Plan your backyard around how you'll use it: an outdoor kitchen near the house for easy cooking, a pool deck with room to relax, and shade — like a pool house or covered area — for Houston's hot afternoons.
Start with how you'll entertain
Do you host big cookouts or quiet family dinners? That decides how much counter space, seating and cooking area your outdoor kitchen needs.
Make the pool area work
A well-planned pool deck gives you room for lounging and foot traffic, and a pool house adds shade and storage.
Plan for heat and rain
Houston's sun and heavy rain should shape placement, shade and drainage. A covered area or screened-in porch can make the backyard usable more of the year.
