It’s late afternoon in Grapevine. Even as the sun dips below the treeline, the heat still seems to radiate off the warmed concrete. You step outside, hoping to catch a breeze, but instead you’re greeted by harsh light, hot pavers, and furniture cracked and faded by the elements and time.
You picture what could be: shade and comfort, for a start. And maybe even a built-in grill and space to gather. Something that feels finished.
That’s where we come in.
As your trusted Grapevine patio builder, Archadeck of Northeast Dallas-Southlake helps homeowners turn ideas into real, livable outdoor spaces. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading what’s already there, there is no shortage of ways you can make your backyard more beautiful this season.
Here are just five ideas of many that you can run with.
1. Upgrade your patio surface with pavers or stamped concrete.
So much of what you have outdoors will be built on or resting on the floor of your patio. It’s not an exaggeration to say, then, that it is the foundation of your outdoor experience. So if it’s weathered, uneven, or just uninspired, it’s time for a change.
Pavers are a versatile and upscale choice that many homeowners appreciate for their ability to elevate the look of any backyard. Stamped concrete has similar style at a lower price point—mimicking stone, tile, or wood without the maintenance demands.
As experienced patio experts, we’ll help you choose the right materials and layout for your needs and budget. Whether you’re hosting summer parties or just want a nicer place to unwind, you can count on us to help you choose the right materials to make that happen.
2. Add shaded comfort with Grapevine covered patios, pergolas, or cabanas.
If you’ve lived through a Texas summer, you already know full well that shade isn’t optional. Grapevine covered patios, pergolas, and poolside cabanas can all make your backyard livable again when the temperatures climb past the upper 90s.
A covered patio can help you to extend your roofline and protect your space from sun, wind, and rain. Pergolas can help you filter the hot summer light and add an open-air feel to your space. And cabanas can give you a much-desired poolside retreat with privacy and style.
No matter how you choose to add shade to your space, one thing is sure: a bit of well-designed shade can transform your outdoor experience entirely.
3. Add a fire feature for year-round use.
Evenings in Grapevine don’t have to end when the temperature drops. Adding a firepit or custom fireplace extends your outdoor season well into the winter and can add ambiance too.
We build permanent fire features that are as beautiful as they are functional. Whether it’s a stone-lined firepit for roasting marshmallows or a fireplace integrated into a seating wall, our fire features are designed to suit both your lifestyle and your desired layout.
And, as seasoned Grapevine patio contractors, we’ll make sure it’s built safely and built to code.
4. Cook, entertain, and connect with a full outdoor kitchen.
If your patio is where the party happens, an outdoor kitchen is the logical next step.
A great setup includes more than a grill. We can also add prep surfaces, refrigeration, lighting, and even mounted entertainment systems to create a space that truly functions like a second kitchen. Pair it with a built-in bar, shade structure, and thoughtful seating, and your backyard can easily become the centerpiece for entertaining at your home.

5. Want nature without the bugs? Enclose your patio the smart way.
Not every outdoor moment is meant to be wide open. Some days, you want the comfort of a ceiling fan, soft lighting, and protection from mosquitos or pollen—without giving up fresh air.
That’s where enclosed patios come in. From retractable screens to full three-season rooms, we design spaces that give you the best of both worlds. Add built-in lighting, entertainment walls, or even a heater, and you’ve got a four-season retreat just steps from your back door.
6. Choose a team that can bring it all together.
You deserve more than a rushed quote and a vague promise. At Archadeck of Northeast Dallas-Southlake, we provide full-service design and construction with permitting, warranty coverage, and clear communication at every step.
So if you’ve been looking for a Grapevine patio contractor who can build your dreams into real physical structures—be they covered patios, kitchens, enclosures, or something else altogether—you’re in the right place.
