Michael Lapaglia
Managing Member · Design Lead

Mike runs the design side of the business — material sourcing, render review, change-order conversations, and the long-term client relationships that turn one project into a phone call five years later for the next one. He's the name in Judi's Georgetown testimonial: "Mike and the HCOL team really turned our backyard from a boring weedfest to a striking and safe outdoor mecca for our family."

When a Hill Country backyard ends up with a splash pad, a cantera fireplace, and a Belgard driveway that lasts twenty years, Mike sketched it, specced it, and signed off on it.

Kyle Sorensen
Managing Member · Field & Client Experience

Kyle leads the crews on every site. He's the one walking your property on Friday mornings, the one you'll text on a Saturday if a gas line needs checking, the one our clients name by name in their reviews. Ben in Dripping Springs wrote: "After working with Kyle Sorensen and his crew on my multi-level deck and outdoor kitchen I will gladly tell anyone they are the BEST OF THE BEST by far." Kellen in Austin echoed it: "Kyle and his crew were very professional & friendly with zero pressure."

That's the bar — show up, do what you said, don't surprise the client. It's also why we're a Belgard Preferred Installer and ICPI Certified.

What we promise

Three things, always.

Bait-and-switch is rampant in outdoor living. Promised crews don't show. Subs swap out the lead mason on day three. Quotes balloon by 40% mid-project. None of that here.

In-house crews

The mason who quotes the wall is the mason who lays it. The carpenter who frames the pergola is on payroll, not pulled from a labor pool. We don't sub the work that matters.

Written everything

Scope, material spec, change orders, punch list. If it's not in writing, it doesn't get built. If it gets added, you sign before we swing a hammer.

Five-year warranty

Workmanship warrantied five years. Stone, appliances, and fixtures follow manufacturer terms — many longer. We've never not honored a warranty claim.
