Local knowledge
What we build in Bonsall
Bonsall is one of the last genuinely rural pockets of North County, and the lots show it. Parcels along the San Luis Rey River valley and up toward Camino del Rey run to real acreage, with citrus and avocado slopes, mature oaks and horse facilities that were sited long before anyone thought about a backyard plan. Working around what is already on the ground is most of the job here.
Slope and access shape the rest. A long private drive on an unincorporated county parcel needs a different base and a different width than a suburban approach, and terracing a working hillside means holding grade properly before any planting or paving goes in. Bonsall projects tend to succeed when the groundwork is treated as the project rather than as prep for the pretty part.

What San Diego clients say
I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, honest, and detail-oriented. They communicated clearly throughout the entire project, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what they promised.
Sunny builders does quality work and is very easy to work with. We have hired their team for two separate yard projects and they have been great. They have been on time and on budget, and the finished project looks great.
We recently hired Sunny Builders to build our backyard BBQ area, and the results are fantastic. They helped bring our vision to life and created a beautiful, functional outdoor space that our family enjoys every week. The crew was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean worksite throughout the project. Their expertise and dedication were evident in every step of the process. We have received so many compliments from friends and neighbors. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions
Do Bonsall horse properties need different planning for drives and hardscape?
Usually. Trailer turning, wash areas and truck traffic all change how a drive and its base are built compared with a standard suburban approach, and hardscape has to stay clear of paddocks and existing irrigation lines. We walk the property and confirm what your specific layout needs before anything is priced.
Is permitting different in Bonsall than in a city like Oceanside?
It can be. Bonsall is unincorporated, so exterior work goes through San Diego County rather than a city building department, and requirements vary with parcel size, slope and fire zone. As a licensed, bonded and insured California contractor we check what applies to your address during the free in-home consultation.
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 Bonsall?
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.
