Outdoor Living Designed With Your Pool — Not After It

The pool is the centerpiece, but the deck, the shade, the kitchen, and the fire are where you actually live. We design them as one project so the elevations, materials, and sightlines work together from day one.

Patios & Decking

The surface that ties everything together.

Decking is the single biggest visual decision after the water itself. We pour and set everything in-house so the joints line up with the coping and the drainage actually works on Collin County clay.

  • Travertine pavers — silver, ivory, or walnut; cool underfoot in August, French-pattern or running bond. Our most-requested surface in Prosper and Celina.
  • Stamped & stained concrete — wood-plank, ashlar slate, or seamless texture with integral color. The best value per square foot.
  • Flagstone — Oklahoma or Leuders, hand-selected and mortar-set for the organic look on acreage lots in Anna and Blue Ridge.
  • Porcelain pavers — large-format 24×48 for ultra-modern builds; zero absorption, zero fading.

Pergolas & Arbors

Western red cedar or steel-frame structures, freestanding or attached, engineered for North Texas wind load. Add a ceiling fan, string lights, or a louvered roof you can close when the August sun is straight overhead.

Outdoor Kitchens

CMU-and-stone islands with a built-in grill, side burner, sink, fridge, and storage — or go all the way with a pizza oven, kegerator, and bar seating that backs up to a swim-up bar in the pool. We run gas, water, and electric during the pool rough-in so nothing gets trenched twice.

Fire Pits & Fireplaces

Gas fire pits with a Leuders cap for feet-up seating, copper fire bowls on the pool's raised wall, or a full masonry fireplace with a hearth and TV niche. All plumbed, valved, and tied into your pool automation.

Landscape & Lighting

Planting beds that soften the hardscape, steel edging, drip irrigation, and low-voltage LED that makes the whole yard glow after dark — on the same app as your pool lights.

Recent Outdoor Living

Kitchens, fire, and shade we've built in North Collin County.

One contract. One backyard.

Adding outdoor living to a pool project — or building it around a pool you already have — keeps the design cohesive and the schedule sane. Let's draw the whole thing at once.
