Austin and his crew did a phenomenal job on our backyard. From day one he went over our design carefully, gave us a honest estimate, added excellent ideas and proceeded to start on the day he said he would. The crew was polite, knowledgeable, cleaned up their work space everyday and were masters at their
trade. Geo was the project lead, he was so attentive to detail. He laid out the pavers to perfection. Our Pergola swing turned out beautiful. Everything about our yard turned out spectacular. We are definitely going to use Austin and his talented crew for future projects this summer. Thank you Platinum Outdoors for a job well done!

Austin and his team at Platinum Outdoors were nothing short of perfection!
We moved into our new home over a month ago and had paint, flooring, bathroom reno, framing, you name it done to our home. Every single project we started quickly ran into serious issues and we were always provided crews that were messy and not qualified to be doing the work.
However Austin’s team lead by Leo were professional, organized, timely, respectful and most importantly true craftsman’s at their trade. For everything that has gone wrong for us during this move, Platinum Outdoors is the true bright spot and they earned a customer for life.

How Much Does a Backyard Renovation Cost in Phoenix?

The cost of a backyard renovation in Phoenix can vary based on your yard size, materials, and the level of customization. Most projects fall between $8,000 and $50,000+, with larger outdoor living spaces or luxury upgrades exceeding that range.

Several factors influence the total cost:

  • Demolition & Prep Work – Removing old concrete, gravel, or outdated landscaping
  • Hardscaping Materials – Pavers, travertine, patios, and retaining walls
  • Outdoor Features – Pergolas, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas
  • Artificial Turf & Landscaping – Turf, plants, irrigation, and drainage
  • Lighting & Electrical – Landscape lighting and power for outdoor features
  • Design Complexity – Custom layouts, grading, and elevation changes

Because Arizona backyards must handle intense heat, sun exposure, and water management, investing in the right materials and layout upfront can save money long-term.

Backyard Renovation Financing Options

A backyard renovation is an investment in your home—and many homeowners choose to finance their project to get everything done at once instead of phasing it over time.

We offer flexible backyard renovation financing options to help make your project more manageable. Financing can allow you to move forward with your full design plan, rather than compromising on features or delaying upgrades.

During your consultation, we’ll walk you through available financing options and help you find a plan that fits your budget and timeline.

You can also learn more about available options by visiting our financing page.

Arizona Landscaping Rebates & Incentives

Depending on your project, you may qualify for local Arizona landscaping rebate programs, especially when upgrading to water-efficient systems.

Some programs offer incentives for:

  • Removing grass and replacing it with low-water landscaping or artificial turf
  • Installing smart irrigation systems
  • Improving water efficiency with desert-adapted designs

These programs can help offset part of your backyard renovation cost while also reducing long-term water usage.

We stay up to date on available rebate opportunities and can help guide you through options that may apply to your project.

Backyard Renovation Project in Gilbert, AZ: Turf, Pavers & Irrigation Upgrade

A backyard renovation is more than just upgrading materials—it’s about transforming how your outdoor space looks, feels, and functions. One of our recent projects in Gilbert started with a front yard that lacked structure, usable space, and efficient irrigation.

The goal was to create a clean, low-maintenance layout that would hold up in Arizona’s climate while improving curb appeal and everyday functionality.

For this renovation, we completed a full transformation that included:

The result was a modern, cohesive outdoor space that requires minimal upkeep while still looking clean and finished year-round.
