Beyond the water

The pool is
half the backyard.

In Houston you use a pool maybe six months a year. You use shade, a grill and a fire pit for ten. Building them together means the trenches get dug once and the deck never gets cut open twice.

Scope

What we build out here.


Outdoor kitchens

Built-in grills, side burners, refrigeration, sinks and bar seating. Masonry structure with stone or stucco veneer — not a prefab cart in a frame. $8K–$45K.

Pergolas & cabanas

Cedar, powder-coated aluminum or louvered systems that actually shed rain. Footed properly so a Gulf storm doesn't take it.

Fire features

Gas fire pits, fire bowls on pool walls, and full masonry fireplaces. Gas run from the meter during pool plumbing.

Decking

Spray texture, broom finish, travertine, porcelain paver or flagstone. Sloped away from the house, drained to daylight.

Landscape & lighting

Beds, sod, irrigation repair after excavation, and low-voltage lighting on the same automation as the pool.

Fencing & screening

Code-compliant pool barriers, self-closing gates, and privacy screening for the equipment pad.

FAQ

Outdoor living questions


Should I build the outdoor kitchen at the same time as the pool?

If the budget allows, yes. The gas, water, electrical and drainage all run through the same trenches. Adding a kitchen two years later means cutting your new decking to get utilities to it — that alone is usually $4,000 to $8,000 of avoidable work.

What does an outdoor kitchen cost in Katy?

A basic grill island with counter space runs $8,000 to $15,000. A full setup with a built-in grill, side burner, refrigerator, sink and stone veneer generally lands between $22,000 and $45,000.

Do I need a permit for a pergola or covered patio?

Usually yes for anything with a roof structure or footings, and your HOA's ACC will want drawings too. We submit both.

One crew, one schedule, one contract.

Pool, deck, kitchen and shade designed together and built in the right order.
