Your second living space starts outside
Outdoor kitchens, terraces, pergolas, fire and water features, designed and built by a team with a lifetime of outdoor living experience.
Our founding partner, Dave Anderson, has spent his whole life creating extended environments for the home: outdoor spaces with different features, textures and ambiance where people can really enjoy their home and share it with friends and family. For more than 40 years he has designed and built outdoor living spaces in every kind of setting, from Hawaii and throughout Mexico to the mountains of Colorado and Oregon. Before finishes, he owned and managed a landscape company, a swimming pool company and a decorative concrete company, so we understand every layer of an outdoor space from the ground up.
Today we bring that experience to outdoor kitchens, terraces, pergolas, fire features, pool decks and water features in Lagos de Moreno, Los Altos de Jalisco and the Bajío. Here, where we live outside nearly year-round, your outdoor space should be a true second living area. We work in English and Spanish.
