September Project Spotlight: Before & After Cozy Backyard Lounge
This September, we’re spotlighting a stylish backyard makeover. We transformed a blank canvas into a cozy retreat, where design meets expertise.

Every backyard has the potential to become a favorite gathering place, and this one proves just that. What was once an open and blank space is now a warm and welcoming retreat. Built with premium materials and design expertise, this backyard upgrade is quality craftsmanship.
Complete with a shaded patio cover, an outdoor kitchen ready for weekend cookouts, and a Carvestone patio, this outdoor living space is built for relaxing. The ultimate gathering space for family and friends.
We’re Allied Outdoor Solutions, and we’ve created 25,000+ outdoor living spaces for Texas homeowners just like this one. Let’s explore the process of this newly built outdoor transformation: from the before photos, Allied design process, full service scope of work and final results.
Built from the Ground Up

Before the transformation, this backyard was simple and plain. An open, unused space ready for elevated outdoor living. The outdoor space lacked both shade and character, making it clear it was in need of a “wow” factor.
To the client, it may have seemed like nothing more than a small, empty space with limited possibilities. Through the eyes of Allied’s Outdoor Life Designer, it was a canvas full of potential. With design inspiration and expertise, the vision extended far beyond the bare ground.
Once a plan was created, and every detail approved by the client, the next step began. Let’s explore Allied’s design process.

The Custom ALLIED Design Process
The design options are endless when creativity takes the lead. At Allied Outdoor Solutions, our design team approaches every backyard with precision and attention - and this backyard remodel was no exception.
Once our Outdoor Life Designer meets with the client, the design team gets to work - turning ideas and visions into a beautiful rendering.
Allied does things differently - which is why our renderings always go above and beyond. This client wanted to see the possibilities for their backyard, and we delivered. Every element was thoughtfully chosen, from the red brick to the light Carvestone flooring.

This rendering gallery reveals the thoughtful nature behind every design. The client was able to see their vision come to life before breaking ground, thanks to our design process. The design showcased how each element is intentionally planned, from layout and flow to textures and finishes.
Renderings are a powerful way for clients to experience their dream space before it’s even built. They spark excitement and help bring ideas to life in a way that words or sketches alone can’t capture.
The Big Reveal

You’ve watched the journey unfold. Now see the complete transformation. From bare to beautiful, this backyard truly is the ultimate hangout spot. Cozy couch lounging to grilling up dinner, this space is built to impress - and yes, even the neighbors are a little jealous.
Let’s take a deeper look at this finished masterpiece. Each service has its unique characteristics that bring the “wow” factor. Together, these services blend seamlessly to create a space that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
Patio Cover

This stunning attached patio cover transforms the backyard into a versatile outdoor living space that feels both stylish and functional. The structure blends seamlessly with the home’s architecture, featuring a warm cedar ceiling. Brick columns anchor the design. The open layout creates a welcoming flow from the indoor French doors to the outdoor kitchen, dining, and lounge areas.
Outdoor Kitchen

A perfect balance of style and functionality, the outdoor kitchen is crafted for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Built-in stainless steel appliances, including a grill, refrigerator, trash can and Green Egg are the perfect cooking combination. The stacked stone finish creates a sleek, modern look that stands out against the traditional red brick. Durable granite countertops provide plenty of prep space, ultimately creating the perfect combination for grilling and gathering.
Outdoor kitchens come in many layouts—L-shaped for extra prep space, U-shaped for efficiency, or island-style for gathering. This one is a linear design, keeping everything sleek and streamlined while maintaining an open flow to the other patio destinations.
Carvestone Patio

The patio is beautifully finished with Carvestone, a hand-crafted, custom-colored surface. Its textured design mimics the natural look of real stone while providing a slip-resistant, long-lasting finish that stands up to weather and heavy use. This refined surface not only elevates the style of the patio but also creates a strong, timeless foundation for outdoor living.
