How Our Process Works

Building an outdoor living space involves planning, material choices, and construction phases that homeowners want to understand before committing. Here are answers to the most common questions about these projects.

How long does it take to build a patio or outdoor living space?
Most projects take two to four weeks depending on size, features, and weather. Concrete curing time and custom carpentry work are factored into the timeline.
Can you work with an existing patio or deck?
Yes, the crew can expand, repair, or integrate new features with existing structures. An onsite evaluation will determine what's feasible based on your current layout and condition.
What materials hold up best in Shreveport's climate?
Pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, concrete, and steel framing are all popular choices. Each material is selected based on durability, maintenance needs, and your design preferences.
Can you include an outdoor kitchen or grill station?
Absolutely. Outdoor kitchens are a popular feature and can include countertops, storage, lighting, and gas line installation. The design is customized to fit your cooking and entertaining style.
Will my yard be torn up during construction?
The crew takes care to protect landscaping and minimize disruption. Site preparation is focused on the build area, and cleanup is thorough at the end of each day.
