Elevate Your Outdoor Living Space
Platinum Outdoors designs and builds custom outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire pits, patios, and hardscaping — so Gilbert homeowners finally get a backyard worth using.
We’re a family-owned Arizona team that handles everything from the first design sketch to the final walkthrough. No subcontractor handoffs. No vague timelines. Just a backyard built around how your family actually lives.
Most Gilbert backyards sit empty most of the year — too hot in summer without shade, too bare to actually entertain, never quite worth spending time in. That’s the problem we solve.
As the #1 landscape designer in Gilbert, Platinum Outdoors builds outdoor living spaces designed around your property, your family, and how you actually want to use the space. Whether you’re looking for a shaded patio and pavers for everyday use, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen for weekend entertaining, or a complete backyard transformation with fire pits, water features, and custom lighting — we design and build it as one cohesive project.
Every material we specify is chosen for Arizona’s climate. That means shade structures built for monsoon loads, hardscaping that won’t heave or fade, and surfaces that stay comfortable even in peak summer heat.
An outdoor kitchen changes how you use your backyard. Instead of running inside for every meal, drink, or snack, everything you need is already outside — and your guests stay where the action is.
We design and build custom outdoor kitchens from scratch, sized and configured for your actual outdoor space. That means no awkward layouts, no appliances that don’t fit the climate, and no kitchen that feels bolted on as an afterthought.
Because we handle design and construction as one project, your outdoor kitchen connects naturally to the rest of your backyard — whether that’s a pergola overhead, a fire pit nearby, or a paver patio throughout.
In Arizona, shade isn’t an aesthetic choice — it’s what determines whether you actually use your backyard or just look at it through the window. The right shade structure can drop the perceived temperature by 15–20 degrees and turn a space that’s unusable eight months a year into one you’re in almost daily.
We help homeowners choose and build the structure that fits how their outdoor space is oriented, used, and designed. A solid patio cover works best for maximum shade and weather protection. A pergola gives you filtered light and a defined outdoor room without fully enclosing the space. A pavilion or gazebo creates a freestanding destination in the yard, separate from the house.
Every structure is engineered for Arizona conditions — that means accounting for monsoon wind loads, UV exposure, and materials that won’t warp, fade, or degrade in extreme heat.
Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces create a natural focal point in an outdoor living space while helping homeowners use their backyard during cooler Arizona evenings.
We build custom fire features that fit seamlessly into the overall hardscaping and landscape design of the property. Whether you want a modern gas fire pit or a larger outdoor fireplace feature, we help design a setup that matches your outdoor living area.
Hardscaping plays a major role in both the appearance and functionality of an outdoor living project. Our team designs and installs pavers, retaining walls, walkways, driveways, and custom patio spaces built for long-term durability.
We help homeowners choose materials and layouts that fit their home style, traffic patterns, and maintenance preferences while improving the overall flow of the outdoor living area.
Many Gilbert properties already have a backyard layout in place but need remodeling to improve functionality, appearance, or usability. Our outdoor renovation services help homeowners modernize older outdoor spaces while creating a more cohesive outdoor living design.
We manage the entire remodeling process with a focus on communication, workmanship, and long-term value.
Most backyard remodels start the same way — a yard that made sense when the house was built but doesn’t anymore. The patio is too small, the hardscaping is cracked or dated, there’s no shade, and the layout was never designed around how your family actually uses the space.
We help Gilbert homeowners rework existing backyards into outdoor living areas that function the way they should. That might mean tearing out old concrete and replacing it with pavers, reconfiguring a patio layout to create distinct zones, or adding structures and features that were never part of the original build.
Because we’re a design-build team, we look at the full yard before touching anything — so the finished result feels like one cohesive outdoor space, not a series of additions tacked on over time.
The biggest mistake in backyard projects isn’t choosing the wrong materials or picking the wrong contractor — it’s starting construction before anyone has thought through the full picture. An outdoor kitchen gets built without accounting for shade. A pergola goes up that blocks the view. A fire pit ends up too close to the seating area to be comfortable. That’s what the design phase is for.
Before any work starts, we walk the property with you and work through the decisions that determine whether a finished backyard actually functions well: where shade falls at different times of day, how water moves across the yard, which areas get used and which don’t, and how the different features you want relate to each other spatially. The result is a design that treats your backyard as a single connected space — not a collection of separate projects installed at different times by people who never talked to each other.
Most homeowners find that the design conversation surfaces things they hadn’t considered — and changes what they thought they wanted in ways they’re glad happened before construction started.
