FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about adding outdoor living features to your Utah backyard? We’ve gathered the answers to the most common homeowner questions—from permits and timelines to costs and customization. Get the details you need to start planning your perfect desert retreat.
How much does an outdoor living project cost in Utah?
The cost varies depending on the features you choose, such as patios, kitchens, or entertainment walls. We provide custom quotes tailored to your backyard and budget.
How long does it take to build outdoor living features?
Most projects take a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the scope. A simple pergola may be completed quickly, while full kitchens or multiple upgrades take longer.
Will outdoor living features increase my home’s value?
Yes—outdoor kitchens, shaded areas, and entertainment spaces are highly desirable in southern Utah and can boost both resale value and curb appeal.
Can I add outdoor living features to an existing pool?
Absolutely. We specialize in designing features that integrate seamlessly with your current pool and backyard layout.
Do you offer financing for outdoor living projects?
Yes, we partner with trusted lenders so you can finance your outdoor living upgrades with flexible terms and no home equity required.
What are the most popular outdoor living upgrades in St. George?
Shade structures, fire features, outdoor kitchens, entertainment walls, and custom desert landscaping are among the top requests from homeowners.
Which materials work best for desert heat and poolside areas?
We recommend porcelain or travertine pavers (cooler underfoot), composite or powder-coated aluminum for pergolas, masonry/stucco for feature walls, and low-voltage LED lighting rated for high temps. We avoid softwoods, dark surfaces that overheat, and high-water plants—everything is chosen to handle Phoenix sun, dust, and temperature swings.
Do I need permits or HOA approval for outdoor living features?
Some features—gas lines, electrical runs, pergolas/ramadas, masonry walls, and built-in kitchens—often require permits and/or HOA approval. Pools R Us handles drawings, submissions, and inspections, and we’ll provide the site plan, materials list, and color swatches your HOA may request. This can add 1–4 weeks depending on jurisdiction.
