What's included
A backyard remodel means combining several trades — concrete, turf, pavers, retaining walls, lighting, and structures like pergolas or outdoor kitchens — into one connected design instead of a patchwork of separate projects. One team handles the whole thing, so grading, drainage, and how each piece ties into the next gets planned before anything is built, not figured out as we go.
Grading and drainage come first in every design. Antelope Valley yards often sit on hardpan or compacted fill from the original build-out, which doesn't absorb water well — that's fine for concrete and turf, but it means the whole yard has to be graded with somewhere for water to actually go during a summer monsoon downpour, whether that's a simple slope to the side yard or a proper area drain tied into the storm system.
From there, the design mixes whatever combination of turf, pavers or concrete, retaining or seat walls, a pergola or shade structure, and an outdoor kitchen or fire feature fits the property and budget — sized to the lot, not a stock plan.
How it works
Step by step, here's what actually happens on site:
- 1Walk the property, talk through how you actually want to use the space (entertaining, kids, low-maintenance, all of it), and rough out budget and priorities.
- 2Put together a full design — layout, materials, and a real build sequence — sized to your property and budget.
- 3Build in the right order: grading and drainage first, then hardscape and structures, then turf and finish details.
- 4Walk the finished yard with you and cover care and maintenance for turf, concrete, and any water features before calling the job done.
Why Peralta Concrete
One point of contact for the whole project — you're not managing a concrete crew, a turf crew, and a fence company separately.
Drainage is designed in from the start, not patched in afterward when the first storm shows the yard doesn't shed water.

Backyard remodel design-build FAQ
How long does a full backyard remodel take?
It depends on scope — a turf-and-pavers refresh might take one to two weeks, while a full remodel with retaining walls and a pergola can run several weeks. We'll give you a real timeline once the design is set.
Can we do the remodel in phases?
Yes — a lot of clients start with grading, drainage, and hardscape, then add a pergola or outdoor kitchen in a later phase. We design the whole yard up front so later phases tie in cleanly instead of looking bolted on.
