Backyard Remodeling in Orange, CA with Custom BBQ, Fireplace, Pavers, Trex Stairs & Landscaping
At Green Advisor Inc., we completed a full backyard remodeling project in Orange, CA at W Arbor Way, Orange, CA 92868. This custom outdoor renovation combined function, style, and long-term durability. The project included a new driveway from custom Angelus pavers, a custom Trex staircase, a new L-shape custom BBQ island with polished cement countertops, a custom outdoor fireplace built from scratch with a smooth stucco finish, a custom wood fence and gate, artificial turf, and custom planters.
From the first phase of demolition and site preparation to the final finishing touches, this Orange outdoor living project was designed to improve curb appeal, create a more usable layout, and give the homeowner a complete custom space for relaxing and entertaining.

Driveway Preparation and Angelus Paver Installation
The transformation started with a full removal of the old surface and careful grading of the driveway area. Proper excavation and base preparation are critical for a durable paver installation, so the ground was shaped, compacted, and prepared for the next phase.
After the base was set, our crew installed the new custom Angelus paver driveway. The final paver layout gives the property a clean and upscale appearance while also improving daily functionality. In addition, the color blend works beautifully with the home’s exterior and surrounding landscape.

Custom Trex Staircase and Front Entry Upgrade
To improve the front entry and connect the new hardscape with the home, we built a custom staircase and porch upgrade using Trex material. This feature added a modern and low-maintenance finish to the entrance while creating a more comfortable transition from the driveway and walkway to the front door.
The Trex staircase was designed to look clean and refined, and it also included integrated step lighting for a polished final result. Because of that, the front entry now feels more inviting during both the day and evening.

Custom Outdoor BBQ Island with Polished Cement Countertops
One of the main focal points of this project was the new custom L-shape BBQ island. We built this outdoor kitchen structure from the ground up to fit the homeowner’s layout, cooking needs, and overall design style. The installation included custom masonry work, appliance openings, and a clean stucco finish.
To complete the look, we added custom polished cement countertops. These countertops give the BBQ island a modern custom finish while providing a durable work surface for outdoor cooking and entertaining. As a result, the backyard now includes a practical and stylish outdoor kitchen area that fits the full outdoor living concept.

Custom Outdoor Fireplace Built from Scratch
Another standout feature in this backyard remodeling project was the custom outdoor fireplace. Our team built the fireplace from scratch, starting with the block structure and then moving into the finish work. Every part of the build was designed to fit the scale of the yard and coordinate with the rest of the outdoor living space.
The final fireplace was completed with a perfect smooth stucco finish, giving it a clean and timeless appearance. This feature adds warmth, character, and a natural focal point for the seating area. In turn, it helps define the entertaining zone and makes the backyard more enjoyable throughout the year.

Custom Wood Fence and Gate Installation
To add privacy and complete the perimeter design, we installed a new custom wood fence and gate based on the homeowner’s preferred style. The horizontal wood details gave the project a warm natural contrast against the stucco, pavers, and concrete finishes.
In addition, the custom gate design improved both access and curb appeal. This part of the project tied the front and backyard spaces together while reinforcing the custom-built character of the entire remodel.

Artificial Turf, Planters, and Landscape Finishing Touches
After the major hardscape and construction work was completed, we moved into the landscape phase. This included artificial turf installation, custom planters, decorative gravel, new planting areas, and finishing details that helped soften the space and balance the hardscape features.
The custom planters created a unique garden feel, while the turf added year-round green color with low maintenance. Together, these features brought the project to life and completed the custom outdoor living layout.
