Pasadena Backyard Design & Build

Designed Around The Entire Property

Pasadena homes often have strong architecture, established landscaping, mature trees, unique lot conditions, and outdoor areas that need to feel connected to the character of the property.

Build Up Remodeling provides complete backyard remodeling through one coordinated design-build process.

We plan pools, hardscape, shade, outdoor kitchens, drainage, lighting, privacy, landscaping, circulation, and entertainment areas as one complete outdoor environment rather than isolated improvements.
