Investment ranges

Real numbers, up front.

Most builders make you sit through a sales pitch before they'll talk price. We won't. Here's what our projects actually cost in the Phoenix West Valley — so you know before you call whether we're the right fit. Residential and commercial.

Enhancement
From $40K

Pergola, paver patio, outdoor kitchen, turf, lighting, or a focused upgrade to an area you already love. Most enhancement projects start around $40K.

  • Alumawood or wood pergolas
  • Paver patios & walkways
  • Synthetic turf installs
  • Outdoor kitchens & BBQ islands
Most chosen
Signature pool
$65K – $120K

A custom-designed pool with decking, equipment, and the essentials that make it feel finished.

  • Custom pool & spa
  • Travertine or paver decking
  • Variable-speed equipment
  • Salt or chlorine systems
Full transformation
$120K – $250K+

The entire outdoor environment, designed and built as one cohesive space — the project most of our residential and commercial clients choose.

  • Pool + spa + water features
  • Pergola & outdoor kitchen
  • Pavers, turf, lighting
  • Full landscape & irrigation

Most projects start around $40K. Above $250K we're absolutely in our element — some of our favorite transformations land in the $300K–$500K range.

Honest fit check

Who we build for.

We'd rather help you find the right builder than waste a Saturday of your time. Here's exactly who AE Outdoor Living is — and isn't — for.

You're our person if
  • You own a residential or commercial property in the Phoenix West Valley
  • You're ready to build in the next 0–12 months
  • You want it built once, correctly, and to last 15+ years
  • You value craftsmanship, communication, and warranty over the lowest bid
  • Your project budget is $5K+ for enhancements (or $65K+ for a custom pool)
We're probably not the fit if
  • You're collecting 6 bids to negotiate the cheapest possible price
  • You're 2+ years away from actually starting
  • You want to act as your own GC and just hire labor
  • You're hoping to skip permits or HOA approval
  • Your budget is under $5K total
Honesty first

We're not
for everyone.

Saying it out loud saves everyone time. If any of these describe your project, we're probably not the right fit — and we'll happily point you to someone who is.

  • Looking for the cheapest bid in town
  • Want to skip permits or cut corners on engineering
  • Need a project under $5K (great work — just not ours)
  • Hiring three separate companies and want us to coordinate them
  • Expect to start next week without design or planning
  • Won't sign a contract or want to pay in cash off-the-books
Full capabilities

One brand. One team.
Every element outside.

Most builders force you to hire three companies and pray they get along. AE Outdoor Living designs and coordinates the entire outdoor environment as one project for residential and commercial properties — so every line, joint, and stone speaks the same language.

Common questions

Everything you want to know.

Most of our projects start around $40,000 and go up from there — all the way to high-end, six-figure backyard resorts. Signature pool and outdoor living projects typically run $65,000–$120,000, full backyard transformations land between $120,000–$250,000+, and estate-level builds run $300,000–$500,000+. Every property is different — final pricing depends on yard size, access, engineering, materials, permits, utilities, drainage, and final scope.
