How big is your backyard, really?

Builders list lot square footage, not usable backyard square footage. After the house footprint, side setbacks and front yard, what you actually have to design is much smaller. Here is what we typically see in West Valley communities.

How to read these prices

  • Starting price means the package as listed, on a standard West Valley site, in 2026 material costs. Your specific yard may add or subtract — we'll show the math.
  • Substitutions are easy — swap travertine for pavers, scale turf up or down, change plant palette. Price moves with the line item, not by guess.
  • Difficult access, retaining walls, drainage, second-story shade, or HOA reviews are separate line items — always quoted, never absorbed silently.
  • Every package is buildable by AE under ROC #340966 / #347738 with full lien-release accounting and our written workmanship warranty.
