Huge shout out to Angel Cortez and Javier Garza!!!! You’ve made our dream backyard come to life. We walked in with a vision, walked out with an expert rendering. We got everything that we wanted: outdoor kitchen, pool with stools, full bathroom, and storage garage. When I walk out my back door, I feel like I just entered a paradise. I highly recommend SOUTH TEXAS BACKYARDS for fulfilling your backyard dream space.

If you are looking for professionalism Southtexas Back Yards is the place to go. I can not say enough good things about these gentlemen. Like in all projects little problems accrue, but one thing they had with our project was that they made sure that we were happy with the final result. In every detail even the smallest that we weren’t happy with, they would fix it. always maintaining communication respectful, professional and understanding. Best of the best.

South Texas Backyards built our outdoor dream!! Both Angel and Javier were with us the entire process. That speaks volumes when the owners are that involved. With other companies, you never even meet the owners. From the design to construction, they helped us along the way.  They saw our vision and made it into reality. If you want to build the outdoor pool and patio of your dreams, I highly recommend South Texas Backyards!!

South Texas Backyards did an excellent job building our pool house. We are very satisfied with their work, Angel was open and accommodating to our ideas and what we wanted and needed in our pool house. They were always a phone call away and completed the job in a reasonable time frame. We would definitely recommend them.

The owners were really good in communicating with me and letting me know the progress and what’s going to happen next. Gave me a good amount of options on the material I wanted to make the pool look amazing. Even helped by going and getting the materials themselves to finish the pool in time. Very happy with the outcome and always recommend them to everyone who’s asked me about the pool.

I had the pleasure of working with South Texas Backyards to bring my outdoor patio dreams to life, and I couldn't be happier with the entire process from start to finish. From the initial concept discussions with Angel and Javier to the final execution of the project and billing, their team demonstrated professionalism and expertise every step of the way.

STB really took care of us. They were swift in responses, prep work and completed our project in a little less than a month! What blew us away was their attention to detail when it came to drawing up our 3D rendering to give us a good picture of what we were going to get.
