Outdoor Living
Custom decks, patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens built for Sacramento's year-round outdoor lifestyle.
Your Backyard, Built for Living
Sacramento averages more than 260 sunny days a year. That is over eight months of barbecues, family dinners, morning coffee on the patio, and evenings around the fire pit. If your backyard is not set up for that kind of living, you are leaving the best part of your home unused. At Keystone Building Services, we design and build outdoor living spaces that turn underused yards into the rooms you actually want to spend time in.
We build everything from simple paver patios and composite decks to full outdoor living rooms with kitchens, pergola shade structures, fire pits, and landscape lighting. Whether you want a low-key space for weekend grilling or a complete backyard transformation with a built-in BBQ island and seating walls, our crew handles every phase — design, permits, concrete, framing, electrical, and finishing.
Owner Gerardo Diaz is a licensed electrician, which means your outdoor lighting, outlet placement, and any electrical needs for outdoor kitchens or entertainment systems are handled in-house with code-compliant precision. No separate electrician, no scheduling conflicts, and no guessing about whether the work will pass inspection. That expertise is especially valuable outdoors, where weather-rated wiring, GFCI protection, and proper fixture placement matter for both safety and longevity.
Every outdoor project is backed by a California contractor license (#1095766), a $15,000 bond, and full insurance. Gerardo and his five-man crew are on-site personally managing every detail — from the grade of the concrete pour to the final stain on your deck boards.


Full-Scope Outdoor Construction
Why Choose Keystone for Your Outdoor Project
Most outdoor contractors specialize in one thing — concrete, or fencing, or landscaping. That means your backyard project ends up with three or four different companies, none of whom talk to each other. At Keystone, we manage every trade under one roof. Concrete and pavers, framing and pergola construction, electrical for lighting and outlets, plumbing for outdoor kitchens — one contractor, one point of contact, and one crew that knows the entire plan.
Gerardo Diaz personally oversees every outdoor build. His background as a licensed electrician means your landscape lighting is designed properly from day one, not patched in as an afterthought. Low-voltage pathway lights, accent uplighting on pergolas, weatherproof outlets for entertainment systems — it is all part of the original plan, wired correctly and built to last.
We do not take shortcuts, no matter what it costs us. That applies to outdoor work as much as it does to kitchens and bathrooms. Proper drainage under your patio, code-compliant footings on your deck, fire-rated materials around your fire pit — the details you cannot see are the ones that matter most.
