Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Want to Know

From design to build day — here are the answers to the most common questions from homeowners planning a luxury outdoor project in Austin and the Texas Hill Country.

What does your design and build process look like from start to finish?+
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.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?+
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.
Will I have a dedicated project manager throughout my build?+
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.
What types of pools do you build?+
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.
What is the investment range for a Resort Backyards project?+
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.
How long does a typical project take from design to completion?+
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.
What design style do you specialize in?+
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.
What types of pergolas and outdoor structures do you build?+
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.
Our process

From first site walk to finished resort.

The goal is simple: remove guesswork early, protect the design intent, and make the finished outdoor space look like it belonged to the home from day one.

01

Site Walk

We meet on site, listen to your goals, study the home, and identify the best opportunities for pool, kitchen, shade, drainage, and flow.

02

Design Direction

You get a clear concept with material direction, layout logic, inspiration, and a 3D design path before construction decisions stack up.

03

Build Plan

Scope, allowances, trade sequencing, engineering needs, and project realities are organized before crews arrive.

04

Resort Finish

We manage the work with builder-level standards so the finished backyard feels cohesive, durable, and ready to host.

Social proof that feels current.

★★★★★

We had an extensive remodel of the back of our home and a double decker porch with landscaping. The project was completed on time considering the additional special features we selected. Their sub contractors were great and very talented.

I have worked with Scooter at Treo homes on and off for 15 years. He always is so meticulous in the work that his crew does. I love their recommendations. They have completely remodeled one home and are about to do another! I highly recommend them.
