What experience do I need to own an outdoor construction franchise with Proficient Patios & Backyard Designs?

We’re looking for franchise owners who share our passion for high-quality outdoor living design and construction. While previous industry experience is helpful when starting an outdoor construction business, it’s not required for our franchise owners. Ideal candidates include individuals, teams or business partners with backgrounds in construction, operations, or team management. If you’re detail-oriented, client-focused, and ready to lead a team, we’ll provide the training to help you succeed.

Franchise owners will attend comprehensive training at our Las Vegas headquarters, including:

  • 3 weeks for franchise owners
  • 3 weeks for general managers
  • 2 weeks for sales personnel


You’ll learn about operations, sales, systems, and customer service, both in the classroom and onsite. During launch, our support team will be on hand to guide your opening, and you’ll gain access to our Confidential Operations Manual, marketing resources, vendor relationships, and ongoing coaching. Plus, we’re always just a phone call or email away.

The estimated initial investment ranges from $239,250 to $841,220, which includes a $50,000 initial franchise fee. This investment covers training, initial equipment and inventory, showroom setup, marketing, and more. As with any new business, it’s important to ensure you have adequate capital for initial growth.

We do not offer direct financing. However, we may refer you to third-party lending partners who understand the franchise industry and may assist with funding needs on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. Franchisees pay a 6% royalty fee on gross revenues. These fees help support ongoing training, system updates, marketing tools, and operational resources to ensure your business stays strong and efficient. Refer to the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) for full details.

Franchisees are required to spend at least 4% of gross revenues on local marketing efforts and a minimum of $15,000 on Grand Opening promotions within the first 60 days of operation. You’ll also contribute 1% of gross revenues to the national brand marketing fund (with a possible increase to 1.5%). These funds help us grow brand visibility and provide you with ready-to-use marketing materials and strategies.

The initial franchise agreement term is 7 years, with the option to renew for two additional terms of 5 years each, subject to agreement terms and performance.
