Outdoor Renovations and Upgrades by Beyond Blue Group

Most backyards have more potential than their current setup is showing. The pool may simply need a new finish to feel new again. The patio may need a redesign to fit the way the family actually uses the space. Sometimes a single addition, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, or an enclosure, changes everything about how a backyard gets used. The right renovation can deliver the feel of a brand-new outdoor environment without rebuilding from scratch.

Beyond Blue brings the same design-build approach to renovations that we bring to new construction. From focused upgrades to full backyard redesigns, our in-house team handles design, engineering, and installation so every renovation integrates cleanly with what stays and dramatically improves what changes. The result is a space that looks intentional, performs reliably, and gets used far more often than it did before.

What Outdoor Renovations and Upgrades Actually Involve

Outdoor renovations are projects that take an existing backyard, pool, or patio and transform it into a space that fits the way you live now. That can mean resurfacing a pool, replacing aging hardscape, adding a pergola or kitchen, upgrading equipment, or rethinking the whole property as one cohesive design. The goal is always the same: a backyard that feels new, performs reliably, and gets used far more often than it did before.

At Beyond Blue, we approach renovations with the same design-build process we use for new construction. Our in-house team handles design, engineering, and installation, so the upgraded space integrates cleanly with what stays and dramatically improves what changes. Every renovation is tailored to your property, your priorities, and how you want to use the space going forward.

What’s included

What's Included in an Outdoor Renovation

  1. 01 Pool Resurfacing and Remodels We resurface and remodel existing pools with new finishes, updated tile, modern coping, and reshaped features. A well-executed pool remodel can make a 20-year-old pool look and feel brand new, often at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
  2. 02 Hardscape, Decking, and Patio Updates Aging concrete, cracked pavers, and outdated decking all benefit from thoughtful renovation. We replace, refresh, or expand hardscape with modern materials selected to integrate with the rest of the property and to perform for decades.
  3. 03 Pergolas, Pavilions, and Shade Additions Adding a pergola, pavilion, or motorized louvered roof to an existing space transforms how the backyard gets used. Even on properties where everything else stays the same, a well-placed shade structure can change the entire feel of the space.
  4. 04 Equipment and Automation Upgrades Variable-speed pumps, modern heaters, energy-efficient filters, and smart automation systems are some of the highest-value renovation upgrades available. They reduce operating costs, run more quietly, and add convenience that older systems can’t match.
  5. 05 Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Features Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and fireplaces transform a backyard from a place you visit into a place you live. We add these features as part of broader renovations or as standalone upgrades, integrated into the existing design rather than dropped onto it.
  6. 06 Full Backyard Redesigns Some renovations are about touching up what already works. Others are about rethinking the entire space. We handle both, and we are happy to walk a property with you to figure out which approach delivers the result you actually want.

How it works

What Our Outdoor Renovation Process Looks Like

01/ 05

Start your project
  1. 01 — Stage

    Property Walkthrough and Goals Discussion

    We begin by walking the property with you to understand what is working, what is not, and how you want the space to feel when the project is finished. This conversation shapes every decision that follows.

  2. 02 — Stage

    Site Evaluation and Renovation Plan

    Our team evaluates the existing structures, hardscape, equipment, and landscape to identify what should stay, what should be updated, and what should be replaced. We then develop a renovation plan that defines the scope and the relationships between every element.

  3. 03 — Stage

    Design and 3D Visualization

    We render the renovated space in scaled 3D so you can see how the new and existing elements will work together before any work begins. This step often clarifies decisions that would otherwise feel speculative.

  4. 04 — Stage

    Engineering, Permits, and Material Selection

    Once the design is approved, we finalize structural engineering where needed, secure permits, and confirm material selections. Every choice is documented in writing before construction begins.

  5. 05 — Stage

    Construction, Integration, and Final Walkthrough

    Our in-house team handles every phase of the renovation, 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 any new features.

Why Beyond Blue

Why Homeowners Choose Beyond Blue for Outdoor Renovations

A renovation is more difficult than a new build in some ways. The work has to integrate with what stays, respect existing structures, and deliver an upgrade that feels intentional rather than patched together. Beyond Blue brings the design-build experience that makes that integration look effortless.

Design and Build Under One Roof

The team that designs your renovation is the same team that builds it. We are accountable from the first concept to the final walkthrough, with no fragmented subcontractor handoffs and no surprises at the end of the project.

Builder’s Eye for What Should Stay

We approach every renovation by figuring out what is already working before we touch anything. Sometimes the right answer is a full redesign. Often, it is a focused set of upgrades that change everything without rebuilding from scratch.

Seamless Integration with Existing Spaces

The hardest part of any renovation is making the new feel like it always belonged. Materials, lines, and finishes all need to relate to what stays. Our designers and crews handle that integration as a deliberate part of the process, not a hopeful outcome.

A Decade-Plus of Midwest Experience

Since 2012, we have been building and renovating outdoor environments across Kansas City, Omaha, the Lake of the Ozarks, and Columbia. We understand how local conditions affect both new construction and aging materials.

Clear, Collaborative Communication

You will always know what is happening on your project, when, and why. Decisions are made together, timelines are honored, and expectations are documented in writing rather than left to verbal exchange.

Built for the Long Run

Our renovations are designed for owners who plan to stay in their property and enjoy it for years. Every structural and material decision is made for thirty-year performance rather than for a quick refresh.

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
We installed these huge sliding doors in our new home and then realize you can never leave them open because in Missouri you have bugs! Our new screen has changed that, along with giving us some shade at certain times of the day. We have nothing but praise from start to finish with Dylan and Beyond Blue.
Russell, C. Retractable screens
We struggled to get even a response from other shade companies. Dylan not only answered the phone but was at my house the next day. I’ve had power screens before (shadeworks), the experience with Dylan and the beyond blue team and the product blew us away. Shades are gorgeous, project done on time and budget, and the install was very professional and nice to work with. I’m a big fan on the product, the company, and Dylan; Two thumbs up from us!
Everett, W. Retractable screens
I got this lead from a good friend of mine who recently had screens installed at his house so I reached out to Dylan to replace my existing screen and to add two more. His follow through and communication were very good, installation was perfect and so far, we are very happy With the product. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to add outdoor screens to their patio or lanai.
Acten, D. Retractable screens
We had motorized screens installed on our back patio and the finished product was better than I could have imagined. They blend in nicely with our house and give us the option to have them up or down depending on the time of day. We worked with Ryan Salyer and he was great during the entire process and made sure everything was perfect and to our liking before accepting our final payment. We have already had lots of neighbors comment on how cool and nice they look. Would highly recommend Ryan and Beyond Blue Group!
Walsh, B. Retractable screens
Have to share the amazing experience we had with the install of our motorized screen! Ted was such a great person to work with, and once our order was in he managed to get us our screen installed for a family reunion we were having even though they had multiple projects going. Ted and Manuel did a wonderful job installing the screen and we are already trying to work the other sides into the budget!!! 5 stars truly is not enough for these 2 any how pleased we are with our purchase, if you are even thinking about motorized screens in the Omaha area you need to contact this team!!

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

A renovated pool beside a villa with mature planting
How do I know whether my space needs a renovation or a full rebuild?
Most existing outdoor spaces have more usable foundation than homeowners realize. We walk the property with you, evaluate every element, and recommend the approach that delivers the best result for your goals and budget. Sometimes that means targeted upgrades. Sometimes it means a complete redesign. The conversation is honest either way.
Can I renovate just one part of my outdoor space?
Yes. We handle focused renovations all the time, whether that is a pool resurface, a hardscape replacement, an equipment upgrade, or a single new structure. We can also coordinate phased renovations that improve the space over multiple seasons, with a master plan tying everything together.
How long does an outdoor renovation take?
Renovation timelines vary widely based on scope. A focused upgrade like a pool resurface or equipment replacement may take 2 to 6 weeks, while a full backyard redesign can run 12 to 24 weeks or more. We provide a detailed schedule before construction begins so there are no surprises along the way.
How much does an outdoor renovation cost?
Renovation pricing depends entirely on scope, materials, and structural work involved. After your consultation, we prepare a detailed proposal so you can plan with full clarity. We do not quote ranges over the phone, since every renovation is different and we prefer to provide accurate numbers rather than vague estimates.
Will I be able to use my pool or patio during the renovation?
It depends on the scope and the elements being renovated. For some projects, the pool stays usable throughout. For larger renovations involving the pool itself, we time the work to minimize disruption and review the schedule with you in detail before construction begins.
Do you renovate pools and outdoor spaces you did not originally build?
Yes. Most of our renovation projects are on properties built by other contractors. We assess the existing space, identify what is worth keeping, and recommend the right approach for the result you want.
Do I need permits for an outdoor renovation?
Many renovations involve structural, electrical, or plumbing changes that require permits, and most municipalities have specific requirements for pool work. We handle all permitting as part of the project, so you do not need to navigate the process on your own.
