Your backyard should work as hard as you do. Instead of staring at concrete and dead grass, imagine stepping outside to your own private retreat – complete with shade that actually keeps you cool, entertainment spaces that make hosting effortless, and materials tough enough to handle whatever Texas weather throws at them.
No more avoiding your backyard during the hottest months. No more canceling gatherings because there’s nowhere comfortable to sit. When we’re done, you’ll have an outdoor living space that extends your home’s square footage and becomes the place your family gravitates toward every evening.
The best part? You’ll see this investment pay off immediately in daily enjoyment and long-term property value. Quality backyard remodeling can deliver up to 95% return on investment while giving you a space that actually enhances your lifestyle instead of just sitting there.
We’ve been transforming Tarrant County backyards since before most of our competitors were even in business. We’ve seen every challenge Texas weather can dish out – from hail damage to scorching summers that crack inferior materials.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience. It’s our approach. You get fixed-price estimates with zero hidden fees, complete project management with a single point of contact, and state-of-the-art digital design technology so you can see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground.
We’re licensed professionals who understand Diamond Hill-Jarvis building codes inside and out. More importantly, we understand what works in this climate and what doesn’t. That knowledge saves you money, time, and the headache of dealing with repairs down the road.
We start with a consultation at your property where we listen to what you actually want – not what we think you should want. Our team evaluates your space, discusses your lifestyle needs, and identifies any drainage or structural considerations that could affect the project.
Next comes digital design. Using advanced visualization technology, we create detailed renderings of your future backyard so you can see exactly how everything will look and function together. No guesswork, no unpleasant surprises when the project’s finished.
Once you approve the design, we provide a fixed-price estimate that covers everything – materials, labor, permits, cleanup. You’ll know your total investment upfront, with a clear timeline for completion. Then our licensed crew gets to work, with daily communication so you always know what’s happening and what’s coming next.

Every backyard remodel we complete includes materials specifically chosen to handle North Texas conditions. We use composite decking and weather-resistant finishes that won’t warp, fade, or require constant maintenance. Your patio covers and pergolas are engineered to provide real shade relief during those brutal summer months.
Diamond Hill-Jarvis homeowners face unique challenges with the clay soil and drainage issues common in this area. We address these factors upfront with proper grading and drainage solutions that prevent water problems before they start. Our concrete work includes expansion joints and reinforcement designed for the soil movement typical in Tarrant County.
Your outdoor kitchen installations feature appliances rated for outdoor use and storage solutions that protect equipment from weather. Fire features include proper ventilation and safety measures required by local codes. Every electrical component meets current safety standards with GFCI protection and weatherproof housing designed for Texas conditions.
Most complete backyard remodels in our area run between $20,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope and materials you choose. A basic patio with shade structure typically starts around $15,000, while full outdoor living spaces with kitchens and fire features can reach $50,000 or more.
The key is understanding what you’re actually getting for your investment. We provide fixed-price estimates that include everything – materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. No surprise charges, no change orders unless you specifically request modifications.
Industry guidelines suggest budgeting 5-10% of your home’s value for significant outdoor improvements. In Diamond Hill-Jarvis, where median home values are around $180,000, most homeowners find their sweet spot between $18,000 and $35,000 for transformative backyard upgrades that deliver real lifestyle benefits.
Composite decking is your best choice for Texas conditions because it won’t warp, crack, or require annual staining like traditional wood. We use materials with UV protection that resist fading even under intense summer sun. For patio surfaces, we recommend stamped concrete or natural stone that can handle temperature fluctuations without cracking.
Shade structures need to be engineered for wind loads common in North Texas. We use aluminum pergolas with proper anchoring systems rather than lightweight options that won’t survive storm season. All metal components receive powder coating for corrosion resistance in our humid climate.
For outdoor kitchens, stainless steel appliances and weatherproof cabinetry are non-negotiables. Cheap materials fail quickly in Texas heat and humidity, leaving you with expensive repairs. We only install components rated for year-round outdoor use with warranties that cover weather-related issues.
Most backyard remodels take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on the complexity of your project. Simple patio installations with basic shade structures can be completed in 1-2 weeks. More complex projects involving outdoor kitchens, extensive hardscaping, or multiple features typically require 3-4 weeks.
Weather can affect timelines, especially during concrete work which requires specific temperature and humidity conditions for proper curing. We build buffer time into our schedules for typical Texas weather delays. Our project managers provide weekly updates so you always know where things stand.
The permitting process in Diamond Hill-Jarvis usually takes 1-2 weeks before we can begin construction. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, ensuring everything meets local building codes without delays or complications on your end.
Yes, we handle all permitting and inspection requirements for your project. This includes structural permits for pergolas and shade structures, electrical permits for outdoor lighting and kitchen appliances, and any other approvals required by Tarrant County building codes.
Our team knows exactly what Diamond Hill-Jarvis inspectors look for and we ensure all work meets or exceeds local requirements. We schedule inspections at the appropriate project phases and handle any required corrections or adjustments. You don’t need to take time off work or coordinate with building officials.
The permit costs are included in your fixed-price estimate so there are no surprise fees. Most backyard remodels require 2-3 inspections during the process – rough-in inspection for electrical/plumbing, structural inspection for major installations, and final inspection before completion. We manage this entire process as part of our complete project management service.
Our estimates include everything needed to complete your project – materials, labor, permits, inspections, and cleanup. You’ll see line items for all major components so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no change orders unless you specifically request modifications.
Materials include all lumber, hardware, concrete, electrical components, plumbing fixtures, and finishing materials. Labor covers our licensed crew from start to finish, including any specialized trades like electrical or plumbing work. We also include debris removal and site cleanup so your property is left in pristine condition.
The only additional costs you might see are for upgrades you choose during the design process – premium materials, additional features, or scope changes you request. These are always discussed and approved before any work begins. Our goal is complete transparency so you can budget confidently from day one.
We schedule concrete work during optimal temperature conditions and use additives that ensure proper curing even in Texas heat. Our crew starts early during summer months to avoid working in peak temperatures that can compromise material performance. All installations follow manufacturer specifications for temperature and weather requirements.
Our materials are specifically chosen for North Texas conditions. Composite decking includes UV stabilizers and thermal expansion properties designed for extreme temperature swings. Metal components receive powder coating that resists corrosion from humidity and temperature fluctuations common in our area.
Quality control includes daily progress inspections and material checks to ensure everything meets our standards before moving to the next phase. We warranty all work against weather-related defects and use only materials with manufacturer warranties that cover extreme weather conditions. Your investment is protected against the challenges Texas weather presents.
