Outdoor living spaces have become essential extensions of the modern North Texas home. With our climate offering pleasant weather for much of the year, a well-designed outdoor area adds usable square footage, increases property value, and improves quality of life. OBS Clear designs and builds outdoor living improvements throughout Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, Plano, Little Elm, Flower Mound, Southlake, Highland Village, Grapevine, Denton, Aubrey, Celina, Lantana and across North Texas.
Deck construction creates elevated outdoor spaces that take advantage of views, grade changes, and multi-level lot configurations. We build decks using pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite decking materials — composite has become particularly popular in North Texas for its fade resistance and zero-maintenance requirements.
Pergola installation defines outdoor spaces and provides partial shade without fully enclosing the area. A pergola over your patio or deck creates a sense of room, provides structure for climbing plants and string lighting, and offers a mounting point for retractable shade canopies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you design outdoor spaces or just build them?
We provide complete design-build services. Our team creates a design based on your goals, budget, and property, then handles every aspect of construction — from footings to finishing touches.
How long does a typical outdoor living project take?
Most projects range from 1-4 weeks depending on scope. A pergola installation may take 2-3 days, while a full outdoor entertainment space with decking, pergola, and hardscaping may take several weeks.
Do you handle HOA approvals?
Yes. We can provide the documentation, drawings, and material specifications that most HOAs require for approval. We recommend checking your HOA guidelines before finalizing any outdoor project design.
What decking materials do you offer?
Pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite decking. Composite has become particularly popular in North Texas — it resists fading, doesn't splinter, and requires no annual staining or sealing.
Can you integrate outdoor kitchens?
Yes. We design and build outdoor kitchen prep areas with built-in grills, countertops, storage, and utility connections for a complete outdoor cooking experience.
What pergola options are available?
Cedar and pressure-treated wood pergolas with options for stained finishes, decorative end cuts, integrated electrical for fans and lighting, and adjustable louvers or fabric shade systems.
