H30 project photographyMake room for life outside
An outdoor space.
A better everyday.
Start with what you want to do outside, then decide which elements belong in the project. H30 helps bring the layout, material selections and construction scope together with room for personal design revisions.
Pergolas & shade structures
Compare the type of shade, openness and appearance you want. Describe how you intend to use the space rather than treating every structure as interchangeable.
Pool houses & cabanas
Discuss whether the goal is an open gathering space, storage or a more enclosed building. Kitchen, bathroom and utility ideas need to be stated early for scope and approval review.
Outdoor kitchens
Plan cooking, preparation, seating and storage together. Bring appliance preferences, then confirm what is included and what utility work the selected equipment requires.
Firepits & fireplaces
Consider the gathering area, desired fuel type and the relationship to structures and circulation. The actual location and installation requirements need project-specific review.
A connected backyard
Design the pool, patio and outdoor gathering spaces as parts of the same environment. Shared planning does not mean every feature is automatically included in the proposal.
Your proposal should identify the appliances, utility connections, enclosures and other work included in the project.
Before we build
Plan the way
you will use it.
A cooking area for two and a backyard built for larger gatherings need different conversations. Start with the activities, then work through the space, materials and practical details.
Think about how people will move from the house to the seating, cooking area and pool. Bring measurements or furniture sizes when available, appliance preferences, and photos showing what you like about your current backyard.
Structures, utility connections and pool barriers can need separate review. Benbrook, for example, lists accessory-building, trade and pool-barrier applications. Check the resources for your own city to plan the required documents.

outdoor-living scope.
A meaningful estimate needs more than a square-foot target. An open patio, outdoor kitchen and pool house each involve different decisions and included work.
- Structure & footprint
- The size, type of structure and relationship to the existing home and outdoor space.
- Materials & equipment
- Selected surfaces, finishes, appliances and other items included in the proposal.
- Utilities & approvals
- The site-specific trade work, engineering or approval requirements identified for the project.
The H30 process
From backyard ideas
to a coordinated plan.
Review the layout, selections and revisions together before approving the work for construction.
- 01
Discovery & site visit
Discuss how you want to use the yard and review the existing spaces.
- 02
Layout & selections
Bring the proposed structures, surfaces, appliances and features into one design direction.
- 03
Design revisions
Refine the proposal and distinguish the current build from optional or later work.
- 04
Project planning & build
Confirm the agreed scope, applicable approvals and construction schedule.
Discuss phasing during design so the access routes, utilities and later additions can be planned before construction begins.
Designed as a whole
One backyard.
Thoughtfully connected.
A pool, patio and gathering space should feel like they belong together. H30 can discuss your outdoor-living work alongside a new pool or complete pool remodel, with each part clearly defined in the proposal.
Know what your proposal covers.
Review the workmanship and product warranties for your outdoor-living project. Appliances may have separate manufacturer coverage; the new-pool structural warranty is not coverage for every outdoor structure.
Explore third-party financing optionsWhat outdoor-living services does H30 offer?
H30 offers patio additions, pool houses or cabanas, shade structures and pergolas, outdoor kitchens, firepits and fireplaces. These can be discussed as an individual project or as part of a larger pool and backyard plan.
Can H30 build outdoor living without a new pool?
Yes. Outdoor-living construction is one of H30’s services, separate from new pool construction. Share the project you have in mind so the scope and site can be reviewed.
What is the difference between a pergola, cabana and pool house?
A pergola typically has an open overhead framework; a cabana is a poolside shelter that may remain open on one or more sides. For a pool house, discuss enclosed space, storage and any desired utilities. H30 will define the intended use and included work in the proposal; the name alone does not determine approval requirements.
Are outdoor-kitchen appliances and utility connections included?
Only the items and work identified in the proposal are included. Confirm appliance selections, installation, cabinetry or surfaces, and any gas, electrical or plumbing work before approving the scope.
Can I add a bathroom or kitchen to a pool house?
Discuss kitchen or bathroom plans early. Feasibility depends on the property, intended use, utilities and applicable approvals. The design and proposal should specify those facilities and their associated work.
Can the pool and outdoor-living project be built in phases?
Phasing can be discussed during planning. H30 needs to review access, layout and the work planned for each stage before confirming an approach. Keep future features separate from the current included scope.
See new-pool planningHow much does an outdoor-living project cost?
Cost depends on the footprint, structures, materials, appliances, utility connections and site requirements. H30 provides a project-specific proposal after the initial consultation.
Do patios, pergolas and outdoor kitchens need permits?
Requirements depend on the actual property and proposed work. Confirm the responsible authority and any applicable association review. A structure and its gas, electrical or plumbing work can involve different questions; do not assume an open-sided structure is automatically exempt.
