Curious about the timeline for a luxury backyard renovation? We know how excited you must be to kick-start this project, so let’s take it step by step. Below, the experienced team from Brothers Grimm will break down each phase of your backyard remodel!
Brothers Grimm Backyard Renovation Timeline
At Brothers Grimm, we follow a structured timeline to ensure your luxury landscape renovation is completed with precision and efficiency. From the initial consultation and design phase to construction and final touches, every step is carefully planned to minimize delays and make your dreams come true. Each step of our approach prioritizes transparency, craftsmanship and a smooth workflow, so you can enjoy your backyard design without unnecessary setbacks.
1. Consultation Phase
The Consultation Phase is the first, and arguably the most crucial, step in your backyard design project. It’s where your ideas start to take form, and the groundwork for a successful project is established.
- Property Walkthrough: Our team visits on-site to see the unique characteristics of your property, discussing how each component can be enhanced or changed.
- Discuss Your Vision: Tell us your dreams, preferences and expected functionalities for your space.
- Identify Any Problems: We’ll pinpoint any existing concerns with your outdoor space, such as drainage issues, lack of privacy or underutilized spaces, and discuss potential solutions.
- Define Scope of Project: With your insight, we will outline the scope of the project, including key features you wish to incorporate (pools, outdoor kitchens, custom hardscapes, etc.).
- Discuss Budget: An honest conversation about budget expectations will guide the design process, ensuring that our suggested plans align with your financial considerations.
- Next Steps: After the consultation, we’ll discuss the next steps in the design process, providing clear timelines and expectations moving forward.
2. Design Phase
During the Design Phase, the Brothers Grimm team will draw up blueprints and a 3D rendering of what your new landscaping renovation will look like. This rendering will include every aspect of the project, including (but not limited to):
- Grading & Drainage Plans
- Pool & Spa Designs
- Outdoor Kitchen Designs
- Lighting Design
- Custom Designs (landscape master plans, fire pits, driveway designs, etc.)
3. Estimating – Pricing, Timeline, and More
Now that your backyard design meets all your needs and dreams, we can provide you with a comprehensive pricing breakdown of the entire project so you can have a clear understanding of your investment. You will also receive a timeline estimate in this step. At Brothers Grimm, we provide trustworthy estimates so we all have accurate expectations about your project.
Project Timeframes
Curious about how long your dream project will take? Here’s our current timeframe for common projects:
- Small outdoor spaces: 2-3 weeks
- Average pool with outdoor living space, pavilion, etc: 4-6 weeks
- Large projects that include a bathroom, plan approvals and inspections: 8-12 weeks
4. Permitting
Brothers Grimm will ensure all of the required building and zoning permits are secured. This process requires patience and careful attention to detail. Since most plans need approval from your city or township, this stage can take four weeks or longer. It involves various elements such as grading, drainage, pools, spas, fences, decks, retaining walls, new patios and pergolas. To avoid delays, it’s important to submit finalized plans early.
5. Construction Phase
Once all permits are secured and materials are ready, we break ground on your dream backyard renovation. This phase typically begins about 8 months following the intial consultation. The construction phase is where your vision starts coming to life, with excavation, grading and structural installations going first. Features like pools, patios, pergolas and outdoor kitchens take shape, while Brothers Grimm’s skilled craftsmen handle every little detail of the project. Depending on the complexity of the project, this phase can take several weeks to months, ensuring every detail is executed to perfection.
6. Final Touches
As construction wraps up, the final touches bring your luxury backyard design to life. Thoughtfully designed lighting enhances the ambiance, highlighting key details like pathways, water features and architectural elements. Lush landscaping adds the perfect balance of color and texture, seamlessly blending hardscapes with nature. Whether it’s installing elegant garden beds, accent lighting or custom furnishings, these finishing details ensure your outdoor space is both stunning and functional.
The Brothers Grimm Difference
At Brothers Grimm, we believe in doing things the right way, every time. Unlike other contractors who start more projects than they can handle, leaving homeowners with half-finished backyard remodels and constant delays, we focus on one job at a time. We don’t start until we’re fully ready, ensuring a smooth process from beginning to end. While waiting for your landscaping renovation to begin can be frustrating, it’s far better than dealing with the chaos of a rushed and poorly managed project.
The Brothers Grimm team is committed to honesty and transparency. If there’s a delay, we’ll tell you the truth – no excuses, no cover-ups. Our goal is to work alongside you, giving your dream backyard our full attention and integrity.
