About usA Las Vegas family business, 22 years in the backyard
Josh Skinner moved to Las Vegas in 2001. Twenty-two years ago he started building barbecue islands, fire pits and fireplaces on his own, because he found that our temperatures are made for backyard entertaining. He built the business up for years before Nicole joined it.
Nicole has lived in Las Vegas since about 2005. About seven years ago she decided teaching was no longer the right path for her, and the office needed help, so she came in and helped grow the business. Today she's our operations manager.
Josh is basically the general manager. He runs the project manager, the coordinators and the field crews, and he helps coordinate and oversee the whole operation.
Everyone who works here is family
We treat everybody who works here as family. Being family-run is an extension of our own family: everyone works closely together. We don't always see exactly eye to eye, but we stick up for each other and take care of each other, just like family.
It also means we do the work ourselves. We self-perform almost everything with our own crews. We use two subcontractors: an electrical subcontractor and a slab countertop fabricator. Nearly everything else, from the design on, is done by our own people.

Full outdoor rooms in Summerlin, Henderson and MacDonald Ranch
We're a full design-build company: we design your backyard, sell you the products and build it. The work we love most is the full outdoor room, a patio cover, media wall, outdoor kitchen and fire features designed together, and those projects typically run around $100,000. Our average project today is about $40,000.
Most of our work is in Summerlin, Henderson and the MacDonald Ranch area, and we build throughout the Las Vegas Valley. We don't build pools or do landscaping. We work alongside pool builders and landscapers, and we stay away from repairs and service work so we can focus on building new spaces.
Come meet us
There's no design fee. Tell us how you want to live outside, and we'll design it: a concept plan, then 3D renderings, before anything is built.
Financing is available through GreenSky and HFS, subject to credit approval.
