term landscape health. The backyard was carefully regraded before installing fresh sod and decorative mulch, creating a lush, finished appearance while improving drainage and preventing future erosion issues.
The project also included several important utility and infrastructure upgrades. We assembled and positioned a new backyard shed, relocated the existing air conditioning unit to better accommodate the new layout, and completed electrical upgrades to support the enhanced outdoor living area. Every phase of the project—from utility coordination and site preparation to final cleanup and finishing details—was professionally managed to deliver a seamless construction experience and exceptional results.
The completed backyard now offers an inviting outdoor environment that blends functionality, durability, and modern design. With upgraded hardscaping, beautiful landscaping, improved drainage, premium fencing, and thoughtfully integrated outdoor features, the homeowners gained an outdoor space that is ideal for relaxing, entertaining guests, and enjoying throughout every season.
