You’re not just getting a patio. You’re getting a room that doesn’t need air conditioning, a kitchen that never feels cramped, and an entertainment space where your guests actually want to hang out.
When housing costs keep climbing, smart homeowners extend their living space outdoors instead of shopping for bigger mortgages. Your backyard becomes the family room where kids play after dinner, the office where you take calls on nice days, and the party space that makes hosting effortless.
The best part? You’ll use it year-round in Texas. Morning coffee tastes better outside. Evening dinners feel less rushed when you’re not stuck indoors. Weekend projects become more enjoyable when you have a proper outdoor workspace.
We’ve been remodeling backyards in Tarrant County since before outdoor living became trendy. Back then, it was just called having a nice patio.
What hasn’t changed is our approach: one contractor handles everything from design to cleanup. You get a single timeline, one point of contact, and no finger-pointing when something needs adjusting. Every person working on your project carries proper licensing and insurance for their specific trade work.
Highlands at Willow Springs homeowners appreciate that we pull permits, handle inspections, and make sure everything meets local building codes properly. No shortcuts, no surprises, no wondering if it’s done right.
First, we look at your space and listen to how you actually want to use it. Not what looks good on Pinterest, but what works for your family’s real life. We use digital design technology so you can see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground.
Next comes the straightforward part: we handle permits, coordinate all the trades, and keep you updated on progress every step. Daily cleanup is part of our process, so you’re not living in construction chaos longer than necessary.
Finally, we walk through everything together to make sure it’s exactly what we promised. Your written estimate is your final price unless you request changes to the original scope. No hidden fees, no surprise costs, no wondering what you actually agreed to pay for.

Concrete patios and walkways that handle Texas weather without cracking or settling. Pergolas and covered areas that provide real shade when you need it. Outdoor kitchens designed for actual cooking, not just looking impressive. Fire pits positioned where the smoke won’t chase your guests around the yard.
In Highlands at Willow Springs, we see a lot of requests for multi-functional spaces that work for both quiet family time and entertaining. The key is getting the layout right from the start—traffic flow matters just as much outside as it does inside your house.
We also handle the practical stuff that makes or breaks outdoor projects: proper drainage so water flows away from your foundation, electrical work that meets code requirements, and gas lines installed safely for grills and fire features. These details aren’t exciting, but they’re what separate a professional job from a weekend DIY disaster.
Most complete backyard remodels take 2-4 weeks depending on scope and weather. A basic patio extension might finish in a week, while a full outdoor kitchen with pergola and fire pit typically runs 3-4 weeks.
We map out the entire project schedule upfront and keep you updated on progress every step. Weather delays happen in Texas—that’s just reality. But we build buffer time into our estimates so you’re not surprised when afternoon thunderstorms push things back a day or two.
The timeline also depends on permit approval, which varies by project complexity. We handle all the paperwork and inspections, but city processing times are out of our control.
Basic patio extensions start around $8,000-12,000. Complete outdoor living spaces with kitchens, pergolas, and fire features typically run $25,000-50,000. The wide range depends on materials, size, and how elaborate you want to get.
Concrete work costs less than natural stone but still looks great with decorative finishes. Outdoor kitchens vary dramatically based on appliances and utility connections needed. Fire pits can be simple gas rings or elaborate stone installations.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every component, so you know exactly where your money goes. No hidden fees, no surprise costs after we start. Your written estimate is your final price unless you request changes to the original scope.
Yes, we pull all required permits and handle inspections so your project meets local building codes properly. This includes structural permits for pergolas, electrical permits for outdoor lighting and outlets, and gas permits for fire features and outdoor kitchens.
Permit requirements vary based on project scope and location within Highlands at Willow Springs. Some simple patio work doesn’t require permits, while anything involving utilities, structures, or major grading typically does.
We know which projects trigger permit requirements and handle all the paperwork upfront. This protects you if you ever sell your home—everything will be properly documented and code-compliant. Trying to skip permits might save money short-term, but it creates problems later when inspectors find unpermitted work.
Absolutely. We design around mature trees and existing landscaping whenever possible. Good trees add value and shade—no reason to remove them unless they’re actually in the way or unhealthy.
The key is planning the layout to work with what’s already there. Sometimes this means adjusting patio shapes or moving planned features a few feet. We use digital design technology so you can see exactly how everything fits together before we start.
Tree root systems extend well beyond the canopy, so we’re careful about excavation near established trees. Proper planning prevents damage to root systems that could kill trees months after construction finishes. We’d rather modify the design than risk losing a mature oak that took decades to grow.
Texas weather is tough on outdoor spaces, but proper construction and materials minimize maintenance headaches. Concrete patios need occasional cleaning and sealing every few years. Stone surfaces are more durable but cost more upfront.
Pergolas and covered structures should be inspected annually for loose fasteners or weather damage. We use materials rated for Texas heat and humidity, but everything outdoors needs some attention over time.
The biggest maintenance issue is drainage. Texas gets heavy rains that can cause problems if water doesn’t flow away from structures properly. We design proper drainage from the start, but keeping gutters clean and checking that drainage channels stay clear prevents most water-related problems.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship and stand behind every project. Structural work like pergolas and retaining walls carry longer warranties than decorative finishes, but everything gets covered for at least one year.
Material warranties vary by manufacturer—concrete sealers, outdoor appliances, and lighting fixtures all have different coverage periods. We help you understand what’s covered and for how long, plus we keep all warranty documentation organized.
Most issues that arise are minor adjustments or settling that we handle quickly at no charge. Major problems are rare when projects are designed and built properly from the start. We’ll connect you with recent Tarrant County customers who can tell you about their actual experience with our work and follow-up service.
