Outdoor living done right means the kitchen gets used, the pergola gets shaded, and dinner parties migrate outside. Built to be lived in, not photographed.
Stone, steel, and timber that hold up to August heat and Hill Country thunderstorms. Specified for the soil and the climate, not for a Pinterest board.
Your outdoor kitchen connects to your planting, your hardscape, your irrigation. One crew designs the whole space, so nothing fights the rest of the yard.
The good news: it doesn't have to work this way. An outdoor kitchen built by one crew, with one set of standards, by a company that will still be in business in year ten, looks and works like an outdoor kitchen should. We've built them that way since 1998.
We build outdoor kitchens, pergolas, shade structures, fire features, and custom decks for Austin and Hill Country homeowners who want their backyard to function like a room, not look like a showroom. Every project is designed around your property's slope, sun pattern, and existing trees. Built by our own crew. Connected to your hardscape, your planting, and your irrigation. Maintained by the same people once it's done. That's the whole offer. One company. One crew. One decade of weekends.
Custom limestone, granite, or steel surrounds. Built-in grills, smokers, side burners, refrigeration, and storage. Gas, electric, and water lines run by our in-house crew.
Hand-built timber pergolas, steel shade structures, and custom cabanas. Sized to your property and the Texas afternoon sun, not to a catalog.
Custom fire pits, fireplaces, and fire tables in stone, steel, or hybrid construction. Permit-compliant, gas-line ready, designed for year-round use.
Hardwood, composite, and hybrid decks integrated into the surrounding landscape. Drainage and slope engineered for the site, not assumed.
Low-voltage architectural lighting installed during construction, not added on later. Designed by zone so the patio, the pergola, and the planting each get the right wash.
Engineered shade solutions for properties where a permanent pergola isn't the right call. Custom-tensioned, weather-rated, and serviceable.
We specify Hill Country-native limestone, locally-milled timber, and weather-rated steel for outdoor living builds. We don't ship Phoenix-style desert stone into a Westlake backyard, and we don't put pine where cedar belongs. The materials should look like they grew where they sit. That takes a builder who knows Central Texas suppliers and a designer who's been working with them for nearly three decades.
"Paul built our outdoor kitchen ten years ago. We use it every weekend from March to November. Still tight. Still beautiful. Still under warranty as far as Paul's concerned — he came out last spring to re-seal the limestone himself."

"The pergola was the centerpiece of the whole backyard. Cedar, hand-built, brass hardware. Six summers later it looks better than it did the day they finished."

Most of our outdoor kitchen builds run $50,000 to $150,000+, including the surround, appliances, gas/electric/water connections, and integrated planting or hardscape. Full outdoor living suites can exceed $200,000.
Yes. We manage city permits and coordinate HOA approvals on every project that requires them.
We typically sequence pergola construction before mature plantings, so the crew has room to work and the irrigation can be tuned around the final structure. We'll map the sequence on your specific project.
Hill Country-native limestone, locally-milled cedar and ipe, weather-rated steel, and quartzite or granite for countertops. Specific selections depend on your design brief.
Yes. Our maintenance division can re-seal stone, service appliances, tune irrigation, and inspect for wear annually. Most of our outdoor living clients move onto a maintenance plan after install.
If you've already got the architect's drawings, send them over. If you don't, we'll help you decide whether you need them. Either way, the build will look like the plan.
