Project timelines can vary depending on the scope and complexity of your outdoor project. Most patios and decks are completed within 1–4 weeks, while larger full backyard transformations can take 4–8+ weeks. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed project timeline, the permitting process and timelines, so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

We work on projects ranging from custom decks and patios to complete outdoor transformations. Investments typically start around $40K and scale to $250K+ depending on scope, materials, and complexity. From initial design through material selections to final installation, we manage every aspect of your project — and provide detailed proposals so you always know exactly what you’re getting and why. Your satisfaction is our highest priority.

Southside is a full-service outdoor design-build firm — not a lawn care company that installs patios or builds decks on the side. We bring an in-house design team, dedicated, experienced professionals, craftsmen, and licensed trade specialists to every project. We start every outdoor space with a professionally developed design plan tailored to your home, giving you a clear vision of what to expect before any work begins. Backed by years of experience, 100+ complete outdoor transformations, and a 4.9-star rating, we deliver a white-glove experience from consultation to final walkthrough — because your outdoor space deserves more than guesswork.

Getting started is simple. Book a free consultation directly on our website here, or give us a call at 703-936-2102, and a member of our team will reach out within one business day. From there, we’ll schedule a site visit, discuss your vision, and walk you through our design and build process — so you can move forward with total clarity and confidence.
