Exterior Remodeling in Poway
Backyard remodels, pavers, artificial turf, retaining walls and outdoor kitchens for Poway homeowners, designed and built by one licensed local crew.
Poway is classic inland San Diego: bigger lots, real hillsides and granite soil that shapes how walls and drainage get built. Summer heat makes shade structures and turf-over-lawn conversions especially popular.

Local knowledge
What we build in Poway
What we build in Poway is shaped by the ground more than by style. Lots around Old Poway and Green Valley tend to run larger than the coast, with real hillside grade and granite-heavy soil that dictates how footings, drainage and retaining walls actually get built. On a lot like that, the ground work decides what is possible above it.
Inland heat is the other constant here, and it pushes most projects toward shade and water-wise choices rather than a traditional lawn. Turf conversions do well on Poway’s larger, sun-exposed yards, and horse-adjacent properties toward the valley floor often add drainage and access considerations a coastal lot would never face. We plan for both the soil and the sun.

What San Diego clients say
We had a GREAT experience with Sunny Builder's Group! From Rachel, our first contact, to Roei and his crew of workers, these folks did an amazing job accommodating us on short notice and transforming our side yard into a beautiful outdoor living space. They completed the job in only 8 days, from first call and appointment to assess the project, to finishing the job! Roei and his men were honest, professional, and paid great attention to detail in creating a lovely functional area for us to get the most out of our small yard. We would highly recommend them for any job, large or small and will definitely contact them in the future for additional projects!
Sunny Builders completely transformed our front yard from a high maintenance, high water consumption yard to an absolute drought tolerant, dream garden space. From concept design thru implementation to completion it all came together beautifully. The attention to detail of plant location, irrigation & drainage needs was far more than I expected. The crew arrived right on time every single day, worked incredibly hard, and treated our property with total respect. They even cleaned up the work area completely before leaving each night. The entire project was completed on time & on budget. We could not be happier and give them our highest recommendation!
I had a great experience with Sunny Builders Group. The team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. They paid close attention to detail, kept everything clean, and delivered quality workmanship. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and they made sure everything was completed on time. If you’re looking for a reliable construction and remodeling company, I highly recommend Sunny Builders Group!

Frequently asked questions
Why does Poway's granite soil matter for retaining wall projects?
Granite-heavy and decomposed granite soils common in Poway affect how footings drain and how a wall needs to be engineered, differently than clay or sandy soil closer to the coast. We test and account for the actual soil on your lot rather than assuming a standard spec will hold.
Is artificial turf worth it for a hot Poway backyard?
For many Poway yards, yes. Inland heat and larger lot sizes make a natural lawn harder to keep looking good without heavy watering. Turf holds up to sun and reduces the upkeep, though the right call depends on how the space gets used, which we assess on-site.
How does the free in-home consultation work?
Call (858) 888-1725 or send the form and we call you back to book a time. We come to your home, walk the space with you, measure and talk through scope and budget. It usually takes 30–60 minutes, and your written, itemized quote follows within two to three days. It is free for homeowners, with no obligation. Two situations are quoted differently: an appraisal-style quote on a property you do not own yet, and a quote for an insurance claim, are $350 each, credited in full toward your project if you go ahead with us.
How much does a backyard remodel cost in Poway?
It depends on the size of the yard, the materials and the scope. A paver patio prices very differently from a full outdoor kitchen. We measure on-site at your free in-home consultation and put the whole scope into a written, itemized quote, so you know the real number before committing to anything.
Is there a minimum project size?
Yes. Our projects generally start around $6,000 to $8,000. Below that a full design-build crew is not the right fit, and you would be paying for overhead your job does not need. Ask anyway: for smaller work in the San Diego area we will point you to a handyman we trust rather than leave you without an answer.
Do you provide 3D design and renderings?
Yes. When you sign the project with us, the 3D design and rendering are included at no extra charge, so you can see the space before we build it. If you want the design on its own, it starts at $2,700, and that amount is credited toward the project if you go ahead with us.
What warranty do you offer?
Warranty length follows the material, because different materials wear in different ways: retaining walls 20-Year, aluminum and vinyl 20-Year, pavers 15-Year, artificial turf 15-Year, concrete 10-Year, wood 5-Year and irrigation 1-Year. That is our workmanship warranty on the installation, written into your contract. Ask us what applies to your scope at the in-home consultation.
Are you a licensed contractor?
Yes, Sunny Builders Group is a licensed California contractor, CSLB #1098213, classifications B, C-27. We are bonded and carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance. You can verify the license on the CSLB website.
What areas do you serve?
We work across San Diego County and Temecula Valley. See the full list on our service areas page.
Do you only build outdoor projects?
Outdoor living is our specialty and the bulk of what we build. We are also a licensed general contractor, so we take on interior remodels: kitchens, bathrooms and flooring. If a project runs from the backyard into the house, it stays with one licensed contractor and one crew instead of being split between two companies.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, financing options are available for your project. Ask us about the current plans when you book your free in-home consultation.
