Outdoor Living Remodel in San Diego – Derek’s Project
Modern landscaping, family-friendly design, and functional outdoor features—all brought to life the Classic way.
Project Spotlight: San Diego Outdoor Remodel for Derek’s Family
When Derek reached out to Classic Home Contractors, his backyard and front yard were filled with potential—but not purpose. He wanted a place where his family could relax, cook, play, and entertain. We helped bring that vision to life with a full hardscape and landscape transformation, combining smart design with comfort and functionality.
The Problem
Derek’s outdoor space was underutilized. The backyard lacked structure, the layout wasn’t family-friendly, and the front yard needed better curb appeal. There was no dedicated area to cook, sit, or host guests—and the play area for his kids didn’t exist yet.
The Solution
We designed a multi-functional outdoor environment that meets the needs of every family member. The transformation included:
A built-in BBQ and sink island for convenient outdoor cooking
A modern fire pit and bench seating for evening gatherings
A wood deck and spa area for relaxing
Artificial turf throughout the backyard and front yard for low maintenance and year-round greenery
A play structure area for the kids
Smooth concrete walkways and paver paths for structure and flow
The Finished Yard – Clean, Functional, and Family-Ready
After just a few weeks of detailed planning and quality construction, Derek’s outdoor space was fully transformed. The new landscape is clean, modern, and designed with functionality in mind—perfect for family life, hosting guests, or enjoying quiet evenings by the fire pit. Explore the completed project below and see how this thoughtful design turned an ordinary yard into a vibrant outdoor living area built to last.
