Most DFW homeowners have 2,400 sq ft of outdoor space they never use. We fix that.
From May through September, your backyard is unbearable. No shade. No outdoor kitchen. Grass that dies no matter what you spend. Truhaven Outdoor Living builds complete outdoor living spaces — cedar pergolas, custom natural stone kitchens, premium turf, and pavers — so your family actually lives outside.
"We have this huge backyard and we never use it. It's just too hot."
— DFW homeowner. This is the most common thing we hear.
Texas homeowners average 2,400 square feet of backyard space — and use less than 30% of it. The problem isn't the space. It's three things: no shade that makes summer bearable, no outdoor kitchen that makes the space worth gathering in, and grass that dies every August no matter how much you water it.
Truhaven Outdoor Living solves all three. We design and build complete outdoor living spaces — cedar pergolas and patio covers for shade, custom natural stone outdoor kitchens for entertaining, premium artificial turf for a maintenance-free lawn, and custom pavers to tie it all together. One company. One project. One finished backyard your family won't want to leave.
Why Truhaven Outdoor Living
We don't just install products. We build the space where your family actually gathers — designed around the way Texas families live, and built to hold up in the Texas climate for decades.
Shade Makes Everything Possible
34% of outdoor spaces go unused without proper coverage. A cedar pergola or patio cover turns an unbearable concrete slab into a room your family uses every single evening — even in July.
Cook Outside. Live Outside.
An outdoor kitchen changes everything. Over 60% of homeowners remodeling their indoor kitchen are also adding outdoor cooking. Once you have it, you'll wonder how you lived without it.
Stop Fighting the Grass
Texas homeowners spend $1,500–$3,000 per year fighting a lawn they'll never win. Premium artificial turf breaks even in 3–4 years — and gives you 15–25 years of maintenance-free green.
55–200% Return at Resale
Well-designed outdoor kitchens return 55–200% of their cost in added home value. Covered patios recoup over 100%. In DFW, outdoor living spaces are a baseline expectation at the high end of the market.
One Company. Complete Build.
Kitchen, pergola, turf, pavers — one contractor handles it all. No coordinating between multiple trades. Everything designed to work together as one cohesive space.
Built for Texas. Backed by Warranty.
Every material we use is selected for DFW's extreme summers and cold snaps. Premium turf backed by up to a 16-year product warranty. Cedar and stone built to last decades.
Custom Outdoor Kitchens
& BBQ Islands
"An outdoor kitchen changes how families cook, entertain, and spend time together at home. It's not a luxury anymore — it's how Texans live."
We build custom outdoor kitchens from natural stone — from simple BBQ islands to full kitchens with appliances, bar seating, and lighting. The house where everyone gathers starts with the right outdoor kitchen.
- Custom natural stone construction
- Commercial-grade grills & appliances
- Side burners, refrigerators, bar seating

Returns 55–200% at resale. In DFW's high-end neighborhoods, buyers immediately look for it — and pay for it.

Cedar Pergolas &
Patio Covers
"We built the patio first without a cover. Biggest mistake. It sat empty all summer. The pergola changed everything — now we're out there every single evening."
An outdoor kitchen without shade is a space that sits empty from May through September. Our handcrafted cedar pergolas and solid patio covers turn your exposed concrete into a true outdoor room — cool, comfortable, and usable every day of the year.
- Real cedar wood construction
- Open-lattice pergolas or solid patio covers
- Built-in electrical for fans & lighting
- Attached or freestanding structures
34% of outdoor spaces go unused without shade. Covered outdoor kitchens perform measurably better at resale — because buyers do the math on August afternoons.

Premium Artificial Turf
"I spent close to $1,500 one summer trying to keep the grass green, and then another $1,000 replacing the dead areas. It's a money pit."
The average Texas homeowner spends $1,500–$3,000 per year fighting a lawn they'll never win. Premium artificial turf breaks even in 3–4 years — then saves you money for the next 15–25 years. No mowing. No watering. No dead patches in August.
- Residential yards, pet areas, pool surrounds
- Custom putting greens
- Up to 16-year product warranty
- 70 hours per year back — every year
510 lifetime hours of mowing eliminated. That's 21 full days of your life back — just from switching to turf.
