Service scope to use in your marketing +
Patio installation
Show paving materials, preparation and the area you can build.
Outdoor living
Explain how walls, lighting or cooking areas change the design scope.
Marketing services
Work on the next priority.
Use your plan to choose the work that needs attention. Bring it to the consultation if you want us to review it with you.
If patio-only projects have different minimums or crew needs, give them their own message and track signed patio work separately. A larger outdoor-living project needs more room to explain design and scope.
