Complete Backyard Transformations in Cave Creek
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 Cave Creek
Well-water properties require different irrigation engineering and corrosion considerations. Equestrian-adjacent lots need fence and grading coordination. We plan for both.
HOA:Whether a Cave Creek parcel is subject to private HOA/CC&R or ARC review varies by property and current governing documents. The owner confirms this directly with the association; town or county review does not replace private approval. 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:Town of Cave Creek Planning handles municipal permitting, and adjoining unincorporated Maricopa County parcels use county permitting. The customer confirms the actual jurisdiction and current requirements for the property. 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 Cave Creek — 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.
