Manahan Project — San Diego Pool Deck Pavers (Point Loma)
Replaced a dated pool deck with 2,222 sq ft of new pavers, added bullnose steps and a turf accent area to improve flow and reduce upkeep • Outdoor living • Increase usable space • Low maintenance • Drainage and grading • Entertaining-ready patio
- San Diego, Point Loma (92107)
- ailing pool deck surfaces
- high-maintenance backyard materials
- outdated hardscape layout
- poor drainage around the pool
- unsafe and uneven circulation
“We’re really happy with how the pool deck and backyard turned out. The old hardscaping was dated, and the new pavers, steps, and turf completely changed the look and feel of the space. The layout around the pool works much better now, and everything feels clean, modern, and well thought out. The Install-It-Direct team was organized, communicative, and delivered exactly what was outlined in the plan.”
Sweeney Project — El Cajon Backyard Paver Patio, Planter Wall & Lawn (Fletcher Hills 92020)

We recently bought our home knowing we wanted to have the backyard redone. It was covered in dyed mulch which was a complete nightmare. When we started looking for vendors, we had several companies come out and got a variety of answers of what was possible or not, and also how long the process would take. They all had delayed response times, and odd requirements that were really off putting. On a whim we reached out to Install It Direct to get yet another option. Man we are glad we went with them. Steve was great and quickly turned around a rendering and captured our vision almost to a T after our first conversation. The shinning star of the entire project was Troy, from day one we knew he was understood our vision and had our best interest in mind with every decision we had to make. He checked in with us regularly, kept us abreast with everything happening and whenever an issue arose (which were all minor and expected) that we were presented with pros/cons for each solution. He made us feel like we were a priority and that he genuinely cared about the outcome. All in all, it was a great experience. We love our new yard and would highly recommend IID and Troy to anyone. They were able to make our dream backyard come to life.

Platt Project — San Diego Backyard Artificial Turf (Carmel Valley)
IID replaced the existing lawn with a large-format Desert Rye 65 turf system, concrete-set mow-strip edging, 24×24 stepping-stone paths, stabilized DG transitions, and targeted drainage/irrigation adjustments for a lower-effort backyard built for everyday use (Synthetic Turf, Drainage, Water Reduction, Low Maintenance).

The new backyard is easy to maintain, stays green all year without watering, and blends perfectly with the rest of our outdoor space. The crew did a great job and the result is exactly what we wanted.
