HOMEOWNER
After years of dreaming, we finally found the team that could bring our vision to life. We visited every open house Backyard Estates held, studying each home and taking pieces from every one to put into our own.
The quality was consistent—over and over again—which made our decision easy.
We knew Backyard Estates was the company for us.
As we’re getting older and don’t want to move again, this home gives us space for our daughter’s family and the chance to finally enjoy all the whistles we never had in our house. It truly feels like a new chapter.
Everyone just exuded integrity… they exuded confidence and quality.
From Adam, Tom, Dusty, and the entire team, everyone just exuded integrity… they exuded confidence and quality. We felt very, very safe in their hands, and never once questioned the process. Every Friday, we received a detailed update so we always knew exactly what had been done and what was coming next.
So excited and feel so blessed to have met Backyard Estates and to have them create this beautiful home for us.
What we’ve been dreaming about for years has come together so smoothly. Everything unfolded just as promised. We are so excited and feel so blessed to have met Backyard Estates and to have them create this beautiful home for us. This home is full of opportunity, and we’re thrilled for our future.

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.
Designed With Purpose, Finished With Care
Every finish and fixture is selected with intention
