· The Round Rock Backyard

Outdoor Living That Holds Up in Round Rock.

Round Rock's established neighborhoods — Forest Creek, Teravista, Behrens Ranch, Mayfield Ranch, and Sonoma — are full of mature homes with backyards ready for a second act. Faded decks, cracked slabs, and tired landscaping that hasn't kept pace with the rest of the house.

There's a reason patios crack in Round Rock: the blackland prairie clay underneath. It swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, and it pushes hard on anything built without the right base and drainage. We've seen the shortcut jobs — concrete poured straight on grade with no drainage plan — and we build the opposite way. Proper base prep, real drainage, and hardscape engineered for expansive soil, so it doesn't move on you a year later.

One team handles design, City of Round Rock permitting, and installation. Pergolas, covered patios, outdoor lighting, turf, retaining walls, drainage, and irrigation — coordinated as a single build instead of a string of contractors pointing fingers when something settles.

· FAQ

Round Rock Outdoor Living Questions.

Have a question about building in Round Rock? Here are the ones we hear most — and the honest answers. Still curious? Let's talk it through on site.

Schedule a Consultation
Almost always it's the soil. Round Rock sits on blackland prairie clay that expands when wet and contracts when dry, and that movement cracks concrete poured without a proper base or without drainage to control moisture. The fix isn't thicker concrete — it's the right sub-base, control joints, and a drainage plan that keeps water from pooling under the slab. We build for the clay so the movement stops working against you.
Yes — it's one of the most common calls we get here. Clay soil doesn't absorb water well, so it pools on the surface and sits against foundations after every storm. We install French drains, surface drains, dry creek beds, and regrading to move that water off your property, and we build drainage into every hardscape project from the start so your new patio isn't sitting in a puddle.
All of them — Forest Creek, Teravista, Behrens Ranch, Mayfield Ranch, Sonoma, Walsh Ranch, Paloma Lake, Stone Oak, and the surrounding areas off 620, University, and Gattis School Road. We're based just up I-35 in Georgetown, so Round Rock is a short drive. Call 512.316.4107 to confirm service at your address.
Yes. Covered structures, electrical for outdoor lighting, gas for kitchens and fire features, and attached patios typically require City of Round Rock permits and inspection. We manage the permitting as part of the project and build to code, so it's handled correctly and you're not left holding an un-permitted structure when it's time to sell.

"Built for the clay. Built to last."
