Your backyard isn’t just empty space behind your house. It’s potential waiting to be unlocked.
When we finish your backyard remodel, you’ll have a space that actually gets used. No more looking out at wasted square footage or dealing with areas that collect leaves and require constant maintenance. Instead, you’ll have functional zones for cooking, entertaining, and relaxing that make sense for how you actually live.
The right backyard design solves the problems you’ve been putting up with. Hot Texas afternoons become manageable with proper shade structures. Entertaining becomes effortless when you have dedicated spaces for guests. Your property value increases while your maintenance headaches decrease.
A Plus Home Remodel has been transforming outdoor spaces in Tarrant County for over 30 years. We’ve completed more than 400 projects, and our clients consistently refer us to their friends and family.
We understand Texas outdoor living. The brutal summer heat, the occasional freeze, the soil conditions that make some contractors throw up their hands. We’ve seen it all and solved it all.
What sets us apart is simple: we handle everything. Permits, HOA approvals, design, construction, cleanup. You get one point of contact, one timeline, and one team that coordinates all the moving parts so you don’t have to.
We start with understanding how you want to use your space. Not what looks pretty in magazines, but what actually works for your family and your property.
Next comes the design phase where we use digital technology to show you exactly what your finished backyard will look like. No guesswork, no surprises. You’ll see materials, dimensions, and placement before we break ground.
During construction, you’ll get daily updates and see consistent progress. We handle all permits and approvals upfront, so there are no delays or complications. Our team stays on-site throughout the project, ensuring quality control and addressing any questions immediately.

Every backyard remodel we complete includes materials specifically chosen for our climate. Composite decking that won’t warp in the heat. Concrete work that accounts for soil movement. Shade structures designed to handle wind loads.
In the Markum Ranch area, we see a lot of properties with challenging terrain and unique drainage considerations. We’ve developed solutions for sloped lots, rocky soil, and properties that need creative approaches to maximize usable space.
Our most popular combinations include covered patios with outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas with seating walls, and multi-level designs that create distinct zones for different activities. We also specialize in low-maintenance solutions that let you enjoy your space instead of constantly maintaining it.
Backyard remodeling costs in the Markum Ranch area typically range from $15,000 to $50,000, depending on the scope and materials selected. A basic patio extension with concrete might start around $15,000, while a comprehensive outdoor living space with covered areas, outdoor kitchen, and fire features can reach $40,000-$50,000.
The investment makes sense when you consider the return. Outdoor improvements typically recoup 46-95% of their cost in added home value, plus you get immediate enjoyment from the space. We provide fixed-price estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden costs or surprises during construction.
Most backyard remodeling projects in Markum Ranch require permits for concrete work, electrical installations, and structures over certain sizes. We handle all permit applications and approvals as part of our service, including any HOA requirements specific to your neighborhood.
The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, which we build into our project timeline. We submit all plans, handle inspections, and ensure everything meets local building codes. This protects you from future issues and ensures your improvements add legitimate value to your property. You don’t need to visit city offices or navigate bureaucracy – we take care of all of it.
Most backyard remodeling projects in Markum Ranch take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on complexity and weather conditions. A simple patio extension might be completed in 10-14 days, while comprehensive outdoor living spaces with multiple elements typically require 3-4 weeks.
We provide a detailed timeline before starting and communicate daily about progress. Texas weather can occasionally cause delays, but we plan for this and keep you informed of any adjustments. Our goal is consistent progress with quality results, not rushing through to meet unrealistic deadlines that compromise the finished product.
For Texas outdoor spaces, we recommend materials that handle extreme temperature swings and intense UV exposure. Composite decking outperforms wood because it won’t warp, crack, or require constant staining. For patios, stamped concrete or natural stone pavers work well because they stay cooler than solid concrete and handle freeze-thaw cycles better.
Shade structures should be aluminum or steel rather than wood to avoid warping and pest issues. We also recommend lighter colors for hardscaping to reduce heat absorption. These material choices cost slightly more upfront but save significant maintenance time and money over the years while providing better comfort and durability.
Absolutely. Many properties in Markum Ranch have slopes, rocky soil, or drainage challenges that require creative solutions. We’ve built retaining walls, multi-level patios, and terraced outdoor spaces that turn difficult terrain into attractive features.
Sloped lots often provide opportunities for dramatic multi-level designs that create distinct entertainment zones. We handle all grading, drainage solutions, and structural requirements to ensure your outdoor space is both beautiful and functional. These challenging sites often result in the most unique and impressive finished projects because they require custom solutions rather than cookie-cutter approaches.
We provide complete design-build services, handling everything from initial concept through final construction. Our process includes digital design technology that lets you see exactly how your finished space will look before we start building.
During the design phase, we consider your specific needs, property characteristics, and budget to create a plan that maximizes both function and value. We’re not just contractors who build what you hand us – we’re partners who help you think through how you’ll actually use the space and what solutions work best for your lifestyle and property. This integrated approach prevents costly changes during construction and ensures better results.
