What we build
Outdoor Living Services
Six service categories cover every part of an outdoor living build — from foundational masonry up to the lighting that finishes a space at night. Each one is real, hand-laid work done by the same family that answers the phone. Designed and built across Cedar Creek Lake and East Texas.
Outdoor Kitchens & Grilling in Cedar Creek Lake, TX
An outdoor kitchen is where the gathering actually happens. We build custom outdoor kitchens, dedicated grilling areas, and traditional brick pizza ovens — the centerpieces of an East Texas backyard. Stone counters, real masonry surrounds, weatherproof storage, and the right hood for the climate. Made for cooking, not just looking.
- Custom outdoor kitchens
- Outdoor grilling areas
- Brick pizza ovens (wood-fired)
Masonry & Stonework Contractor in Mabank, TX
Masonry and stonework are the foundation of every outdoor build we do. From hand-laid stone walls and brick installation to block work, stucco, and repair of existing masonry, we shape the structure of an outdoor space first — then everything else lands on top. Twenty years of work along Cedar Creek Lake.
- Brick installation & repair
- Stone installation & repair
- Block work
- Stucco installation & repair
Custom Stone Fireplaces & Fire Pits in East Texas
Fire is the centerpiece of an East Texas outdoor space. We build full stone fireplaces and lower-profile firepits — masonry from foundation to chimney, sized for the space and the weather. Wood-burning or gas, sit-and-watch or cook-over, free-standing or built into a covered patio. The element that holds an evening together.
- Custom stone fireplaces (wood-burning or gas)
- Stone firepits (wood-burning or gas)
- Outdoor chimneys and chase work
Pergolas, Gazebos & Carports in Cedar Creek Lake, TX
Pergolas, gazebos, and carports — the structural pieces that make an outdoor space usable in any weather. We build them with the same masonry-first thinking that runs through the rest of our work: real posts on real footings, joinery that lasts, and finish details sized to the home, not a kit.
- Pergolas (open or covered)
- Gazebos
- Carports (attached or detached)
Retaining Walls & Hardscape in East Texas
Retaining walls and hardscape are the bones of a working outdoor space — they hold the slope, define the patio, and turn an awkward lot into a usable one. We build walls in real brick and stone with proper drainage, footings, and reinforcement. Lakefront grade changes are our daily problem.
- Brick and stone retaining walls
- Terraced wall systems for sloped lots
- Brick and stone landscaping (paths, borders, walkways)
- Drainage integration and engineered backfill
Outdoor LED Lighting in Cedar Creek Lake, TX
Outdoor lighting turns a finished space into one that works after dark — which, on Cedar Creek Lake, is most of the year. We design and install LED lighting layered through the masonry, pergola, kitchen, and landscape: warm light, dimmable circuits, fixtures that disappear. The room you built, lit the right way.
- Architectural uplighting (walls, columns, stonework)
- Path and step lighting
- Pergola and downlighting for outdoor kitchens
- Landscape and tree lighting
- Dimmable, zoned control (smart-home compatible)
Most projects combine more than one of these — a stone fireplace inside an outdoor kitchen, a pergola over the patio with lighting layered through it, a retaining wall doing double duty as patio seating. We design across the full set.
Tell us what you're picturing.
A design consultation is the first real step. We come out, walk the space, and listen — and the conversation usually opens up the right combination of these services for the property.
