Your outdoor space should be an extension of your home—a place where family gathers, friends are entertained, and memories are made. At CLR Builders, we specialize in designing and building custom exterior projects that improve the beauty, functionality, and value of your property.

Whether you have a clear vision or just know you want to make better use of your yard, we'll work with you to create an outdoor space that fits your home, your lifestyle, and your budget. Every project is thoughtfully planned and built with quality craftsmanship, durable materials, and attention to detail that will stand up to Michigan's changing seasons.

From simple landscape enhancements to fully customized outdoor living areas, we take pride in creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Custom Outdoor Living Spaces

A well-designed outdoor space creates opportunities to relax, entertain guests, and spend more time enjoying your property. We build custom features that are designed specifically for your home rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions.

Our custom exterior projects include:

• Pergolas and shade structures

• Gazebos

• Privacy screens

• Outdoor seating areas

• Patios and gathering spaces

• Campfire and fire pit areas

• Outdoor kitchens and grilling areas

• Walkways and pathways

• Decorative fencing and gates

• Raised garden beds

• Custom planter boxes

• Landscape features

• Built-in benches and seating

• Exterior carpentry and specialty woodwork

If you have an idea that isn't listed, we'd love to hear it. Many of our favorite projects begin with a homeowner's unique vision.

Custom Pergolas & Gazebos

Pergolas and gazebos are among the most popular ways to add character and functionality to an outdoor space. Whether you're looking for shade over a patio, a centerpiece for your backyard, or a comfortable place to relax, we'll build a structure that complements your home's architecture and fits naturally into your landscape.

Every pergola or gazebo is carefully planned for durability, proper structural support, and long-term performance. We pay close attention to material selection, layout, and finishing details so your investment looks great and lasts for years.

Fire Pit & Outdoor Gathering Areas

There's nothing quite like spending an evening around a fire with family and friends. We build custom outdoor gathering spaces that are designed to become the heart of your backyard.

Whether you're envisioning a simple fire pit surrounded by comfortable seating or a larger entertainment area connected to a patio or outdoor kitchen, we'll help create a space that's both inviting and practical.

Garden Features & Landscape Enhancements

Beautiful landscaping starts with thoughtful design and quality construction. We build custom garden beds, planter boxes, decorative landscape features, and other outdoor improvements that add structure, organization, and visual appeal to your yard.

Whether you're creating a backyard garden, highlighting your home's entrance, or improving curb appeal, our custom-built features are designed to blend naturally with your property while providing lasting durability.

Exterior Carpentry with Quality Craftsmanship

Every outdoor project requires careful planning and skilled craftsmanship. From decorative wood accents to functional structures, we approach each project with the same attention to detail that has earned the trust of homeowners throughout the Lansing area.

We believe that quality construction isn't just about appearance—it's about building projects that perform well for years to come. That's why we focus on solid construction methods, quality materials, and finishes that can withstand Michigan's weather.
