Your backyard probably feels like wasted square footage right now. Too hot in summer. No shade. Nowhere to sit that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. You’re paying property taxes on space you barely use.
A backyard remodel changes that. You get covered areas that block the Texas sun without killing the breeze. Outdoor kitchens that make entertaining easy instead of stressful. Pergolas and patios designed to handle the heat, the storms, and the wear that comes with North Texas weather.
This isn’t about making your yard look nice for photos. It’s about adding functional living space that your family will use most of the year. Space that increases your property value by $25,000 to $50,000 and makes your home more attractive when it’s time to sell. You’re not decorating—you’re investing in how you live.
We’ve been remodeling backyards in Arlington Heights and across Tarrant County for over 30 years. That’s long enough to know which materials hold up in Texas heat and which ones don’t. Long enough to know every Arlington building inspector by name and what they’re looking for before they show up.
You’re not getting a crew that learned the business last year. You’re working with licensed professionals who pull the right permits, carry $1 million in liability coverage, and know how to navigate city codes without slowing your project down.
We handle everything—design, permits, inspections, daily cleanup. One point of contact. One timeline. One fixed price with no surprise charges halfway through. That’s how backyard renovations should work in Arlington Heights, TX.
You call us, and we schedule a consultation at your home. We walk your backyard, listen to what you want, and ask questions about how you actually plan to use the space. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a conversation about what’s realistic for your property and budget.
Next, we create a digital design so you can see what your backyard makeover will look like before we break ground. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting. We also provide a fixed-price estimate that covers everything—materials, labor, permits, inspections. No hidden fees.
Once you approve the design, we handle the permits and schedule the work. Our crews show up on time, clean up daily, and keep you updated as the project moves forward. We coordinate every trade—concrete, tile, carpentry, electrical—so you’re not juggling phone calls or wondering who’s responsible for what.
When we’re done, we walk the finished project with you and make sure everything meets your expectations. Then we schedule the final city inspection, and you’re ready to start using your new outdoor living space.

Covered patios are the most requested upgrade in Arlington Heights because they extend your outdoor season. You get shade, weather protection, and a space that stays cooler even when it’s 95 degrees outside. We build them with materials that won’t warp, fade, or need constant maintenance.
Pergolas add structure and style while still letting airflow through. They’re ideal if you want some shade without blocking all the light. We can integrate lighting, fans, and even retractable covers depending on how you want to use the space.
Outdoor kitchens turn your backyard into an entertaining hub. Built-in grills, countertops, storage—everything designed to handle Texas weather and heavy use. You’re not running back and forth to the house every time you need a plate or a drink.
Fire pits and seating areas create gathering spots that work in cooler months. Decorative concrete, natural stone, custom tile—we match materials to your home’s style and your budget. Every backyard design we build in Arlington Heights, TX is specific to how you live and what your property can support.
Most backyard remodels in Arlington Heights run between $15,000 and $75,000 depending on size, materials, and what you’re building. A basic covered patio with concrete starts around $15,000. Add an outdoor kitchen, custom tile, or a pergola, and you’re looking at $40,000 to $60,000.
We give you a fixed-price estimate upfront that includes everything—design, materials, labor, permits, and inspections. No change orders unless you change the scope. No surprise fees when the project’s halfway done.
If budget’s tight, we can phase the work. Start with the patio and add the outdoor kitchen next year. You’re not locked into doing everything at once, and we’ll design it so each phase makes sense on its own.
Yes, most backyard projects in Arlington Heights require permits—especially if you’re adding a covered structure, running electrical, or pouring a concrete slab. The city wants to make sure everything’s built to code and won’t cause drainage problems for your neighbors.
We handle all the permits and inspections for you. We know what Arlington’s building department requires, and we submit everything before work starts. You don’t have to call the city, stand in line, or figure out what forms to fill out.
Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it’ll cost you later. When you sell your home, unpermitted work shows up in inspections and can kill deals or force you to tear things out. We do it right the first time so you don’t have problems down the road.
Most backyard remodels take three to six weeks from permit approval to final inspection. Simple projects like a concrete patio or pergola can be done in two to three weeks. Larger projects with outdoor kitchens, custom tile, and multiple structures take closer to six weeks.
Permitting adds time upfront—usually one to two weeks depending on how busy the city is. We submit everything and keep the process moving, but we can’t control how fast Arlington processes applications.
Weather can delay outdoor work, especially if we’re pouring concrete or installing tile. We don’t rush through steps that need dry conditions because cutting corners creates problems later. We give you a realistic timeline at the start and update you if anything changes.
Concrete is the most durable option for patios and walkways in Arlington Heights. It handles heat, doesn’t shift like pavers, and can be finished in ways that look high-end without the maintenance. Decorative concrete and stamped finishes give you style without sacrificing durability.
For covered structures, we use treated lumber and composite materials that resist warping and fading. Metal roofing works well for patio covers because it reflects heat and lasts decades. We avoid materials that require constant sealing or repainting in Texas sun.
Tile and natural stone are great for outdoor kitchens and accent areas, but they need to be installed correctly to handle temperature swings. We use the right substrates and sealers so you’re not dealing with cracked grout or loose tiles two years later.
Yes. Outdoor living improvements typically add $25,000 to $50,000 to your home’s value in Arlington Heights, especially if you’re adding functional space like a covered patio or outdoor kitchen. Buyers in North Texas expect usable outdoor areas, and homes with finished backyards sell faster than ones without.
The return depends on how well the design fits your neighborhood and property. Over-improving for your area won’t get you the money back. Under-improving leaves value on the table. We help you find the balance based on comparable homes in Arlington Heights.
Even if you’re not selling soon, a backyard makeover improves how you live now. You get more usable space, better entertaining options, and a yard that doesn’t feel like a project you’ve been putting off. The value shows up in your daily life, not just at closing.
Everything. Design, materials, labor, permits, inspections, and daily cleanup. You get one price that covers the entire project from start to finish. No hourly rates. No cost-plus pricing. No change orders unless you change what you want built.
We break down the estimate so you can see where the money goes—how much for concrete, how much for the pergola, how much for electrical. If something doesn’t fit your budget, we adjust the plan before we start. You’re not locked into anything until you approve the final number.
We also include project management, which means you have one person coordinating every trade and keeping the timeline on track. You’re not calling different contractors or wondering who’s responsible when something needs to be fixed. That’s our job, and it’s built into the price.
