Who We Are

At Beyond Blue, we handcraft backyard sanctuaries that become your family’s legacy. Imagine grandchildren roasting marshmallows under a timber-framed pavilion where dappled light dances at dusk. Our up-front, tiered process: 3D renderings, material walk-throughs, and clear scopes, puts you in control of every limestone paver and steel beam. Together, we’ll carve the escape you’ve been dreaming of, built to last for generations.

At Beyond Blue, craftsmanship is our cornerstone. We choose each slab of native limestone and length of weathered steel for its character and durability, then marry them with time-tested techniques. Our crews take pride in every cut, weld, and finish; because quality isn’t an add-on, it’s our promise. We stand by our work long after the last lantern is hung, ensuring your outdoor retreat weathers seasons as gracefully as your family’s stories.

Our values

Built on trust.
Grounded in craft.

Design + build expertise for every scale of outdoor living: from pools to pergolas and everything between.

Beyond Blue brings clarity, craftsmanship, and collaboration to every project we take on. Whether it’s a simple pool addition, a louvered pergola for year-round comfort, or a complete outdoor transformation, our team approaches each space with the same dedication to design, precision, and partnership. Every detail matters because every project becomes part of how you live outdoors.

  • Rooted in landscaping. Hand-tilling beds and setting each limestone slab by eye, we craft landscapes that feel both natural and meticulously designed.
  • Committed to functional luxury. We blend weather-resistant furnishings with seamless storage and lighting to create luxury that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
  • Centered around water. Our pools—from infinite edges to sun-warmed tanning ledges—become luminous anchors of your outdoor sanctuary.
  • Dedicated to our customer. We listen, advise, and keep you involved at every weld and walk-through; your vision guides our craft.

When they feel valued and respected, it shows in every detail of their work.” When he’s not on a job site or meeting with clients, Dylan enjoys time outdoors with his wife, Sherry, and their daughters, Everleigh and Irelyn—whether that’s a weekend at the lake or trying out a new BBQ recipe.

Reviews

What our
clients say

Of all the contractors I have ever dealt with, Beyond Blue Outdoor Group has been the only one I would not hesitate to promote to my closest friends. Beyond Blue’s BEAUTIFUL rock hardscape around our pool has truly been the focal point of our back yard and we could not be more proud. Their crew was on time every day, kept a clean jobsite and was extremely easy to work with. My wife and I have had our fair share of bad contractor experiences, so it’s refreshing to know that there are still honest ones out there. Thank you.
Jeremy M. Blue Springs
This addition has completely transformed our patio—it truly feels like we’ve added another room to our home. If you’re on the fence about retractable screens, we highly recommend going for it. You won’t regret it!
Crystal R. Kansas City
Beyond blue installed a Suncoast pergola with electric retractable screens, luvered ceiling, and recirculating water curtain 'water fall'. It is an incredible addition to my pool area. Fast efficient and affordable. On top of that they have a pool maintenence service, James has my salt water pool perfectly balanced and looking better than it ever has. Highly recommend Beyond Blue if you're wanting a high quality backyard Oasis!!!
Todd R. Prairie Village
Thank you Dylan and Jason for making our pool experience so great! Thanks to Lalo, Armondo, Caesar and Jesus for all their hard work. We love it—should’ve done it years ago!

How it works

Every outdoor space
starts with a plan

01/ 05

  1. 01 — Stage

    Consultation and Lifestyle Conversation

    We begin by understanding how you spend time outdoors today and how you want to spend it tomorrow. Cooking, entertaining, family time, quiet evenings, year-round usability: each of these shapes the design from the start.

  2. 02 — Stage

    Site Evaluation and Master Plan

    Our team walks the property to evaluate slope, soil, drainage, sightlines, and access. We then develop a master plan that defines how each element of the outdoor space will relate to the others and to the home.

  3. 03 — Stage

    Design and 3D Visualization

    We sketch your outdoor environment, refine the design with you, and render it in scaled 3D. You will see how each zone flows into the next and how the finished space sits in the landscape before any commitment.

  4. 04 — Stage

    Material Selection and Engineering

    Once the design is approved, we finalize material selections, structural engineering, and equipment specifications. Every choice is documented in writing so that the entire project is fully defined before construction begins.

  5. 05 — Stage

    Construction, Integration, and Final Walkthrough

    Our in-house team builds every element of the project, coordinating trades and timelines to keep the work moving smoothly. We complete a final walkthrough at the end and provide an orientation on how to use and maintain each part of your new outdoor space.
