Outdoor living design and build in Memphis, TN: one team, one plan

Most contractors build one piece at a time and leave it to you to make it all fit together. Baltz Design works differently. We look at your entire outdoor space, design a cohesive plan and build it from start to finish. One team, one point of contact and one finished space that actually makes sense.

Outdoor living projects often include a patio, a kitchen, a cover, a fire feature, lighting and sometimes a pool deck. Planned together they cost less, look better and work better than the same pieces built separately. We design and build outdoor living spaces for homeowners in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova and surrounding communities.

What affects outdoor living cost

Outdoor living projects vary widely, so we price each from a real plan.
  • Scope. A patio alone costs differently than a patio with kitchen, cover and fire feature.
  • Size. Larger spaces mean more concrete, masonry and structure.
  • Materials. Stone, brick, decorative concrete and finishes change the price.
  • Site conditions. Slope, drainage and access affect labor.
  • Phasing. Some customers build in phases. We can plan the whole space and build it in stages.

Reviews

★★★★★

“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

★★★★★

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”
