Backyard Construction & Outdoor Living Services

Outdoor Kitchens, Fire Pits, Patios & Hardscape

A backyard should feel like an extension of your home — functional, durable, and designed with purpose.

At Pacheco Landscape & Pool Construction, we design and build complete outdoor living spaces throughout Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Moraga, Lafayette, Concord, Danville, Blackhawk, and Orinda. With over 20 years of construction experience, we specialize in high-quality hardscape and structural backyard features built to last.

Whether you’re upgrading your patio, adding an outdoor kitchen, or building retaining walls on a hillside property, we approach every project with structural integrity and attention to detail.

Outdoor Kitchens & BBQ Islands

An outdoor kitchen transforms your backyard into a functional entertaining space.

We build custom outdoor kitchens that include:

  • Built-in BBQ grills

  • Side burners

  • Refrigeration

  • Sinks & plumbing

  • Storage cabinetry

  • Bar seating

  • Concrete, stone, or stucco finishes

Every kitchen is framed and built to withstand outdoor conditions, moisture exposure, and heat.

We focus on structural durability — proper footings, reinforced framing, and clean utility integration.

Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces

Fire features add warmth, ambiance, and year-round usability.

Options include:

  • Gas fire pits

  • Wood-burning fire pits

  • Custom stone fire pits

  • Built-in seating walls

  • Outdoor fireplaces

We ensure proper gas line installation, ventilation clearance, and code compliance.

Patios & Pool Deck Construction

A patio is the foundation of your backyard living space.

We install:

  • Broom-finish concrete

  • Stamped concrete

  • Colored concrete

  • Paver systems

  • Natural stone

  • Travertine pool decking

Proper grading, compaction, and drainage are critical. We build patios that resist cracking and water pooling.

Walkways & Pathways

Functional walkways improve both safety and aesthetics.

We design and construct:

  • Concrete walkways

  • Paver pathways

  • Stone garden paths

  • Side-yard access paths

Each walkway is graded for proper drainage and long-term stability.

Retaining Walls & Structural Hardscape

Many properties in Moraga, Orinda, Danville, and Lafayette require retaining walls due to slope and elevation changes.

We build:

  • Concrete retaining walls

  • CMU block walls

  • Natural stone retaining walls

  • Engineered hillside walls

Proper drainage and structural reinforcement are critical. Retaining walls are not just decorative — they must be engineered to handle soil pressure and water flow.

Drainage & Backyard Infrastructure

One of the most overlooked parts of backyard construction is drainage.

We address:

  • Surface runoff

  • Downspout redirection

  • French drains

  • Channel drains

  • Slope correction

Good drainage protects your investment and prevents long-term damage.

Integrated Pool & Landscape Projects

Because we specialize in both pool construction and backyard construction, we can design complete outdoor environments including:

  • Pool & spa

  • Outdoor kitchen

  • Patio & decking

  • Retaining walls

  • Fire features

  • Artificial turf

  • Lighting

This ensures everything works together structurally and visually.

Why Structural Experience Matters

Backyard construction failures often happen because of:

  • Poor soil compaction

  • Improper base preparation

  • Inadequate drainage

  • Weak footings

  • Incorrect gas or plumbing installation

With over 20 years of hands-on construction experience, we build projects designed for long-term durability — not short-term appearance.
