Expanding Your Home Beyond the Walls

In Southern California, the backyard is an extension of the house. EG Construction designs and builds premium outdoor living spaces that blur the line between indoors and out. Whether you want a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a custom pergola, or expansive hardscaping, we construct durable, weather-resistant environments meant for year-round entertaining.

Building outdoors requires specific expertise. Materials must withstand UV exposure, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. We use marine-grade cabinetry, natural stone, high-quality masonry, and heavy-duty timber framing to ensure your outdoor space lasts for decades without degrading.

We also handle the complex utility work required for high-end backyards. We run underground gas lines for fire pits and BBQ grills, dedicated electrical circuits for outdoor lighting and heaters, and plumbing for outdoor sinks and drainage systems.

The Foundation of Outdoor Living

The biggest mistake in outdoor construction is poor drainage and foundation prep. Before laying a single paver or pouring a concrete patio, we ensure the ground is properly graded away from your home. We install necessary drainage systems to prevent water pooling, and we compact the sub-base thoroughly so your patio will not crack, sink, or shift over time.

Key Outdoor Features

Outdoor Kitchens

We build masonry or steel-framed BBQ islands finished in stone or stucco, featuring built-in grills, refrigerators, sinks, and weatherproof storage.

Shade Structures

From classic rough-sawn timber pergolas to modern louvered aluminum patio covers, we build structural shade that protects you from the sun and rain.

Fire Features

We run dedicated underground gas lines to power custom-built masonry fire pits and grand outdoor fireplaces, creating a natural gathering spot for the evenings.

Indoor/Outdoor Flow

We can widen existing exterior walls and install massive multi-slide or bi-fold glass doors, creating a massive, uninterrupted opening between your living room and patio.

EG Construction Process
Our Construction Process

Clear Planning from Start to Finish

1
Consultation & Existing Review

We start by reviewing the yard, the way you want to use the space, and the drainage, utility, and structural details that shape the build.

2
Scope & Planning

We help define the remodel scope, including structural work, cabinetry, counters, plumbing, and electrical to reduce surprises.

3
Preparation & Demolition

Before demolition, we protect surrounding areas, set up dust control, and remove the existing kitchen carefully.

4
Rough Construction

This phase includes framing, structural changes, plumbing, electrical, and drywall prep for finishes.

5
Cabinetry, Counters & Finish Work

Cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, fixtures, lighting, and appliances are installed with attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, if you are running new electrical, plumbing, or gas lines, a permit is required. Most shade structures and pergolas also require structural permits if they are attached to the house or exceed a certain height and square footage.

We highly recommend Granite, Quartzite, or poured concrete. You should avoid Quartz outdoors, as the resins in Quartz countertops will yellow and degrade under direct UV sunlight.

Yes. We trench from your gas meter or main line, install properly sized underground poly gas piping, and connect it directly to your fire pit or BBQ grill so you never have to change a propane tank again.

A project involving hardscaping, a pergola, and an outdoor kitchen typically takes 4 to 8 weeks to construct, depending on the complexity of the masonry and utility trenching.
