Backyard Construction Services in Bellaire, TX

Your backyard has more potential than most people give it credit for. It can be a second living room, a place to cook and host, a quiet spot to end the day, or all three at once. At Blum Custom Builders, we help Bellaire homeowners plan and build outdoor spaces that actually get used. We have spent over 20 years building and remodeling across Houston, and we know what holds up in Texas weather and what does not. Our team handles the full backyard construction services Bellaire families trust from design through the final walkthrough, so you are working with one builder from start to finish.

What We Offer

Our backyard work covers everything from small upgrades to full outdoor builds. We sit down with you, look at the yard, talk about how you want to use the space, and draw up a plan that fits your home and your budget.

Here is what we commonly build:

  • Custom patios in concrete, stone, brick, & pavers
  • Outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, counters, & storage
  • Pergolas, pavilions, & covered patios
  • Fire pits, fireplaces, & seating walls
  • Pool decks & pool surround construction
  • Retaining walls, steps, & grading
  • Landscape structures, fences, & privacy screens
  • Drainage work & proper slope planning for Houston rain


Every yard is different. A lot in Bellaire with mature trees needs a different plan than a newer build in Meyerland with open space. We design around what your property already has and what you want it to become.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a backyard construction project take?

Most backyard builds run four to twelve weeks. A single patio or pergola goes up faster, while full outdoor kitchens, pool decks, and multi-feature yards take longer. We give you a written timeline before work starts so you know what to plan around.

Cost depends on the size of the yard, the features you want, and the materials picked. A simple patio is on the lower end. An outdoor kitchen with a pergola, fire pit, and pool deck lands much higher. You get a detailed written estimate during the consultation, and we stick to it.

Yes. We handle full outdoor living builds, including kitchens, pool decks, pergolas, and fire features in one project. Doing it together usually saves time and money compared to hiring separate crews later and ripping work apart to connect everything.

Stamped concrete, natural stone, pavers, and cedar all hold up well in Gulf Coast weather. The right pick depends on your yard, your drainage, and the look you want. We walk you through the trade-offs during the consultation so you are not guessing.

Yes. Permits, drainage planning, and proper grading are all part of the job. Houston gets heavy rain and shifting soil, so skipping these steps causes real problems later. We build them into every project from the start.

Along with Bellaire, we serve Houston, Meyerland, West University Place, Sugar Land, and Spring. If you are in the greater Houston area and not sure, give us a call and we will confirm.

Yes. A lot of Bellaire yards have mature trees worth keeping, and we design around them instead of tearing them out. Root zones, shade patterns, and drainage near trees all factor into the plan.
