Gates Mills is one of Ohio's wealthiest villages, and it looks the part: Tudor and colonial estates set back on multi-acre wooded lots along the Chagrin River. Backyards here are private and large, often sloping toward the water or the tree line. That scale calls for a builder who designs for it. As an outdoor living contractor working throughout Gates Mills, TAB Property Enhancement is an eight-time Best of Houzz winner, 2019 through 2026, and our work here runs to estate-scale outdoor living: expansive paver terraces, multi-level decks, covered pavilions, and outdoor kitchens that match the architecture.
The materials matter more on properties like these, where the outdoor space sits in full view of a substantial home. We build decks only in AZEK and TimberTech capped-polymer composite, in colors and rail profiles chosen to suit the house. For terraces, walkways, and pool surrounds, we set Unilock and Techo-Bloc pavers on a deep, freeze-thaw-rated base that holds its line on a river-valley lot. Pergolas and fireplaces carry the living space into spring and fall.
Gates Mills keeps its character through a strict architectural review process, and we build with that in mind. Every project begins with a design consultation and a 3D rendering you approve before construction, which also gives you something concrete to bring to the village. As a TimberTech Platinum Elite Contractor and a Unilock Authorized Contractor, we pull permits, handle engineering, and run the job with our own crews, so the work meets the village's standards without a string of subcontractors on your property.
On wooded estate lots, the details carry the space after dark: low-voltage lighting threaded through the landscape, built-in seating around a fireplace, and grade-following steps that tie the terrace to the lawn. Gates Mills homeowners expect work that lasts. We build to that expectation.
