Altavera coordinates complete outdoor design-build projects under one scope - from grading and drainage to hardscape, irrigation, landscaping, and final walkthrough.

Most projects include some combination of patios and pavers, concrete, retaining walls, irrigation design and install, turf or sod, planting and beds, fencing, and outdoor kitchen features - sequenced intentionally so the yard functions and performs long-term.

We start with a structured consultation, not a quick “driveway quote.”

Outdoor projects often involve grading, drainage, base prep, irrigation planning, and trade sequencing. We confirm scope, site constraints, and priorities first - then we discuss realistic budget ranges.

If it’s a fit, we move into planning and proposal development with clear scope and next steps.

Altavera is an outdoor construction contractor - not a “mow-and-blow” landscaper.

We manage complete builds: grading, drainage, hardscape, irrigation, landscaping, fencing, and outdoor living features - all coordinated under one plan.

Sequencing is the difference. Drainage and base prep happen first. Irrigation is designed into the build, not added after. Trades are scheduled intentionally so work doesn’t get torn out and redone.

Because water movement determines whether the entire project holds up.

In the Treasure Valley, poor drainage is one of the most common reasons patios settle, pavers shift, and lawns stay soggy. Fixing it later usually means tearing up finished work.

We address drainage and base prep first so everything built on top performs long-term.

Irrigation is designed into the project - not treated like an add-on.

We plan irrigation after grading is established and before hardscape is installed. Sleeves are run under patios and walkways, zones are built around plant types and sun exposure, and spray direction is set up to protect the home’s foundation.

At closeout, we test the system and walk you through how to use it and adjust it seasonally.

Yes - we manage the full scope under one project plan and one point of contact.

Some specialized trades may be involved, but they are scheduled and coordinated by Altavera. You don’t manage subs, timelines, deliveries, or trade handoffs.

Yes. Many homeowners phase projects based on budget, timing, or HOA requirements.

The key is doing the “under-the-surface” work first - drainage, grading, base prep, and anything that needs to go under hardscape (like irrigation sleeves and utilities).

We’ll map out a clean phase plan so the finished result still looks intentional - not pieced together.

Cost depends on scope and site conditions. Grading needs, drainage complexity, material selections, structures, and total square footage all move the budget.

A coordinated build that includes hardscape, irrigation, and landscaping is a different category than a simple patio install. During the consultation, we’ll clarify priorities and give realistic ranges based on your property and the outcome you want.

Timeline depends on scope, weather, and permitting/HOA requirements.

Most projects include planning and selections first, then construction sequencing (grading/drainage, base prep, hardscape/concrete, irrigation, landscaping, and final finishes). Once scope is defined, we provide a clear timeline and keep you informed through each phase.

Don’t compare proposals on price alone. Compare what’s included, what’s excluded, and whether the work is sequenced correctly.

Look for clear detail on base prep, drainage approach, irrigation integration, material specs, and who is responsible for trade coordination. Vague bids often become expensive later.

When permits are required for the scope, Altavera can coordinate them as part of the project.

Requirements vary by city, neighborhood, and design. If HOA approval is needed, we help provide the documentation and plan details typically required for submission.

We’ll flag what applies early so your project stays compliant and avoids delays.

We serve Boise and the Treasure Valley, including Meridian, Eagle, Star, Kuna, Nampa, Caldwell, Middleton, Garden City, and Emmett.
