You bought your Hurst home for the outdoor lifestyle, but your backyard sits empty most of the year. That changes when you have shade structures that actually block the Texas sun, patios that don’t crack with our clay soil, and outdoor kitchens that make entertaining effortless.
Your neighbors will wonder how you’re grilling in July and hosting fire pit gatherings in January. The answer is smart design that works with Texas weather instead of against it.
When your backyard becomes a true extension of your home, you’ll use it 300+ days a year instead of just the few perfect weather days.
A Plus Home Remodel has completed over 400 projects right here in Tarrant County since the 1990s. We understand exactly what works in Hurst’s clay soil, how to handle HOA requirements, and which materials actually last in North Texas weather.
Every project comes with fixed-price estimates, digital design previews, and comprehensive warranties. We handle all permits and inspections, so you don’t have to navigate city requirements or worry about code compliance.
Local references are available from neighbors who’ve already transformed their outdoor spaces and are still happy years later.
Your consultation starts with measuring your space and understanding how you actually want to use your backyard. Do you need shade for summer entertaining? Covered areas for year-round grilling? Fire features for cooler evenings?
Next comes digital design using state-of-the-art technology that shows you exactly what the finished project will look like. You’ll see 360-degree views and can request changes before any construction begins.
Once you approve the design, we handle all permits and schedule work around your life. Daily cleanup means you’re not living in a construction zone, and regular updates keep you informed about progress and timeline.

Every backyard remodel includes foundation work designed specifically for Hurst’s expansive clay soil. This prevents the cracking and settling that destroy cheaper patio installations within a few years.
Shade structures use aluminum pergolas with adjustable louvers, giving you control over sun exposure throughout the day. Outdoor kitchens include proper electrical and plumbing connections, with options for pizza ovens, wine fridges, and weather-resistant storage.
Materials are selected for Texas durability – composite decking that doesn’t need annual maintenance, concrete that handles freeze-thaw cycles, and fixtures that resist fading in intense summer sun. The goal is creating spaces you’ll use comfortably from March through November.
Backyard remodeling costs in Hurst typically range from $15,000 for basic patio installations to $75,000+ for complete outdoor living spaces with kitchens and pergolas. Most homeowners invest 5-10% of their home’s value in outdoor improvements.
The biggest cost factors are size of the space, foundation requirements for our clay soil, and features like outdoor kitchens or fire pits. A standard covered patio with quality materials runs $25,000-$45,000, while adding an outdoor kitchen brings the total to $50,000-$80,000.
A Plus Home Remodel provides fixed-price estimates upfront, so you know exactly what you’ll pay before work begins. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners who prefer to spread costs over time.
Concrete with proper foundation work performs best in Hurst’s expansive clay soil. The key is installing adequate footings and using reinforcement that prevent cracking when the soil shifts with moisture changes.
Composite decking is another excellent option because it’s installed on elevated frames that aren’t affected by soil movement. Unlike wood decking, composite materials don’t warp, fade, or require annual staining in Texas heat.
Pavers can work but require extensive base preparation and proper drainage to prevent settling. Many homeowners choose concrete for main patio areas and add composite decking for elevated spaces or walkways.
Most backyard remodeling projects in Hurst take 3-6 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope and weather. Simple patio installations typically complete in 2-3 weeks, while comprehensive outdoor living spaces with kitchens and pergolas take 4-6 weeks.
The timeline includes permit approval, which A Plus Home Remodel handles with Tarrant County and your HOA if applicable. Weather delays can extend schedules during winter months, but summer and fall projects usually stay on track.
You’ll receive a detailed timeline during your consultation, with regular updates throughout construction. We coordinate deliveries and inspections to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Most backyard remodeling projects in Hurst require permits, especially for concrete work, electrical connections, and structures over certain sizes. The city also requires permits for outdoor kitchens with gas lines or permanent electrical installations.
A Plus Home Remodel handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections with city officials. This ensures your project meets current building codes and won’t cause issues when you sell your home or file insurance claims.
Permit costs are included in your project estimate upfront, and our experience with Hurst building requirements typically results in faster approval times than homeowners trying to navigate the process themselves.
Shade structures are essential for Texas outdoor living. Aluminum pergolas with adjustable louvers give you control over sun exposure and can include ceiling fans for air circulation during summer months.
Outdoor kitchens should include weather-resistant materials and proper ventilation. Stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and covered storage protect your investment from heat, humidity, and occasional storms.
Fire features extend your outdoor season into cooler months. Gas fire pits are safer and more convenient than wood-burning options, plus they don’t create smoke that bothers neighbors or triggers burn bans.
A Plus Home Remodel designs around existing features you want to keep, including mature trees, established gardens, and swimming pools. Our digital design process shows exactly how new structures will integrate with your current landscape.
Existing pools often become focal points for new patio designs, with shade structures positioned to provide comfort for swimmers and poolside entertaining. Established trees can be incorporated into pergola designs or used as natural shade elements.
We take care to protect existing landscaping during construction, using barriers and designated work areas to minimize damage. Any necessary plant relocation or replacement is discussed during the design phase and included in your project estimate.
