TeamG7 Design & Build

We hired TeamG7 to help with our pool and landscape design & build project.
To provide a little background, I came into this experience as a contractor myself. Over the years, my wife and I have always completed our own home improvement projects, including flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, window replacements, and more. Because of that, we have always been very hands-on and selective when it comes to quality, workmanship, and trust. When we decided to take on a project as extensive and detailed as building our ideal outdoor living space, we knew the biggest challenge would be choosing the right team—one with the vision, values, and capability to bring it to life.
After spending several months designing a rough layout on our own, we were ready to partner with a company that could refine our ideas, contribute new ones, translate them into a professional plan, and execute the work at a high level. We chose Team G7, and having rarely hired contractors for our own home projects, we admittedly did not know exactly what to expect after signing the contract. Would they truly deliver on the vision we created together? Would the quality match the promises?
I can say without hesitation that Team G7 exceeded our expectations.
At first, it was not easy for us to let go and trust someone else with a project this important. However, that quickly changed as we experienced their professionalism, commitment to doing things right, quality craftsmanship, respect for our property and neighbors, and strong communication throughout the project. The name Team G7 truly reflects how they work—the homeowner is part of the team. We met regularly to review progress, make decisions, discuss adjustments, and address field conditions as they arose. That collaborative approach gave us confidence every step of the way.
As the project progressed and our backyard oasis began taking shape, it became increasingly clear that we had made the right choice. Like any large project, there were occasional disagreements or challenges, but every issue was handled professionally, respectfully, and with a satisfactory resolution.
As a contractor, I also understand that one of the most difficult parts of any project is finishing strong. This is often where contractors fall short. Team G7, however, has a process they call the “Red Zone,” which ensures the final phase of the project receives the same level of care and attention as the beginning. Every detail is addressed, every item is completed thoroughly, and the transition from construction to maintenance is handled in a deliberate and thoughtful way.
Today, as we sit at our outdoor kitchen overlooking the pool, we can honestly say our vision has become a reality because of Team G7. We are extremely grateful for their work and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor who values quality, teamwork, communication, and customer satisfaction.
Thank you, Team G7. We will absolutely be calling on you again for our next project.

We hired TeamG7 to perform a major landscaping and backyard construction project. The initial state was a completely blank slate with no plantings, structures, fences, etc. - nothing. TeamG7 executed a jointly-designed plan that added plantings to surround and fill in the property, fencing to create privacy and provide security, a striking modern patio structure with innovative aluminum materials that houses an outside BBQ/kitchen, living/conversation space, and dining area, an expansive non-slip tile patio, a custom circular concrete firepit, a modern horizontal-cable fence, a unique angular-shaped pool (with specialized modern coping) that projects over a steep slope and has an integrated jet spa, a sun deck with high-end composite materials, a garden and fruit tree area, a winding natural landscape-tie staircase leading to a separate detached building down a slope, etc. The owner and tireless leader of TeamG7, Philip Lizarraga, kept in constant communication, collaborated on changes and ideas, patiently worked through challenges, and managed numerous subcontractors with grace, kindness, positivity, and limitless enthusiasm. The quality of work was impeccable (not always on the first try) and Philip has built a team that pays attention to detail, is respectful and considerate, and knows how to take on a challenge. We pushed the team with new and challenging designs and they ultimately delivered exactly what we wanted. Thank you TeamG7!

G7 was originally brought into architect the backyard and the front yard and associated landscaping and hardscaping. Philip is patient and works with me throughout and we're still working on projects as I decide to get around to them LOL. But I regularly have the neighbors come by to compliment me on the Beautiful and inviting front to our home which is over 3,000 ft I believe. Even still after a couple years the yard still looks like AstroTurf perfect green and all the plants and trees are thriving! I'm so happy to come home or walk out and sit on the porch with a beautiful surrounding!
