We also build sunrooms and outdoor living additions that extend your usable square footage. Every project is planned with your property's existing layout in mind, and our brother-in-law site supervisor maintains continuous on-site oversight so quality never slips.

Our backyard renovation services are available throughout Northport, Bessemer, Hoover, Moundville, Cottondale, and the surrounding communities.
Site Preparation and Earthmoving
Heavy Excavation, Dirt Work, and Site Prep Across West Alabama
Many backyard projects require serious groundwork before any building begins. Our team operates heavy excavating machinery and handles full site preparation, including excavation, slope regrading, retaining wall installation, and tree removal for complete backyard transformations. If your yard floods, erodes, or simply does not drain the way it should, proper grading and retaining wall construction can resolve the issue at the source. We also handle rock landscaping, exterior masonry stonework, and decorative pathway installation as part of larger transformation scopes. From the first dig to the final stone placement, Elite Renovations & Construction manages the entire process with precision and care.

Common Questions About Our Backyard Services
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of outdoor projects do you handle for a full backyard transformation?
Elite Renovations & Construction handles a wide range of outdoor work as part of a complete backyard transformation. This includes retaining wall installation, slope regrading, excavation and dirt work, tree removal, custom patio and deck construction, decorative fencing, fire pit builds, exterior steps, walkways, rock and stone landscaping, and porch construction. We also build sunrooms and outdoor living additions. Projects are managed by Marcus Sledge and a dedicated on-site supervisor, so the full scope is handled by one accountable crew rather than juggling multiple contractors.Are project evaluations and consultations free for landscaping and outdoor renovation work?
Yes. Elite Renovations & Construction offers completely free project evaluations and consultations across all 13 counties in our West Alabama service territory. There are no evaluation fees and no obligation attached to the initial consultation. Marcus Sledge or a member of the team will assess your property, discuss your goals, and provide a clear picture of what the project involves before any work begins. This applies to all outdoor and landscaping scopes, from smaller hardscaping installs to full backyard overhauls requiring excavation and structural builds.Is there a warranty on outdoor structures like patios, decks, and retaining walls?
Yes. Elite Renovations & Construction provides a standard two-year warranty on all structural add-ons and improvements, which includes outdoor structures such as patios, decks, retaining walls, and porch builds. There are no service charges for any warranty-related follow-up visits or corrections during that coverage period. This warranty is a standard part of every project, not an upgrade or add-on. It reflects the company's commitment to standing behind the work long after the crew has left the job site.Can you handle both the excavation and the finished landscaping on the same project?
Yes. Elite Renovations & Construction manages the full project scope in-house, from initial site preparation and heavy excavation through to finished hardscaping and landscape design. Our crew operates heavy excavating machinery for earthmoving, slope regrading, and retaining wall installation, and we also handle decorative elements like stone and rock landscaping, walkways, masonry, and tree planting. Handling both phases with one crew eliminates coordination delays and keeps the project on a consistent timeline under unified site supervision.Which counties and communities in West Alabama do you serve for outdoor projects?
We serve homeowners and property owners across a 13-county territory in West Alabama, including Tuscaloosa, Hale, Jefferson, Lamar, Perry, Walker, Marion, Greene, Sumter, Pickens, Fayette, Bibb, and Marengo counties. Key communities we work in include Tuscaloosa, Northport, Bessemer, Hoover, Moundville, Cottondale, Brookwood, Vernon, Centreville, Vestavia Hills, and Livingston.How does Elite handle communication and scheduling during an outdoor renovation project?
Communication is one of the things Elite Renovations & Construction is known for. Marcus Sledge maintains 24/7 phone availability and enforces a strict policy of never rescheduling confirmed client appointments. The office team, managed by family members, handles proactive daily updates, material ordering, and client communications throughout the project. A dedicated brother-in-law site supervisor maintains continuous on-site presence during active work. Verified client reviews have specifically praised the team for promptness and keeping in touch daily, which reflects a standard operational commitment rather than an exception.Do you incorporate rock landscaping and decorative stonework into backyard projects?
Yes. Rock landscaping and decorative masonry stonework are confirmed services offered by Elite Renovations & Construction. This includes exterior stone installations, decorative pathway and walkway construction, masonry steps, and rock-based landscape design elements. These are often incorporated into larger backyard transformation projects alongside retaining walls, grading work, and hardscaping builds. If your project calls for a combination of structural groundwork and finished decorative stone features, our crew handles both within the same project scope.
