You Deserve a Backyard, Not a Battle
Contractor prices have gotten out of hand. We believe in fair pricing, hard work, and beautiful spaces, not padding bids to pay for somebody's toys.
Overpriced Contractors
Too many crews mark up every bid to cover their new Cybertruck or Lambo payment. You shouldn't have to fund someone's lifestyle to enjoy your own backyard.
Crews That Disappear
Half-finished patios, ghosted phone calls, and timelines that slide for months while your yard sits torn up.
Surprise Change Orders
The 'final' price keeps climbing. Unlicensed crews cut corners on prep, then you pay twice when it cracks or fails.

Read articleA Message from the Owners
We started Heat Wave back in 2022 because we watched contractor prices climb year after year, not because the work got better, but because too many owners were busy financing a new Cybertruck or Lambo on the back of every bid.
That's not us. A good crew is going to do a quality install no matter what they drive. We believe in fair prices, hard work, and beautiful spaces, the kind of backyard an average homeowner can actually afford to enjoy.
Every estimate is line-itemed out so you know exactly what you're paying for. No padded numbers, no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end. Everything upfront, every time.
