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.

Outdoor Living Challenges in Scottsdale (And How We Solve Them)

Building an outdoor living space in Scottsdale isn’t the same as other parts of the country. Between extreme heat, intense sun exposure, and unique property layouts, outdoor projects require careful planning and the right construction approach to hold up over time.

Extreme Heat & Sun Exposure

Scottsdale summers can make outdoor spaces unusable without proper shade and material selection. Direct sun exposure can also cause certain surfaces to heat up quickly.

Our Solution:
We design outdoor living areas with pergolas, patio covers, and shade structures that improve comfort while using heat-resistant pavers and materials that perform better in Arizona conditions.

Material Durability in Desert Conditions

Low-quality materials can crack, fade, or wear down quickly in Scottsdale’s climate, especially with constant UV exposure and temperature swings.

Our Solution:
We use high-quality pavers, concrete, and hardscaping materials specifically chosen for durability, ensuring your outdoor living space maintains its appearance and performance over time.

Poor Layout & Limited Functionality

Many backyards aren’t designed for real use, leading to wasted space or disconnected features that don’t flow together.

Our Solution:
We plan outdoor living projects as complete spaces—integrating patios, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and walkways into a layout that improves functionality and usability.

Managing Multiple Contractors

Trying to coordinate separate contractors for patios, pergolas, lighting, and outdoor kitchens often leads to delays, inconsistent work, and frustration.

Our Solution:
As a full outdoor living contractor, we handle everything under one team—keeping your project organized, efficient, and built with consistent workmanship from start to finish.

Outdoor Living Projects Across Scottsdale Neighborhoods

North Scottsdale

Larger properties often need structured layouts to create defined outdoor living areas.

We design multi-zone outdoor spaces with patios, pergolas, and entertainment areas.

Older outdoor spaces may need updates to improve functionality and modernize materials.

We upgrade patios, hardscaping, and outdoor features with durable, updated designs.

DC Ranch & Grayhawk

HOA guidelines and architectural consistency are key factors.

We plan outdoor living projects that align with HOA requirements while enhancing usability.

Arcadia & Nearby Areas

Outdoor spaces often blend indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

Outdoor Living Project Costs in Scottsdale

Outdoor living project costs in Scottsdale vary based on the size of your space, materials, and the features you include. Custom patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire pits, and hardscaping all play a role in pricing, especially when combined into a full outdoor living area. We walk you through your options during your design consultation so you understand exactly what to expect.

We also offer flexible financing options to help make your outdoor project more manageable. Financing allows you to complete your entire outdoor living space at once—rather than breaking it into phases—so everything is built to work together from day one.

Scottsdale Outdoor Living Contractor FAQs

What does an outdoor living contractor do?

An outdoor living contractor designs, manages, and builds outdoor spaces that include patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, and other features. Instead of hiring multiple companies, you work with one contractor who handles the entire project from start to finish.

How is an outdoor living contractor different from a landscape designer?

A landscape designer focuses on planning and layout, while an outdoor living contractor handles construction and installation. At Platinum Outdoors, we use a design-build approach so your outdoor living space is both planned and built by the same team.

How much does an outdoor living project cost in Scottsdale?

Costs vary depending on the size of the space, materials, and features included. Projects that combine patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and fire features will typically cost more than single-feature upgrades. We provide clear estimates and offer financing options to help make your project more manageable.

Do you offer financing for outdoor living projects?

Yes, we offer flexible financing options so you can complete your outdoor living project without having to delay or break it into phases. Financing allows you to build your full space at once so everything works together from the start.

What are the most popular outdoor living features in Scottsdale?

Some of the most popular features include custom patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, and shade structures. Many homeowners combine these into a complete outdoor living space designed for entertaining and everyday use.

How long does an outdoor living project take?

Timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the project, but most outdoor living projects take several weeks from start to completion. We provide a clear timeline during the planning phase so you know what to expect.

Do I need separate contractors for different parts of the project?

No. As a full outdoor living contractor, we handle everything under one team. This helps keep your project organized, avoids delays, and ensures consistent workmanship across all features.
