Complete Backyard Transformations in Arcadia
coordinated design and build across the scopes AE accepts
Complete backyard transformations are what we do best — pool, hardscape, landscape, shade, kitchen, lighting, and glass coordinated through one project manager. Contracts, warranties and responsibilities are scope-specific and are set out in the signed scope for each project.
What's different about complete backyard in Arcadia
Flood irrigation changes everything about base prep, drainage, and turf selection. We engineer paver assemblies to survive saturation cycles, design landscape around the existing canopy instead of clearing it, and never specify materials that fail wet.
HOA:Whether an Arcadia parcel is subject to private HOA/CC&R or ARC review varies parcel by parcel and by current governing documents; the owner confirms this directly with the association. Flood-irrigation district participation is confirmed for the property before design. AE assists only where that work is currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope, and no approval or timing is guaranteed.
Permits:Arcadia parcels can fall under City of Phoenix or Scottsdale jurisdiction. The customer confirms the actual jurisdiction and current requirements for the property with the applicable authority. AE performs only the work currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope; the customer confirms the current requirements for the property with the authority having jurisdiction and any HOA/ARC or insurer, and no permit, inspection, HOA, or code acceptance is guaranteed.

Complete Backyard in Arcadia — FAQ
How long does a complete backyard take?+
Duration is project-specific and depends on the scopes included, site conditions, material lead times, and the review, inspection and acceptance timing controlled by the authority having jurisdiction and any private HOA/ARC reviewer. Any stated schedule belongs in the signed scope.
Do I have to commit to everything at once?+
No — most complete projects phase logically. Pool and major hardscape first, then kitchen, lighting, and finish landscape. We plan the full vision and execute in phases that make construction sense.
Why one contractor for everything?+
Coordination. The reason most multi-contractor backyards read 'good but disjointed' is that no single party owns the design intent end-to-end. We do.
