Our Process
Built Around You
The expertise you need to help create your dream Outdoor Space.
Design That Delivers
Every amazing outdoor space begins with a vision, and the right team to bring it to life. At Bahler Brothers, our design process is rooted in creativity, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of what makes an outdoor living space truly incredible.
Whether you’re dreaming of a patio, outdoor kitchen, or complete backyard transformation, our design process makes sure that every detail is thoughtfully planned and tailored to your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.
With decades of experience and a passion for the craft of outdoor living, we’re here to guide you from the first sketch to the final stone.
A Collaborative Approach to Outdoor Design
We don’t just build projects. We build relationships. Our process is centered around open communication and a collaborative mindset. We work closely with you to understand your lifestyle, your space, and your goals. Every idea is explored, every detail is considered, and every decision is made with you in mind.
It starts with a 10-to-15-minute conversation. During this call, a designer will discuss your project and learn about your vision for the space. We’ll also hear your wish list and share general budget expectations to help you decide how you’d like to move forward.
Next, you’ll visit our Design Center for an in-person meeting with your designer. This appointment is a deeper dive into your goals, priorities, and scope and cost of the project. Here we explore design styles, material preferences, and timeline.
Next, we meet with you at your property, where we evaluate the site, take detailed measurements, elevations, and photos.
Now the fun begins–your custom design is ready. During this meeting at our Design Center, we will finalize your design and contract, choose your product materials, and review the next steps.
After your design is finalized and the deposit is paid, we’ll schedule your project, order materials, and prep documents. As we get closer to your start date, a Production Manager will contact you for a site inspection and job review.
Once construction is complete, a final walkthrough is scheduled to ensure everything is as it should be. Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy your project.

I just had a job done from Bahler Brothers, Let me just say that Mike and the entire crew were amazing!! So happy with the results! The attention to detail was above and beyond and in a time where customer service isn't what it used to be..these guys were the best. I highly recommend their services!
I had them design and build a place for my swim spa. From start to finish, each phase of the project was amazing. Jen in design went to great detail to ensure I knew every detail. The team of guys that came out to build my space was amazing and they all took the time to explain each step of what was being built. I now have a beautiful outdoor space that I can enjoy and everyone that sees the work are blown away. Thank you Josh and team for all you did.
The team at Bahler Brothers did an absolutely amazing job on our water feature. They are true professionals in every sense of the word. They are extremely prompt, friendly and talented, from initial phone contact until completion, their #1 concern is a happy client .We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of landscaping, water features or hard scapes.
The service we received was outstanding--fast, professional, and effective. We needed oak tannin stains removed from our patio after a tree fell on our house. A crew was at our house within a day and was able to clean the pavers with less work than was originally quoted. Not only was the patio restored beautifully, but we also received excellent information about how to care for our patio to prevent problems in the future. The price was adjusted as well to reflect the fact that a simpler approach was sufficient to get the job done. We are happy with the entire experience and would recommend this company to anyone who needs restoration work on their patio.
