The crunch of gravel underfoot and the scent of cedar planks remind you this is a space built to last and meant to be lived in.

Why Choose Professional Outdoor Living Design in Ellettsville, IN?

We begin with a site visit to evaluate grading, sun exposure, and views you want to capture or screen. Then we sketch layout options—deck footprint, pergola beam placement, paver patterns—and discuss materials like composite decking, treated lumber, or natural stone that balance durability with aesthetics.

Construction starts with footings and framing, ensuring posts are plumb and beams are level even on sloped yards. Farris Builders and Renovators installs decking boards with hidden fasteners for a clean surface, builds pergola roofs with properly spaced rafters for dappled shade, and lays pavers or flagstone on compacted gravel bases that won't shift over time.

Finishing touches include low-voltage LED lighting along steps and under railings, built-in benches or planters, and staining or sealing wood surfaces to protect them from Ellettsville's freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity.
