Outdoor living spaces and landscape design across Southern California, built by one crew
Patio covers, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and water features, planned together and built by the same Genesis team that lays the pavers underneath. One design, one crew, one schedule for the whole backyard. 15,000+ projects since 1993.

Real backyards across Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties, from patio covers to full outdoor rooms.
Turn a backyard into a place you actually live
An outdoor living space is more than a patio. It is shade over the seating, a kitchen where people gather, a fire to sit around after dark, and the sound of water in the background, all tied together on a paver floor that lasts. Because Genesis holds eight California contractor’s licenses, one team designs and builds every part of it on a single schedule, so the space looks designed rather than assembled from separate jobs. Every project below is planned and installed by the same Genesis crew, start to finish.
Why one team for the whole space beats stitching trades together
Most outdoor projects fall apart in the gaps between contractors: the paver crew blames the mason, the mason blames the electrician, and you referee. Genesis holds eight California contractor’s licenses, so the same team legally handles the pavers, the masonry, the concrete, the outdoor kitchen, the fire and water features, and the lighting. One designer draws the whole space, one crew builds it on one schedule, and one company stands behind all of it.

“Roger showed up for the estimate in the rain and gave us a quote that was very reasonable. He helped us choose the stone and color. We had the driveway and front walkway done too.”
“Fernando explained the entire process and the sales tactics that others like System Pavers use to upsell. If you want honest advice and good work, go with Genesis.”
“I had some sunken areas in the pavers. Genesis kindly sent their crew and fixed it. Happy with their service and ethics.”
“Daniel led us from design through execution, and the BBQ island he designed is money. All my friends love it.”
“Fernando and his crew did an outstanding job creating beautiful tier planters with veneer and white capstones. We received many compliments from our neighbors.”
