Your Kansas City Outdoor Living Contractor
Decks, fences, pergolas, screened porches, and patio structures designed and built as one project — so your backyard finally becomes the room you spend the summer in.
One Crew, One Plan, One Backyard Done Right
Outdoor living projects in Kansas City almost never stay in one lane. A homeowner calls about a deck and ends up wanting a pergola over it. A family books a fence install and realizes the patio it's enclosing is cracked and needs to be rebuilt. A new pool goes in and now the whole back of the house — fence, gate, deck, shade structure — has to be rethought together.
That's where most contractors fall short. Decks and fences end up as separate jobs from separate crews on separate timelines, with no one in charge of how it all fits together. Heights don't match. Material colors clash. The fence post lands two inches into the new deck. The summer is over before the work is.
Uprise plans and builds the whole outdoor living project as one. Your deck, fence, pergola, and patio structures get drawn together, permitted together through the City of Kansas City or Unified Government, and built by the same crew working off the same plan. One point of contact, one written proposal, one schedule.

We do not offer landscaping, concrete pours, irrigation, or pool installation. We focus on the structures — and we coordinate with your concrete or pool contractor on schedule.
Common Kansas City Outdoor Living Combinations
Deck + Privacy Fence
The most common combo we build in KC. New composite or cedar deck, full-perimeter 6 ft privacy fence with a matching stain or finish. Built together so the fence post layout, deck stair landing, and gate placement actually agree with each other.
Deck + Pergola + Outdoor Lighting
For homeowners who want shade and ambiance without a full screened porch. Cedar pergola with optional retractable canopy, deck-mounted post lighting, and integrated benches. The KC summer entertaining package.
Screened Porch + Adjacent Deck
A roofed, screened section for evenings without mosquitoes plus an open deck for full sun and grilling. We design the transition so the rooflines, railings, and floor heights all line up — not three projects bolted together.
Pool Surround
Code-compliant pool fencing, raised deck for lounging, and an adjacent pergola or covered area for shade. Built in coordination with your pool contractor so we don't trip over each other on the schedule.
Why KC Homeowners Hire Uprise for Outdoor Living
One Plan, Not Three
Deck, fence, and pergola designed as one project. Heights match. Stains match. The fence post doesn't end up under the deck stair.
Built for KC Weather
Footings below frost line. Hot-dip galvanized hardware. Material selection based on sun exposure, shade, and Kansas humidity. Built for 25 years, not the bare minimum.
All Permits, One Crew
We pull every permit, call dig-line, file the HOA paperwork, and run the project with one crew on one schedule. You stay out of the queue.
Outdoor Living Across the Kansas City Metro
We design and build outdoor living projects across both sides of the state line, including Kansas City MO, Kansas City KS, Overland Park, Lenexa, Leawood, Olathe, Shawnee, and Lee's Summit.

Inside Project Too?
