Project Overview
From a Blank Slate to Their Favorite Room in the House
These Burleson homeowners had spent years thinking about what they wanted their backyard to become. Their plans went beyond adding a swimming pool. They wanted a space where they could cook, entertain, watch the game, spend time with their kids, and enjoy more of their home outdoors.
Working directly with Jason and the Skylar King Pools team, those ideas became one coordinated backyard transformation. The completed project brought together a custom swimming pool, expanded covered living area, outdoor kitchen, hardscape, new plumbing, and major utility coordination.
Rather than treating each feature as a separate project, the backyard was planned as one connected outdoor space.

Homeowner Testimonial
In Their Words
“Jason didn’t just hand us a quote. He handed us a vision.”
“For years we dreamed about and planned our backyard. When we were finally ready to go from a blank slate to a new roofline, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool, we knew the contractor would make or break it. We needed someone we could trust with a full roof tear-back, new water and gas plumbing, and the relocation of tricky septic, power, and water lines.
We chose Skylar King because Jason didn't just hand us a quote. He handed us a vision. His team brought creativity, fresh ideas, a strong work ethic, and meticulous attention to detail to every phase of the project.
The result has truly extended our living space. We host parties, catch the game from the margarita table in the pool, and have movie nights with the kids under the new roofline. It's become our favorite room in the house, and it's outside.
We couldn't be happier, and we'd recommend Skylar King to anyone ready to bring their backyard dreams to life.”

The Vision
Bringing the Whole Backyard Together
The homeowners wanted a pool, outdoor kitchen, covered area, and gathering space. Jason helped turn those ideas into one cohesive backyard plan while coordinating key utility and site needs.
01. Site Preparation & Pool Construction
Building the Foundation
The project began with excavation, utility coordination, and the structural work needed to turn the approved backyard design into a working pool environment.
Site Preparation & Excavation
The backyard was prepared and excavated to establish the pool footprint and create the foundation for construction.
Utility Coordination
New water and gas plumbing were coordinated alongside the relocation of existing septic, power, and water lines.
Pool Construction
Structural, plumbing, and mechanical work brought the custom pool from an excavated space to a recognizable part of the backyard.
02. Outdoor Living Construction
Extending the Home Outdoors
With the pool taking shape, construction expanded into the covered living area and outdoor kitchen that would make the backyard useful beyond the water.
Expanded Roofline
The new covered area created a sheltered extension of the home for relaxing, dining, entertaining, and spending time outside.
Custom Outdoor Kitchen
A dedicated cooking area gave the homeowners a functional place to prepare meals and entertain without leaving the backyard.
Connected Design
Wood ceilings, stone finishes, hardscape, and architectural details helped the new living areas feel connected to the pool and home.
03. Finishing the Backyard
Bringing the Entire Space Together
The final stage focused on the surfaces, finishes, and details that connected the pool and outdoor living areas into one complete backyard.
Pool Decking & Hardscape
Decking and hardscape created functional connections between the pool, covered patio, kitchen, and surrounding gathering areas.
Finishing Details
Pool finishes, architectural details, and surrounding materials gave the backyard a consistent look from one area to the next.
Ready for Everyday Living
The completed space was designed for swimming, cooking, entertaining, movie nights, and spending more time together outdoors.
