Our process starts with a complimentary design consultation at your home. We walk your property, understand how you live and entertain, and listen. From there we develop a full concept design with 3D renderings so you can see exactly what your backyard will look like before a single shovel breaks ground. Once you approve the design, we handle everything: permitting, construction, landscaping, and final walkthrough. Most clients describe the experience as surprisingly smooth.

Yes. We manage the entire permitting process with your local municipality. For HOA communities, we prepare the documentation packages your HOA requires and work closely with you on the submission and approval timeline. We've worked extensively across Central Texas communities and understand local requirements well.

Absolutely. Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager who serves as your single point of contact. They coordinate all trades, communicate weekly updates, and are available to answer questions throughout the build. You'll always know where your project stands.

Our signature aesthetic is Texas Hill Country luxury — warm modern architecture using natural limestone, charcoal aluminum, weathered wood, and clean architectural lines. We design for the way Texas families actually live: outdoor kitchens built for real entertaining, pools designed for morning laps and weekend gatherings, and pergolas that feel like extensions of your home rather than afterthoughts.

We source premium materials that perform beautifully in the Texas climate: natural limestone coping and decking, powder-coated charcoal aluminum for structural elements, commercial-grade outdoor kitchen appliances, IPE and composite hardwood, and integrated LED lighting systems. We don't cut corners on materials — because your backyard should look as good in year ten as it did on day one.

Yes — fire features are one of our most popular additions. We design and build custom fire pits, fire bowls, fire walls, and linear gas fire features that integrate seamlessly into the overall landscape. Whether you want a dramatic statement piece or a subtle ambiance element near the pool edge, we design fire to complement your architecture.

We specialize in custom gunite pools of all sizes and configurations — from sleek lap pools to resort-style pools with integrated spa, beach entry, tanning ledge, grottos, and water features. We also design zero-edge (infinity) pools and pools with architectural water walls. Every pool is custom-engineered for your specific lot, soil conditions, and lifestyle vision.

We offer a full range of interior finishes including pebble aggregate, quartz, and glass tile. Our most popular finishes for the Hill Country aesthetic are charcoal and slate-toned pebble finishes that create deep, sophisticated water color without the oversaturated "resort blue" look. We'll help you select the finish that complements your home's architecture and stone palette.

Yes. Every pool we build is equipped with automation-ready infrastructure. We integrate with platforms like Pentair IntelliTouch, Hayward OmniLogic, and Jandy iAquaLink — allowing you to control pool temperature, jets, lighting, and water features from your phone. Smart automation is standard in our builds, not an upgrade.

Our projects typically range from $150,000 to $600,000+ depending on scope — pool size, structural elements, outdoor kitchen specifications, and site conditions. During your design consultation, we'll discuss your vision and give you a clear investment range before any work begins.

Most projects take 4–8 months from signed contract to final walkthrough, depending on scope and permitting timelines. The design phase typically takes 3–6 weeks. We'll give you a project-specific timeline during the proposal stage. We do not rush builds — quality and attention to detail are non-negotiable at this level of investment.

We partner with specialized home improvement lenders who offer competitive financing options for luxury outdoor projects. We'll connect you with our preferred lending partners during the design consultation so you can explore all your options with no pressure.

We design and build a full range of structures: motorized louvered pergolas, insulated solid-roof patio covers, open-beam architectural pergolas, cabanas, and full outdoor pavilions with integrated kitchens, lighting, fans, and entertainment systems. Everything is engineered to meet local building codes and designed to complement your home's architecture.

A motorized louvered pergola features adjustable aluminum louvers that open and close at the touch of a button — giving you full sun, partial shade, or complete rain protection on demand. For Texas Hill Country living, it's one of the highest ROI investments we offer. It effectively extends your usable outdoor season by months and transforms your patio into a true four-season living space.

Yes — full integration is our specialty. Our outdoor living structures are designed holistically: built-in grills and smokers, refrigeration, sink and ice maker, TV mounting and weatherproof audio systems, landscape lighting, ceiling fans, outdoor heaters, and electrical outlets. When you hire Resort Backyards, you're getting a fully integrated outdoor living environment designed and built as one cohesive system.
