Your backyard isn’t just grass you mow every weekend. It’s untapped square footage that could be your favorite room in the house.
When we’re done, you’ll have a space that actually gets used. Weekend barbecues won’t feel cramped on that tiny deck anymore. Your kids will have room to play while you relax in a spot designed for adults. And when it’s time to sell, buyers will see the kind of outdoor living that makes Alexandra Meadows homes stand out.
The best part? You’ll recover 95% of your investment according to the National Association of Realtors. That’s not just an improvement—that’s smart money.
We’ve been transforming Tarrant County backyards since the 1990s. We’ve seen every challenge these Texas properties can throw at us—from clay soil drainage issues to HOA requirements that change by neighborhood.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience. It’s how we handle your project from start to finish. One point of contact, clear timelines, and licensed professionals who know Alexandra Meadows building codes inside and out.
We use digital design technology so you see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground. No surprises, no “that’s not what I pictured” moments. Just fixed-price estimates that mean what they say.
First, we’ll walk your property and listen to how you actually want to use the space. Not what Pinterest says you should want—what works for your family and your lot.
Then we create a digital design that shows you exactly what we’re building. You’ll see materials, layout, even how the lighting looks at different times of day. Changes are easy to make on screen, expensive to make with concrete.
Once you approve the design, we handle permits, scheduling, and coordination. Our licensed team manages everything from excavation to final cleanup. You get progress updates, but you don’t have to babysit contractors or chase down subcontractors who didn’t show up.

Every Alexandra Meadows backyard remodel we complete includes proper drainage planning—crucial for our clay soil and occasional heavy rains. We’re not just laying pavers and hoping for the best.
Your outdoor living space can include custom patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas, and integrated lighting. All materials are chosen for Texas weather extremes, from 100-degree summers to occasional ice storms. We source locally when possible to keep costs reasonable and ensure quick replacement if needed.
Smart features like automated lighting and irrigation systems aren’t just trendy—they make sense for busy homeowners who want to enjoy their space, not maintain it constantly. These systems integrate with your home’s existing electrical and can be controlled from your phone.
Costs depend on scope, materials, and features you choose. A basic patio with seating area starts around $15,000, while a complete outdoor living space with kitchen and fire features can run $50,000 or more.
What matters most is getting a realistic estimate upfront. We provide detailed, fixed-price proposals that break down every aspect of your project. No “allowances” that turn into surprises later. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
The good news is outdoor improvements typically recover 90-95% of their cost when you sell. In Alexandra Meadows’ strong market, a well-designed backyard often becomes a major selling point that helps homes move faster.
Most substantial backyard improvements require permits, especially anything involving electrical work, structures over a certain size, or significant grading changes. Fort Worth and Tarrant County have specific requirements that vary by neighborhood.
We handle all permit applications as part of our service. Our team knows local building codes and HOA requirements for Alexandra Meadows. We’ve worked with the city inspectors for years, so we know exactly what they’re looking for.
Skipping permits might seem like a shortcut, but it creates problems when you sell. Buyers’ inspectors will flag unpermitted work, and you could end up paying to tear out and rebuild improvements that weren’t done to code.
Timeline depends on project complexity and weather, but most Alexandra Meadows backyard remodels take 3-6 weeks from start to finish. Simple patio installations might be done in a week, while complete outdoor living spaces with kitchens and utilities take longer.
Weather delays are real in Texas—we can’t pour concrete in freezing temperatures or work safely during severe storms. We build weather buffers into our schedules and communicate any delays immediately.
The planning phase takes 2-3 weeks before construction starts. This includes design approval, permits, and material ordering. Rushing this phase always creates problems later, so we take time to get it right upfront.
Fall through early spring is ideal for major backyard construction in Texas. Temperatures are more comfortable for workers, and you’re less likely to hit extreme weather delays. Plus, you’ll be ready to enjoy your new space when entertaining season starts.
Summer projects are possible but require more careful scheduling around heat. We start early in the morning and take appropriate breaks. Some materials like concrete perform differently in extreme heat, so timing matters for quality results.
Spring is our busiest season because everyone wants to be ready for summer. If you’re planning a spring project, book by January to ensure availability. Fall bookings often get better scheduling flexibility and sometimes better pricing.
Absolutely. Most Alexandra Meadows properties have established landscaping or existing structures that need to be incorporated into new designs. We specialize in working around mature trees, existing pools, and utility lines.
Our design process starts with a detailed site survey to identify opportunities and constraints. That century plant in your corner? We can design around it. Existing deck that’s structurally sound? We can often integrate it into the new design to save money.
The key is realistic planning. Some existing features enhance your new design, others might need to go. We’ll give you honest advice about what’s worth keeping and what’s holding back your vision for the space.
We provide guidance on maintaining your new outdoor living space and can recommend trusted local professionals for ongoing care. Most of our installations are designed for minimal maintenance, but every outdoor space needs some attention.
Sealed concrete surfaces need resealing every few years. Outdoor kitchen appliances need seasonal preparation. Irrigation systems need winterization. We’ll walk you through everything during your final walkthrough and provide written care instructions.
For major repairs or additions down the road, we warranty our work and love coming back to see how clients are enjoying their spaces. Many customers become repeat clients when they’re ready to add features or tackle other areas of their property.
