Outdoor living projects
Grills, bars, and covered spaces built to match your pool so the whole backyard works as one.
Call (903) 309-7578A pool is better with somewhere to cook, eat, and relax right next to it. We design and build outdoor kitchens and living areas that match the pool and the house instead of looking bolted on after the fact — so your whole East Texas backyard flows together.
Because we handle the pool and the surrounding living space together, everything lines up — materials, finishes, grades, and drainage. You get one plan and one crew instead of juggling multiple contractors.
Our summers are hot and our storms are real, so we build outdoor kitchens and covered spaces to hold up: durable masonry and stone, weather-rated grills and components, proper drainage away from the slab, and covered structures that give you shade in July and shelter when the weather turns. The goal is a space you actually use nine or ten months a year, not just a showpiece.
We start with how you like to entertain — big family cookouts, quiet evenings by the fire, game-day crowds — and design around it. From there we handle layout, utilities (gas, water, electrical), masonry, counters, appliances, and the finishing touches like lighting and landscaping, all tied into the pool and decking so the whole backyard reads as one space.
Yes — that’s the ideal way to do it. Designing the pool and outdoor kitchen together means the materials, grades, drainage, and layout all line up, and you work with one crew instead of several.
Absolutely. We regularly add kitchens, bars, covered patios, and fire features to backyards with an existing pool, matching the new work to what’s already there.
Most include a built-in grill and counter space; many add side burners, a smoker, a bar with seating, a covered structure, lighting, and a fire feature. We scale it to your space and budget.
It depends on size, materials, appliances, and whether a covered structure is included. We’ll give you an itemized quote after seeing your yard. See our East Texas cost guide for how pricing works.
