You get to pick the style, materials, and features that suit your taste.
Fireplaces are another popular choice. They provide warmth and a focal point for your outdoor space. Whether you want a sleek, modern look or something more rustic, we can build it. These fireplaces make chilly nights more enjoyable, letting you and your family spend more time outside.
We can even add some functionality to it all for parties, events, and more.

Shade Options & Solutions For Your Backyard
In Plano, the summer heat can be unbearable without proper shade. Arbors provide a welcoming spot for relaxation in your backyard. They can also be a beautiful focal point. Pergolas have sturdy columns and an open framework, making them ideal for creating shade on decks or porches. With time, they may support lush growth like vines or flowers, forming a natural canopy. Other shade solutions include patio covers, pavilions, trellises, awnings, and umbrellas. Working with a company experienced in integrating these options is critical. There’s lots of options when it comes to getting shade for your outdoor living:
- Patio covers
- Pavilions
-Trellises
-Awnings
-Umbrellas

Patios & Decks For Your Backyard
Transforming your home’s patio and deck is one of the biggest steps in creating your dream outdoor living area. A well-designed patio serves as a seamless extension of your home, acting as the transition from inside to outside. We can use textured concrete or natural stone to create patios that are not just functional but visually pleasing.
For example, using flagstone or limestone can add a timeless look to your patio. Concrete can be textured and colored in many ways, giving you lots of design options. Mixing stone with concrete is another way to create a unique look.
Decks are another great option for your outdoor space. They create a personal outdoor sanctuary where you can sunbathe, read, or enjoy a gentle breeze. Decks are great for family gatherings and can even increase your home's market value. In our experience, the right deck can also complement a pool perfectly, that’s why we’re also one of the best pool builders in Plano, TX. At The Complete Backyard, our decks provide a seamless blend of function and beauty, enhancing your outdoor experience. They provide a space for relaxation throughout the year. Whether you want a simple, classic design or something more elaborate, we can help you bring that vision to life.

Landscape Lighting Additions
Lighting is key to making your outdoor area shine after dark. It adds coziness and extra security. Path lights make sure you can navigate safely at night. We’ve seen how the right lighting can dramatically change an outdoor space. It highlights the beauty of patios and water features, creating a magical atmosphere. Professional outdoor living companies can design a lighting plan tailored to your vision and needs.
Not to mention, our designers are experts working with lighting. Outdoor spaces like patios and water features are transformed with the right lighting solutions.
