What started as a joke turned into something life-changing. When we first saw the property’s huge backyard, we laughed and said, “Oh, we’re going to build a house back here.” But that joke quickly became a real conversation about building an ADU and raising our families together.
A real conversation about building an ADU and raising our families together.
We’re sisters — twins — and we’ve always been incredibly close. Being able to live on the same lot, share a yard, and raise our kids together just feels natural to us. It’s something people always dream about, but we’re actually getting to do it.
You need to talk to Adam. They’ll take care of everything.
Both Amy and I are real estate agents, and someone in our office told us, You need to talk to Adam. They’ll take care of everything. They were right. When Adam came out, he walked us through what was possible and what the costs would look like. The thing that truly sold us was knowing he would do everything for us.
We didn’t really have to do anything other than talk to them.
We honestly don’t believe this would have happened without Backyard Estates. We didn’t really have to do anything other than talk to them. They handled the permitting, coordination, scheduling — all the hard parts that would have stopped us completely. It just never would have happened without them.
We’re honestly just truly blessed to have this opportunity.
Now, with every step of the project, our excitement grows. We’re honestly just truly blessed to have this opportunity.
It’s like a dream come true, really.
Having one shared space where our kids can grow up together, where we can support each other and make memories — it’s pretty incredible.
It’s like a dream come true, really.

ConstructionFrom Blueprint to Beautiful Living
Every Backyard Estates floor plan is thoughtfully engineered to feel open, functional, and intentional

Proven by Design
Our core floor plans are the result of years of real-world builds — engineered for efficiency, code compliance, and smooth approvals across Southern California.
Designed Around Your Property
Every lot has unique constraints and opportunities. We analyze access, setbacks, utilities, and natural light to unlock layouts that work better — not just on paper, but in real life.
Tailored to How You Live
When a property allows for it, we transform the standard footprint into something uniquely tailored to your lifestyle, whether it’s family, rental income, or long-term comfort.
Designed specifically for your property
With years of experience building ADUs across Southern California, we begin by carefully reviewing your property, local requirements, and long-term goals. From there, we outline realistic options so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
