Step One

Initial Consultation

It all starts with a conversation at your property. We come to you, walk the space together, and talk through your vision, your lifestyle, and how you actually want to use your backyard — whether that's a quiet spa retreat, a full outdoor entertaining space, or somewhere in between.

✓ On-site property walkthrough with you
✓ Discuss goals, style inspiration & budget range
✓ Honest answers to every question, upfront
✓ 100% free, zero obligation

Step Two

Free Custom Design & Proposal

Next, our team builds a completely custom design around your property and your goals — never a template pulled off a shelf. You'll receive a detailed proposal alongside it, and it's fully modifiable: we'll revise the shape, features, materials, and layout together until it's exactly what you pictured.

✓ One-of-a-kind design built for your yard
✓ Transparent, itemized proposal pricing
✓ Unlimited revisions until it's exactly right
✓ Financing options presented alongside your quote

Step Three

Permits & HOA Approval

Once your design is approved, we take the paperwork off your plate. Riviera prepares and submits your city or county permits and handles your HOA architectural review submission, so you're not stuck navigating red tape or chasing approvals on your own.

✓ City & county permit submission and tracking
✓ HOA architectural review coordination
✓ Engineering & site plans prepared for approval
✓ Regular updates while approvals are in process

Step Four

Construction Begins

With approvals in hand, our crews break ground. You'll be in direct contact with Riviera's owners and project managers throughout construction — not a call center or a rotating cast of strangers — so any question or concern gets handled quickly and personally.

✓ Dedicated project manager on your build
✓ Direct line to ownership from day one
✓ Scheduled progress updates & site visits
✓ Clean, respectful job sites at every stage

Step Five

Your Backyard Transformation

This is where it all comes together. Excavation, structural steel and gunite, plumbing and electrical, decking, tile, water features, and outdoor living elements like patios and kitchens — every phase inspected and completed with the same premium materials and craftsmanship, no matter the size of the project.

Walkthrough & Training

Once construction wraps, we walk your new pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen with you in person — how to run the equipment, operate automation and lighting, balance chemicals, and get the most out of every feature — so you feel confident from the very first day, not figuring it out on your own.

✓ Hands-on equipment walkthrough
✓ Pool & spa controls / automation training
✓ Outdoor kitchen equipment orientation
✓ All manuals & warranty information provided
