Drag the handle on any photo to see the same yard before and after. These are real North Texas backyards, shot from the same spot.

Before After

Empty lawn to pool, deck and covered living

Pool and spa · Travertine decking · Fire feature · Covered living area

Twelve More, Before and After

Covers, pergolas, screen rooms and one sunroom our crews built across North Texas. Each photo pairs the same spot before work started and after it was finished. Want to see your own patio that way first? Try the design tool.
