Have questions about creating your dream outdoor space? Here are some of the most common questions we get as an outdoor living contractor, along with answers to help you plan your project.
Q: What does an outdoor living contractor do?
A: Think of us as your go-to team for transforming your backyard into a space you’ll love. As outdoor living contractors, we design and build everything from outdoor kitchens and patios to fireplaces, pergolas, and fences. At Bobcat Custom Construction, we handle the whole process, so you end up with an outdoor space that’s beautiful and perfectly fits your needs.
Q: What are the benefits of adding an outdoor kitchen or built-in grill?
A: Adding an outdoor kitchen or built-in grill really opens up your home for entertaining and makes outdoor cooking so much more enjoyable. Not only does it give you more room for get-togethers, but it can also boost your home’s value. We’ll help you create a kitchen that’s tailored to how you like to cook, whether that’s with a built-in sink, extra storage, a refrigerator, or a custom stone or brick finish.
Q: Can you build both wood-burning and gas fire features?
A: Absolutely! We build all kinds of fire features. Whether you want a classic wood-burning firepit, a modern gas fireplace, or something more unique. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option, helping you find the one that best fits your lifestyle, safety needs, and your city’s regulations.
Q: What’s the difference between a covered patio and a pergola?
A: Great question! A covered patio has a solid roof, providing complete protection from the sun and rain. A pergola, on the other hand, has an open-beam design that offers partial shade and adds a stylish architectural touch. We offer both, and we’ll help you decide which makes the most sense for your space, style, and how you plan to use your outdoor area.
Q: Do you also install fences and gates?
A: We sure do! We can add beautiful cedar or iron fences for privacy and security, plus automatic gates to make access easy and stylish. We’ll ensure your new fence or gate blends seamlessly with the rest of your outdoor living design.
Q: Is artificial turf a good option for North Texas yards?
A: Artificial turf is a fantastic choice here in North Texas, especially if you want a yard that looks great year-round without much effort. It saves on water and eliminates mowing—which is great for families, pet owners, or anyone who wants an attractive, low-maintenance lawn.
Q: How long does an outdoor living project take from start to finish?
A: It depends on your project (and the weather)! Simple features like fire pits or small pergolas could take about a week, while larger projects like full outdoor kitchens or multi-feature patios can take several weeks. We’ll lay out a clear timeline at the start and keep you posted at every step, so you’ll always know what’s happening.
Q: Do you offer design consultations?
A: Yes, we do! We start every project with a design consultation at your home to understand your needs, budget, and vision. Then we’ll put together a customized plan to help you achieve the outdoor space you’ve always wanted.e.
