Outdoor Living Solutions

Just as the kitchen has always been the heart of the home, the outdoor kitchen is quickly becoming the heart of the backyard outdoor living space. According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA), more than 75 percent of all U.S. households currently include an outdoor grill or smoker. However, that’s only part of the story. More and more homeowners are converting patio grilling areas into fully functioning outdoor kitchens that become the central gathering place for family and guests. We offer free designs of outdoor kitchen living spaces, turn your back patio into your friend's and families' favorite place to visit.

Flagstone Outdoor Solutions

Our signature item is the flagstone patio. Whether it is built in unison with a deck, pergola or another one of the custom outdoor structures we build for homeowners here in the Austin and surrounding areas, the added essence of flagstone makes the entire project breathtaking. Texas is hill country which yields varying grades and steep drop offs which often include natural stone, but natural stone used as a building material is common because of its natural beauty and the way it complements the natural surroundings and backdrops of your property. Flagstone is quarried from the ground and therefore will not yield a completely even surface. Flagstone patios are set on either concrete or mortar beds. Our flagstone patios are sealed with a “matte” finish penetrating sealer which are not visible to the naked eye that they are being absorbed. This sealer will last from 6-12 months. After the initial sealing, the patio may be resealed again at your discretion. If you are placing a BBQ pit or grill atop your flagstone patio be careful not to let grease or drippings on the surface of the flagstone as they can stain the stone and become permanent.

Add style, elegance and shade to your patio with custom built options.

Pergolas are a sophisticated way to add a touch of shade to a sunny backyard. Crossbeams and an open lattice often define the pergola, which is frequently covered with climbing flowering plants or vines, further deepening the degree of shade. At Austin Yard Builder, our pergolas are crafted using the best Western red cedar available and are custom designed to match your aesthetic preferences. We are dedicated to helping you cultivate your dream backyard atmosphere.

FAQ

Every outdoor living project we complete comes with a one-year workmanship warranty, which is a guarantee that the installation will meet our internal standards. In some cases, product lines may come with an additional manufacturer’s warranty, which warrants against defects in the materials themselves. These manufacturer’s warranties vary in length and can be discussed with your consultant.

We handle the gathering of all required permits, scheduling of any inspections and the entire HOA application process as well. Our goal is to make this a much simpler process than you anticipate.

We have a variety of ways that this can happen. Often times, homeowners are able to select materials used on the job from our iPads but sometimes more is required. We will meet you at a stone yard, deliver samples to your house or whatever else is necessary for you to make your decisions.

That is a difficult question to answer. Some of our projects can be completed within a week of the start date. Most of our projects can be completed within a few weeks but it can take longer than that as well. Things like inspections/permitting/HOA and design changes can slow us down during the project. Rest assured, you will be given a projected timeline and then communicated thoroughly the whole way through.
