Your backyard should be where everyone gathers.
Decks, patios, pavilions, outdoor kitchens, and more. One team does everything, from design and pricing to the final build. We handle the details. You keep your weekends.
THE DREAM
Imagine a backyard
barbecue, one year
from now.
The grill’s going and you’re the one behind it, nobody’s stuck in the kitchen tonight. The neighbors wandered over an hour ago and no one’s in a hurry to leave. The kids are running the yard while you and your wife split a bottle of Chambourcin on the patio you finally built. Nobody’s looking at a phone. Across Southern Illinois, this is where friendships actually get built, around a fire pit, under a pavilion, at the outdoor kitchen everybody ends up standing around. We build the places where that happens.
DESIGN FIRST
Your backyard shouldn’t become your second job.
You know what you want out there. Maybe you've sketched it on a napkin. Maybe you've even made a call or two. What you really want is simple: somebody who gets your vision, gives you a real plan, a real price, and handles the whole thing, so the only part left for you is enjoying it. That's exactly what Trades Master is.
We design the project with you first, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before anyone swings a hammer. It's backed by our Design Match Guarantee: what we show you is what we build. No running around. No juggling. One call, and it's in motion.

Designed in-house. Grounded in real measurements. Planned to be built.
01
Outdoor Kitchens
The grill island. The bar seating. The fridge, so nobody has to run inside. An outdoor kitchen turns dinner into an event and your patio into the gathering spot, and because our trades are in-house, the gas, electrical, and finish work all happen under one plan instead of three schedules.
02
Decks & Patios
Composite or wood, ground-level or multi-level, simple or showpiece, designed around how your family will actually use it and built to still be standing strong when your kids bring their kids over. This isn’t a weekend deck kit. It’s the anchor of your backyard for the next few decades.
04
Pavilions & Porches
Shade in July, cover in an October rain, ceiling fans on the still nights. A roof over the party stretches your outdoor season by months.
03
Outdoor Fireplaces
& Fire Pits
The season doesn’t end in September. A fire pit or outdoor fireplace is where the best conversations of the fall happen, and where your backyard earns its keep in three seasons instead of one.
05
Balconies
The morning coffee spot. The quiet end of the day. Built structurally right, because a balcony is one place where ‘good enough’ isn’t.
Why Trades Master
One call. Every trade. Zero juggling.
A backyard project touches more trades than most people expect. Footings and framing, electrical for the lighting, finish carpentry that makes it beautiful. Bring in separate contractors and you're left coordinating every phase and every moving piece yourself. Not here. Our trades are in-house, one plan, one team accountable to you from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. We've got the experience, the tools, and the people to build this at a level most crews can't touch, and you only ever have to make one call.
The call is the first step.
If you've been looking at the house and picturing better, it's time to pick up the phone. A quick conversation about what you want, and we'll tell you honestly whether we're a good fit. If we're not, we'll point you in the right direction.
Call (618) 268-1234
We respond within one business day. The call is always free. And your number won't sign you up for a lifetime of texts, no automated spam, ever.
