Backyard Renovations by The J Hammer Inc in the Los Angeles area

The most satisfying project in residential construction

A complete backyard renovation starts with a tired lawn and a cracked patio and ends with an outdoor home. The J Hammer designs and builds the whole thing as one coordinated project — so the levels agree, the drainage works, and every element looks like it was planned together, because it was.

What a full renovation can include

  • Patios and paver fields — the floor of the outdoor rooms.
  • Shade structures — pergolas and solid covers with lighting and fans.
  • Artificial turf — a clean green panel framed in paver borders.
  • Walls, steps and fire features — seat walls, planters and gas fire pits.
  • Landscape, drainage and lighting — the planting, water plan and low-voltage lighting that finish it.

Sequence is everything

We design once, then build in the right order: grading and drainage first (with trenching for electrical and gas while the ground is open), then walls and footings, then hardscape surfaces, then turf and planting, then lighting. Doing it in this order is what keeps a renovation on schedule and stops a patio from being demolished later to make room for a cover.

One crew, one number

Because we are a full general contractor, demo, grading, structure, hardscape, turf, planting and lighting are all our scope — one point of contact, one written plan, one clean result. Bring us your wish list, ranked, and we will bring a plan and a number.

Backyard Renovations FAQs

How much does a full backyard renovation cost?
A backyard refresh runs roughly $25,000–$60,000, a full transformation $60,000–$150,000, and luxury outdoor living $150,000+. Exact pricing depends on scope and lot. See our pricing guide.
How long does a backyard renovation take?
Typically a few weeks of on-site work — roughly a week of demo, grading and trenching, a week or two of structure and hardscape, and a final week of turf, planting and lighting.
Can I build it in phases?
Yes — but we design the whole plan up front so each phase lands in its final place and nothing gets torn out later. Even phased, design once.
Do you handle everything, or do I hire separate trades?
Everything — demo, grading, structure, hardscape, turf, planting and lighting are all our scope, so it is one crew, one plan and one number.
