Outdoor Living & Exterior in Pinecrest
An acre of yard is a design brief.
Pinecrest backyards are the point. The village grew up around Pinecrest Gardens and its canopy of oaks and banyans, and the best properties in South Pinecrest and along Old Cutler Road treat the outdoors as another wing of the house: a covered terrace with a summer kitchen, a pergola over the dining area, a driveway that arrives rather than merely parks. On an acre, outdoor living is not decorating — it is construction, with footings, gas, drainage, and electrical that should be permitted and built like the house itself.
Exterior work here runs through the Village of Pinecrest Building and Planning Department, and the canopy comes first: tree protection is written into the village code, so terraces, driveways, and pergolas get designed around root zones and protected specimens, not over them. Anything structural or roofed also has to meet High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, meaning engineered footings and connections plus Miami-Dade approved products for any new openings. We handle the permits, the arborist coordination, and the inspections as one package.
Outdoor projects attract unlicensed crews the way pools attract leaves; Pinecrest deserves better. PGX builds exterior work on a fixed written scope with real drawings, supervises the site daily, and coordinates every trade that touches your house — stucco, paint, re-roof coordination, impact openings — so the exterior reads as one design instead of five subcontracts. We protect the landscaping and hardscape while we work, and we leave the site clean enough that the only evidence is the terrace.

What's included
Outdoor and exterior work we take on.
Construction-grade outdoor living — engineered, permitted, and finished to the same standard as your interiors.
Covered terraces under the canopy
Roofed outdoor rooms with fans, lighting, and tongue-and-groove ceilings, tied into the structure and engineered for hurricane-zone wind loads.
Summer kitchens, permitted and piped
Built-in grills, refrigeration, and stone counters with the gas, electrical, and ventilation permitted and inspected — not merely assembled.
Pergolas clear of the root zones
Custom pergolas and trellises with proper footings and fastening, sited around Pinecrest's protected trees instead of against them.
Acre-lot driveways and pool decks
Pavers, concrete, and natural stone for long acre-lot driveways and pool surrounds, graded so storm water goes where it should.
Exterior envelope refresh
Stucco repair, full repainting, impact windows and doors, and re-roof coordination that makes a 1970s exterior read current.
