Outdoor Living Services in Houston, TX

Great backyards don’t happen by accident—they’re designed around flow, comfort, and everyday use. Swain’s Services, LLC creates outdoor living spaces that feel connected to your home: patios for dining, shaded lounges for relaxing, and well-lit paths that make evenings easy. We handle layout, utilities, and details so the space looks clean, drains right, and stands up to Houston weather.

Every home and family is different, so we map zones to fit your routine—grill and prep near the kitchen door, dining within shade, a conversation nook by the fire, and clear paths to the lawn or pool. Materials are chosen for durability and maintenance: pavers or concrete for high-traffic areas, stone accents for warmth, and low-voltage lighting for safety and ambiance. We integrate drainage from the start so water moves away from the house and hardscape.

Our process begins with a free on-site consult. We review grade, utilities (gas/electric/water), sun/wind patterns, and access. From there, you’ll get a concept plan with layout, materials, and budget. Once approved, we handle demo, base prep, footings, utilities, and finishes, then walk the project with you to fine-tune lighting levels, seating heights, and grill clearances.

We build for real life in Houston: shade that actually covers during peak sun, surfaces with traction near pools, proper venting and clearances for outdoor appliances, and code-aware electrical/gas. Want a complete setup? Add a pergola or solid roof, a bar island with storage, a low-wall for extra seating, or a fire feature that turns cool nights into hangouts.

Choosing Swain’s means tight lines, tidy job sites, and communication from start to finish. You’ll see the difference in the details—level tops, consistent joints, smart hose bib and outlet placement, and lighting that makes the space usable after dark.

David Wells

We have used Swain's services on two different occasions once to mulch and de-weed our front flowerbeds and a second time to install a sprinkler system. Sam and his team were quick and responsive when getting quotes and fairly priced! The instillation of the sprinkler system went smoothly with his team taking the care to maintain the integrity of our yard. We are extremely happy to have our sprinkler system in and thankful to Swain services for doing an excellent job. Would recommend to anyone!
