Outdoor Spaces Planned Around How You Live

An outdoor project works best when its individual components are planned together.

A patio affects the placement of an outdoor kitchen. A pergola or patio cover may affect lighting, cooking-appliance placement, shade, and circulation. Planting and irrigation should work with the hardscape, while grading and drainage need to be considered before finished surfaces are installed.

Depending on the project, Colima can help coordinate:

Outdoor cooking and entertaining
Patios, walkways, driveways, and gathering areas
Pergolas and covered structures
Fire features
Pool and spa surroundings
Pavers, concrete, and walls
Planting and drought-conscious landscapes
Irrigation and drainage considerations
Artificial grass
Landscape lighting
Other improvements included in the agreed scope

Projects may involve one primary service or several connected improvements.
