The backyard is the whole point.

Nobody buys an acre in Ponce-Davis to admire it through a window. Life here is built around the outdoors: morning coffee under the oaks, dinner for twenty on the terrace, kids and dogs with real room to run. Owners invest accordingly, in covered loggias with summer kitchens, pergolas over stone terraces, pools framed in travertine, and driveways that can absorb a school-morning shuttle and a Saturday party without flinching. High Pines yards run smaller but work harder, and we design for both.

Outdoor structures in this unincorporated corner of Miami-Dade are permitted through the county's RER, from footings for pergolas to gas and electric for summer kitchens to drainage for new driveways. The tree canopy is part of the deal: removing or relocating a protected oak requires a DERM permit, so we design terraces around trees rather than through them. And because most streets here have no HOA design committee, what gets built is between you, your architect, and the county. That is a freedom worth using well.

PGX builds exteriors with the same discipline as interiors: fixed written scope, real drawings, daily supervision, and trades who understand that an established garden is not a staging yard. We coordinate re-roofs, stucco, and exterior paint alongside outdoor construction so the house and grounds finish as one project instead of three overlapping ones. Every gas line, footing, and outlet is permitted and inspected, because a summer kitchen should outlast the trends it was designed around. That is the only way we build.
