Let’s create a space you’ll truly live in — and love for years to come.
Bringing life & beauty into San Diego homes & businesses since 1998
Backyards are more than just outdoor space, they’re an extension of your home and an expression of who you are.
At IEE Designs, we do what we do because we love helping our clients create an outdoor lifestyle. If you can dream it, we can build it. We partner with you to design and create spaces where you can gather with friends and family, celebrate life’s moments, and make memories that last a lifetime.
We believe the best outdoor spaces hold more than furniture and finishes, they hold stories, love, and connection. And because life can be tough sometimes, we also believe your backyard should be a refuge: a place to breathe, reset, and feel at peace.

Our Process
Working with IEE Designs is a guided, full-service experience, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. You can expect a collaborative process, strong communication, craftsmanship, and an outdoor space built around the way you live.

2. Design & Planning
We create a tailored design that fits your lifestyle, including layout, materials, and key features 5 (hardscape, planting, lighting, outdoor living elements, etc.). If needed, we coordinate surveys, engineering, and permitting.
3. Clear Proposal & Timeline
You receive a detailed proposal outlining scope, materials, and a project schedule. We review everything with you so expectations are clear before work begins.
4. Construction & Project Management
Our team manages the job site, scheduling, and quality control. You’ll receive consistent communication and updates throughout the build, and we address questions quickly so there are no surprises.
5. Final Details & Walkthrough
We complete finishing touches, review the project with you, and create a punch list if needed. We make sure everything is clean, functional, and ready for you to enjoy.
