At Waterloo Outdoor Design Build, we create custom outdoor living spaces in Austin, TX, that bring comfort, beauty, and functionality beyond the walls of your home.

From covered patios and outdoor kitchens to pergolas, fire features, and complete backyard transformations, every project is thoughtfully designed around your property and lifestyle.
Our outdoor living design services combine creativity, practical planning, and attention to detail to create beautiful spaces for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying life outdoors in Central Texas.
more room for the way you live
A thoughtfully designed backyard gives you more ways to enjoy your home. Create a dining area for everyday meals, a lounge for catching up with friends, or a welcoming gathering place that keeps everyone connected.
The difference comes from planning these spaces together. We consider seating, circulation, privacy, and the relationship between your indoor and outdoor rooms, so your backyard feels like a natural extension of your home.

covered outdoor living spaces in austin
Shade can make a meaningful difference in how you use your backyard. A covered patio can create a sheltered setting for dining and relaxing, while a pergola can define a gathering area and introduce filtered shade.
Our patio and pergola designs consider your home’s architecture, sun exposure, and the spaces you use most. We can connect these areas with an outdoor kitchen, comfortable seating, and nearby planting for a more inviting backyard.
The goal is a space that feels connected to your home and comfortable for the activities you enjoy.
your outdoor living project, thoughtfully planned
A successful outdoor living space starts with understanding how you’ll use it. Do you need room for family dinners, a comfortable place to entertain, or a quiet retreat beyond the back door?
Our outdoor living design-build approach connects your ideas with the practical details of your property. From the first conversation through installation, we keep the overall design at the center of the project.
Here’s how it works:
tell us what matters
We begin with your goals, preferred style, and investment priorities. We look at how you want to cook, dine, relax, and entertain outdoors, along with what currently works—and what doesn’t—in your backyard.
bring the design together
We develop a custom plan that connects your outdoor living areas with your home and landscape. Layout, materials, shade, planting, and lighting work together to create a space that feels comfortable, functional, and distinctly yours.
bring your space to life
Once the design is approved, we coordinate with experienced contractors and specialized trades to bring it to life. Each element is considered as part of the whole, helping carry the design vision through construction and installation.

luxury outdoor living, personal to you
Luxury outdoor living starts with a space that feels right for you. It might be a beautifully finished dining terrace, a quiet courtyard, or an inviting backyard with room to cook, gather, and unwind.
We bring materials, proportions, planting, and architectural details together into one cohesive design. Custom water features can introduce movement and sound, while outdoor lighting adds atmosphere and helps you enjoy the space after sunset.
Every feature should have a purpose and feel like it belongs.
designed for austin homes and landscapes
An outdoor space needs to do more than look beautiful in a drawing. It needs to respond to your property’s sun exposure, drainage, existing trees, elevation changes, and relationship to neighboring homes.
Our Austin landscape design approach brings these considerations into the overall plan. Planting, hardscape, shade, and gathering areas are designed together to create a backyard that feels balanced and practical.
