Outdoor Living Contractor in Roseville, CA

CJR brings design, planning, and construction together under one team.

Rather than having separate contractors independently plan your concrete, landscaping, drainage, outdoor kitchen, pavilion, and other improvements, we consider how these features need to work together from the beginning.

This allows us to coordinate elevations, underground utilities, materials, construction access, and the proper sequence of work.

You'll also work directly with owner Colton Ray, who is personally involved in evaluating the project and overseeing construction.

Our goal is to create a complete outdoor space that complements the home and functions well for the way your family wants to use it.

Absolutely. We work with homeowners who want to turn an unfinished backyard into a complete outdoor living space.

For newer communities in West Roseville, including Double S Ranch, Sierra Vista, and Winding Creek, as well as neighboring PlacerOne, planning the entire backyard before permanent improvements are installed offers an opportunity to coordinate everything from the beginning.

Depending on your project, this may include custom concrete, pools and spas, outdoor kitchens, pavilions, fire features, landscaping, irrigation, drainage, lighting, turf, and recreation areas.

We begin by understanding your vision, discussing your targeted investment, and evaluating the property's construction requirements.

Our design and pre-construction process helps establish a clear project direction, material selections, and detailed scope of work before construction begins.

Outdoor living construction involves much more than selecting features and deciding where to place them.

An outdoor kitchen may require gas, electrical, water, or drainage connections. A pavilion may involve foundations, engineering, and permitting. Concrete elevations influence drainage, while landscaping, irrigation, and lighting need to be coordinated around permanent improvements.

Our Design + Pre-Construction Services help homeowners develop the overall layout, review property conditions, select materials, discuss investment expectations, and establish the construction requirements before work begins.

Depending on the project, this may include 2D or 3D designs, hardscape plans, and a detailed construction proposal.

We believe it's better to work through these decisions during planning than to discover conflicts or make major changes once construction is underway.

Yes. Not every outdoor living project begins with an unfinished yard.

For established Roseville homes, we evaluate existing patios, pools, landscaping, drainage, and other improvements to determine what can remain and what may benefit from being redesigned or replaced.

A project might involve adding an outdoor kitchen or pavilion, replacing concrete, improving drainage, updating landscaping, or creating better connections between outdoor entertaining areas.

We consider the home's architecture and existing features so new improvements feel appropriate to the property.

Our goal is to improve the overall function and appearance of the backyard without recommending unnecessary replacement of features that can be incorporated into the new design.

Yes. Depending on the community, improvements such as pavilions, patio covers, outdoor kitchens, hardscape, landscaping, and other exterior features may require architectural review.

We're experienced in working with HOA requirements and helping homeowners navigate the design and submittal process.

Our team assists with preparing plans, gathering the necessary project information, coordinating applicable submittals, and addressing requested revisions when needed.

We also consider HOA requirements early in the design process so they can be incorporated into the proposed improvements before construction begins.

While final approval remains with the applicable HOA, our goal is to take as much of the guesswork out of the process as possible and make the experience simple and straightforward for our clients.

Yes. We understand that some homeowners have a long-term vision but prefer to complete improvements over time.

The important part is developing the overall plan before the first phase begins.

For example, you may want a concrete patio and landscaping now, with plans for an outdoor kitchen, pavilion, pool, or fire feature later.

If we know those features are part of your long-term goals, we can consider their potential utility connections, foundations, drainage, elevations, and construction access during the initial planning.

This may help reduce the need to remove finished concrete, disturb established landscaping, or make costly modifications later.

Whether your project is completed all at once or in phases, we want the property to feel like it was thoughtfully planned from the beginning.

Even with careful site evaluation, some conditions cannot be confirmed until excavation or ground preparation begins.

Construction for pavilions, foundations, drainage systems, utilities, and other improvements may reveal unsuitable soils, buried debris, unexpected utilities, or other concealed conditions.

If an unforeseen condition is discovered, Colton and our team will assess the situation, explain the recommended next steps, and communicate any potential changes to cost or schedule before proceeding with additional work.

We discuss how unforeseen conditions are handled during the planning and contracting process so homeowners understand what to expect.

Our focus is on practical solutions, proper construction, and keeping our clients informed throughout the project.

An outdoor kitchen or pavilion should be planned around more than its appearance.

Placement, utilities, shade, drainage, surrounding concrete, and how the space connects to the home can all influence the design and construction.

We also consider how people will move between the kitchen, seating areas, pool, and other outdoor features.

Planning these details together helps create a space that's comfortable, functional, and enjoyable for years to come.
