Another beautiful custom project completed and another amazing review from a great customer.

This 16’ x 16’ cantilever patio cover features a special-order wood grain insulated roof, our new track lighting system, and a lattice privacy wall for the perfect finishing touch.

We truly appreciate the kind words and the opportunity to bring this backyard vision to life.

POST 4 – FINAL REVEAL

Project complete.

We finished installing this beautiful insulated patio cover featuring one ceiling fan, four can lights, and a clean modern design over the brand-new stamped concrete completed by The Yard Company.

Special thanks to Jeziel and his team at The Yard Company for the great work and partnership on this project.

This backyard was completely transformed into a comfortable outdoor living space the homeowners can enjoy day and night for years to come.

Next step is the customer completing the new lawn to tie the entire backyard together.

Another beautiful project completed by Nor Cal Shade.

POST 3 – POUR DAY

Big progress on this backyard transformation.

The Yard Company poured the brand-new concrete slab and completed all of the stamped concrete work for the project. Their team did an incredible job bringing the foundation of this outdoor space to life.

At the same time, we set the steel posts for the new insulated patio cover, and the vision is really starting to come together.

Strong foundation. Clean layout. Excited for the final stage of this project.

DEMOLITION & PREP

The transformation officially begins.

We partnered with the Yard Company for the demolition and site preparation portion of this project. Their team removed the existing concrete slab, cleared out the trees, dug the footings, and set all the forms for the new stamped concrete installation.

A great finished project always starts with proper preparation, and things are moving along perfectly on this backyard remodel.

Every great backyard transformation starts with a vision.

We met with the homeowner to go over design ideas, layout options, lighting, and the overall look they wanted for their backyard space. Together, we came up with a custom insulated patio cover design paired with a beautiful new stamped concrete layout that fit their home perfectly.

This was the starting point of an exciting backyard transformation project. Stay tuned for the process from start to finish.

This backyard in El Dorado Hills just got a major upgrade.

We installed a flat pan patio cover that instantly made the space feel more finished, more usable, and way more inviting—all without changing the footprint of the yard.

Simple design, clean shade, and that understated elegance that ties everything together.

Sometimes it’s not about building something big… it’s about making what you already have actually feel complete.

Summer’s almost here… is your backyard ready?

A clean patio cover is just the start. Add brick pedestals and suddenly the whole space feels finished, polished, and built to enjoy—not just look at.

It’s the difference between having a backyard… and actually using it.

Long evenings, better shade, and a setup that just feels right.

☀️ Solid shade
🏡 Clean, custom look
✨ Built around your space

Now’s a good time to start planning your upgrade.
