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.

We just had Bahler Brothers do work on our patio. They made the patio look brand new. Sam, Dave & Dan were so professional, have a strong work ethic and so polite and friendly. I wish we found them sooner. We plan on using them again for our front walkway. We highly recommend Bahler Brothers.
This team does amazing work, they’re at excellent communicating, and provide a high level of service, I highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with Bahler Brothers when they installed our new front walkway in Summer 2025. From our first visit to the showroom with George, everything was professional—he was well prepared, knew our house, explained options patiently, and helped us choose the perfect design and materials. Every detail was planned ahead, and the cost estimate was exact—we didn’t spend a penny over. George also checked in regularly during the project to ensure we were happy with the progress. The crew was extremely hardworking, putting in full days in 90+ degree heat and even working through rain. They were always respectful of our property, our family members, and our neighbors. The foreman, RD, was a true gentleman—knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely funny—and a pleasure to work with throughout the project. The finished walkway looks beautiful, solid, and expertly constructed, completely transforming the front of our house. If you want top-quality craftsmanship, a well-organized process, and an outstanding team, we highly recommend Bahler Brothers.
Great people, great company. Level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is what sets this company apart. If you’re thinking of doing a new patio I would highly recommend these guys.
