Whether you’re looking to add elegance, increase shade, or improve the usability of your outdoor space, our custom offerings are designed to meet your needs. Here’s a closer look at each of our carefully crafted structures:
Pergolas
A custom pergola is the perfect way to introduce both style and partial shade to your backyard. Whether you prefer the natural look of cedar, the durability of treated wood, or the sleek finish of metal, our pergolas are tailored to suit your vision. These open-frame structures are perfect for poolside seating areas, offering a breezy and comfortable atmosphere while allowing sunlight to filter through. Pergolas also serve as a perfect complement to outdoor kitchens, dining areas, or garden paths, creating defined spaces in your outdoor retreat.
Arbors
An arbor adds instant charm and character to your landscape. Ideal for framing walkways, creating intimate garden nooks, or as a focal point for climbing plants and flowers, our custom arbors bring depth and sophistication to any outdoor space. Whether designed to be a decorative gateway or a structural feature that enhances your landscape, an arbor creates a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the beauty of your surroundings.
Poolside Cabanas
For those looking to indulge in a luxurious outdoor retreat, our custom poolside cabanas provide the perfect solution. Designed for full shade, privacy, and comfort, these structures create an elegant escape where you can relax and unwind. Whether you need a place to change clothes, an area for lounging, or extra storage for pool equipment and outdoor furniture, our cabanas offer versatility while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your pool area.
Gazebos
Add an elegant centerpiece to your backyard with a custom gazebo. These timeless structures are perfect for enjoying panoramic views of your pool and surrounding landscape. Whether you’re hosting a small dinner party, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or providing a sheltered spot for family gatherings, a gazebo offers both beauty and function. Our designs allow you to select from a variety of materials and styles to match your home's architecture, ensuring a seamless integration with your overall outdoor aesthetic.
Outdoor Kitchens and Bars
Elevate your backyard entertaining with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen or bar beneath a stylish structure. Whether you envision a gourmet cooking space with state-of-the-art appliances or a cozy bar area to serve drinks, our outdoor kitchens are designed for functionality and beauty. Integrated into a custom-built pergola, pavilion, or gazebo, your outdoor kitchen becomes an inviting hub for friends and family to gather, cook, dine, and enjoy the outdoors in comfort.
Pavillions
For larger gatherings or year-round outdoor enjoyment, our custom pavilions provide full protection from the elements. These spacious structures are perfect for hosting events, dining al fresco, or engaging in recreational activities without worrying about sun, rain, or wind. Designed to blend seamlessly into your landscape, our pavilions can be customized to accommodate everything from large dining tables and comfortable seating to outdoor entertainment systems, making them the ultimate outdoor sanctuary.
Make Your Arbor or Structure Unique
Custom Materials
The materials you choose for your structure can make a significant impact on its uniqueness. Opt for rich, natural woods like cedar or redwood for a timeless, organic look, or explore modern metals like wrought iron or aluminum for an industrial feel. You can also combine materials for contrast and texture—such as a cedar wood frame with a stone base.
Personalized Shape & Design
A traditional rectangular arbor might be perfect for some, but think outside the box with curved edges, asymmetrical designs, or even multi-level structures that add depth and dimension to your outdoor space. Choose features like integrated seating, built-in planters, or ornamental details to further personalize the look.
Lighting Elements
Lighting can transform your outdoor structure into an enchanting space, even after the sun sets. String lights, lanterns, or built-in LED fixtures can add warmth and ambiance. For a unique touch, install solar-powered lighting along the beams of your pergola or gazebo, or use colored lighting to create a playful atmosphere in your outdoor lounge area.

Common Questions About
Custom Waterfalls

In North Texas, where the climate can be hot and dry in the summer and occasionally experience heavy rains, it’s important to choose materials that can withstand these conditions. Popular materials include:
Cedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects, cedar is ideal for the hot and dry climate, giving a beautiful, rustic look.
Redwood: Like cedar, redwood is durable, resistant to decay, and offers a rich color.
Treated Wood: Pressure-treated lumber is a cost-effective option that’s treated to resist moisture and insects.
Metal (Wrought Iron or Aluminum): Metal structures are highly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, offering a more modern, industrial look.
Vinyl or Composite Materials: For low-maintenance options, consider vinyl or composite materials that resist fading, cracking, and require minimal upkeep.

Choosing the right style depends on the aesthetic of your home, the function of the structure, and your personal preferences. Popular styles for North Texas backyards include:
Traditional: Arbors with classic latticework and natural wood finishes blend well with rustic or traditional homes.
Modern/Contemporary: Sleek lines, metal materials, and minimalist designs fit perfectly with modern homes and contemporary landscapes.
Rustic/Farmhouse: A natural, weathered wood look works beautifully in farm-style or country-inspired yards.
