Create the Backyard You've Been Planning

Lock In Outdoor Living Upgrades in Garden City and surrounding areas

Your backyard has potential that goes beyond a grill on the deck and a couple of chairs that blow over in the wind, and if you're in Garden City, you already know how much time you could be spending outside if the space was set up right. Cornerstone Improvements LLC builds outdoor kitchens, fire pits, seating areas, screened-in patios, and custom shade structures that turn your yard into a functional extension of your home. The crackle of a fire pit on a cool evening or the shade of a pergola on a sunny afternoon changes how you use your property.

Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and seating areas are designed to fit your layout and how you entertain. Screened-in patios and enclosure upgrades keep bugs out while letting you enjoy the breeze. Custom shade structures and pergolas provide relief from the sun without blocking your view. Lighting and electrical additions make the space usable after dark. This service enhances comfort, function, and property value all at once.

What's Included in This Service

The process starts with a site review where your yard's layout, existing structures, and utility access are evaluated. In Garden City, coastal weather and humidity are factors in material selection, so pressure-treated lumber, powder-coated steel, and weather-resistant fabrics are used where appropriate.

Cornerstone Improvements LLC handles excavation, framing, electrical rough-in, and finish work depending on the scope of your project. Outdoor kitchens include countertop installation, gas line connections, and built-in storage. Fire pits are built with heat-resistant stone or metal and positioned for safe clearance from structures and plants.

Screened enclosures are framed with aluminum or wood and fitted with durable mesh that resists tearing. Pergolas and shade structures are anchored securely and built to support climbing plants, lights, or retractable canopies. Electrical work includes weatherproof outlets, overhead lighting, and low-voltage accent lights for walkways and seating areas.

Key Benefits of This Service

Homeowners often want to know about material durability, project timelines, and whether permits are required for outdoor structures in residential areas.

Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen or pergola?
Most outdoor kitchens and permanent structures require permits, especially if electrical or gas lines are involved. We handle the permit process and schedule inspections as needed.
How long does a typical outdoor living project take?
Timelines vary based on scope. A fire pit or pergola may take two to four days, while a full outdoor kitchen or screened patio can take one to two weeks.
Can you add electrical outlets and lighting to an existing patio?
Yes. We can run new circuits from your main panel or add a subpanel to support outdoor outlets, overhead lights, and accent lighting. All wiring is installed in weatherproof conduit.
What materials hold up best in coastal weather?
Stainless steel, powder-coated aluminum, and treated wood are all good choices. Stone and concrete are durable for countertops and fire pit surrounds. We'll recommend materials based on your budget and maintenance preferences.
Can I use my outdoor kitchen year-round?
Yes. With proper cover or a screened enclosure, you can use your outdoor kitchen in most weather. Adding a roof or pergola with a retractable canopy extends usability even further.

Outdoor space that's functional, comfortable, and built to last makes your home more enjoyable and more valuable. Book your consultation now and start planning the backyard upgrade that fits your lifestyle.
