Design & Build Services

See your backyard before we build it. 3D photorealistic renderings, phased design plans, and a single team that designs AND constructs.

Design & Build Services

The biggest risk in outdoor construction is not knowing what you're going to get. Most contractors hand you a pencil sketch and a price, then start digging. We do it differently — every Blue Tide project starts with a photorealistic 3D rendering that shows exactly what your backyard will look like when it's done.

Our design process begins with your free 25-minute virtual design consultation via Google Meet. We review your photos, discuss your vision and budget, and create a 3D rendering showing your pool, patio, kitchen, pergola, fire pit, and screen enclosure in context. You'll see materials, colors, lighting, and landscaping — not just shapes. If we're a fit, we'll schedule an in-home visit to take measurements and finalize material selections.

Because we're a design-build firm, the team that designs your project is the team that builds it. No handoff to a separate construction crew who interprets the plans differently. No 'that's not what I expected' moment. What you see in the 3D rendering is what you get in your backyard.

Why Blue Tide

Built to Last

Every project is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty and 24 years of combined construction experience.

3D Photorealistic Renderings

See your finished backyard before we break ground. Adjust materials, colors, layout, and features in real time. No more guessing from a pencil sketch.

Phased Design Plans

Not ready to build everything at once? We create a phased plan that lets you build in stages — pool first, kitchen next year, pergola the year after. Each phase designed to work with the next.

Design-Build Team

The team that designs your project builds it. No communication gap between designer and builder. No 'that's not what I drew' moments.

Free Consultation

Your first 25-minute virtual consultation is complimentary. You receive a 3D rendering, phased design plan PDF, and free estimate — no pressure, no obligation.

Material Selection

During the in-home follow-up visit, we bring samples — paver colors, stone veneer options, pool finishes, siding colors. You choose materials in person, not from a catalog.

One Team, One Warranty

Design, construction, and warranty all from Blue Tide. No coordinating multiple designers, contractors, and warranty providers. One call does it all.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How much does the design consultation cost?+
It's free. Your first 25-minute virtual consultation via Google Meet is complimentary and includes a 3D rendering, phased design plan PDF, and free estimate. If we're a fit, we'll schedule an in-home visit at no cost. No pressure, no obligation.
What's included in the 3D rendering?+
A photorealistic 3D model of your entire backyard — pool, patio, outdoor kitchen, pergola, fire features, screen enclosure, lighting, and landscaping. You can rotate the view, see it at different times of day, and request changes before construction begins.
Can I build my backyard in phases?+
Yes. We design a phased plan that lets you build over multiple seasons. For example: Phase 1 — pool and patio. Phase 2 — outdoor kitchen. Phase 3 — pergola and fire pit. Each phase is designed to integrate seamlessly with the next.
Do I pay for the design if I don't build with you?+
The initial consultation and 3D rendering are free. If you want detailed construction drawings (blueprints, engineering specs) that you can take to another contractor, there may be a design fee — but this is discussed upfront, never a surprise.
Can you work with my existing landscape?+
Absolutely. We design around existing trees, gardens, and structures you want to keep. Our 3D rendering shows how new construction integrates with your current landscape.
What if I change my mind during construction?+
Changes happen — and we handle them gracefully. Because we're design-build, we can adjust on the fly without going through a separate designer. Change orders are documented and priced transparently before work proceeds.

They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.
