🏖️Beach Day, Anyone?

🌻The Outdoor Room You Didn’t Know You Needed

Bored with your backyard? Let’s fix that.

Imagine a space that feels like a second living room—under the stars. A place for morning coffee, family dinners, barefoot dancing after dark, or just a quiet moment to yourself. ✨

Sandra and her crew at A&S Construction are so good at turning basic backyards into beautifully built patios and custom decks that feel like an extension of your home.

These aren’t cookie-cutter installs. They’re designed around your lifestyle, your aesthetic, and the way you actually want to live outside. #sponsored

Last weekend, Sarge lived his best lake life—leaping off the dock like a champ & proudly retrieving his absolute favorite dog training dummy. He fetches, he sprints, & yes… he dodges his cousin Rio’s sneaky attempts to steal it every. single. time. 🐾 If your pup lives for the chase, this floatable dummy is a total game-changer!
