Trueskil- Design + Build are experts in creating functional outdoor living spaces. We start with a free consultation to take in every detail you can provide about the ideas YOU have for your project. We are happy to make recommendations; However, we find that taking in everything our clients can provide us with FIRST is of extreme importance. We enjoy looking at any internet boards, photos, or styles that you prefer. We design our projects with the foundation of homeowner desires and functionality. 

Outdoor Living Space

These projects transform the majority of your outdoor living space around the existing residence. This is where a 3D and scaled rendering is a necessity. Most of our projects encompass hardscape (pavers & concrete), custom outdoor kitchens, fire pits, patio covers, water features, retaining/ decorative walls, artificial grass/ putting green, and custom landscape/ irrigation.

Design

Seeing is believing! Our designs are a 3D scaled rendering of your project to come. We include your existing house within the rendering so that a proper scale can be seen. Nearly all finish choices from texture to color are included in the design. Our design is not a one time try! We take any necessary time to make unlimited changes for our clients. Our purpose for the design portion is to have you know precisely how the finished product will look.

Hardscape

Hardscape will make the biggest overall impact on the general layout and feel of your living space. We offer paver installations, stamped and colored concrete, and brick options. Each project has a unique style and hardscape is imperative for the desired end result. 

Custom Outdoor Kitchen

As avid cooks and entertainers ourselves, custom outdoor kitchens prove to be one of the most useful builds we do. Choose from options such as a built in BBQ, smoker, sink, refrigerator, and chilled beer kegs. The right outdoor kitchen truly creates a gathering place and space to make your entertainment into an event! 

Fire Pit

A fire pit is another excellent way to gather family and friends for some evening conversation. We offer a variety of different styles and finish materials to ensure you have a fire pit that is not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing at all times. From volcanic rock to fire glass, we are confident your fire pit will enhance you living space.

Patio Covers

A beautiful patio cover does not only add to the visual appeal, but truly creates a resort style feel to specific areas. Commonly installed above outdoor kitchens or just outside the residence, these areas are fully customizable to include ceiling fans, lighting, mounted TV’s, and heaters. A great place to have overtop of a custom kitchen, daybed, or seating area for outdoor gatherings. 

Retaining/ Decorative Walls

Not all walls are created equal. Propper engineering and permits are usually required to ensure you perimeters are built to last. We provide the expertise and knowledge to build beautiful bordering walls that serve to level specific areas, create additional seating, retain hillsides, and segregate planters. With a variety of different finish textures from stone to stucco, Trueskil can design and build retaining walls that maximize functionality as well as beauty. 

Artificial Grass

Green all year long! Trueskil provides the highest quality products at the most competitive prices. We are experts in artificial lawn installations. Some added benefits include low maintenance, no more tracking in dirt or mud, aesthetics, and usability of space. We complete various installations from our commercial sports fields to residential backyards. Need to sharpen up your golf game? We are avid golfers! We will design and build a putting green that not only looks great, but rolls true! Realistic breaks and strategic cup placement make or break the finished product. 

Custom Landscaping

Nothing finishes off a project better than a beautiful landscape. We specialize in low maintenance/ doubt tolerant landscapes. We have relationships with dozens of nurseries in the greater San Diego area to be confident we are supplying only the highest quality botanicals. From Xeriscape to tropical, we can design beautiful areas that make your home feel like a resort.
