What happens here

This step focuses on building the various permanent structures that enhance the outdoor living experience. This includes constructing the pergolas from wood or composite materials, which provide shaded seating and dining areas. Building custom outdoor kitchen cabinetry, installing countertops, and incorporating built-in grills or cooking appliances are also part of this phase. The stone fire pit is constructed using appropriate fire-rated materials and stone veneers. Retaining walls and decorative stone columns around the patio areas are also built to define spaces and add architectural interest.

Goal: Build all major permanent structures for shade, cooking, and ambiance.
