Outdoor Living Contractor · Waco & Central TexasDesigned for Living, Crafted for Life.
Turn-key design and construction of outdoor kitchens, covered patios and pergolas, pools, hardscaping and landscaping — drawn by our architects, built by our own crews, managed start to finish.
Every outdoor living service, from one company.
Three paths, one company. Build is the permanent structure — outdoor kitchens, pools, covered patios, pergolas and stonework. Grounds is landscaping and the landscape lighting that shows it off after dark. Seasonal is Christmas light installation and maintenance on its own calendar. Most projects combine two or three of these; each stands on its own too.
Outdoor kitchens, motorized power screens, landscape lighting and Christmas lighting are what we’re asked for most — look for the Most Requested tag below.

Steve Murray started Outdoor Living in Texas after decades in construction and landscaping. Today we’re a design-build outdoor living contractor with our own designers, carpenters and landscapers — so the person who draws your patio and the carpenter installing your pergola work under the same roof.
That matters most on complicated projects: a pool that has to meet a covered kitchen that has to meet a grade change. Those seams are where outdoor projects usually go wrong.
40 years of craftsmanship, project by project.
Outdoor kitchens, pools, covered patios and landscapes built for homeowners across Waco, Woodway and Central Texas.
Four steps, start to finish.
The most common question we get isn’t about price. It’s “what actually happens after I call?” Here is what you can expect working with us.
Site visit
We walk the property with you, take measurements and talk through how to create your dream space. Free, with no charge for a site evaluation.
Design & estimate
Our architects and designers bring your vision to life through detailed 3D renderings while developing the project pricing. You’ll see the design and investment together, allowing us to refine both until everything feels just right.
Build
Our own crews do the work on a set schedule. One project manager, one point of contact, regular updates — not a rotating cast of subs.
Crafted for life
Your project comes together, the final details are completed, and your new outdoor space is ready for living, entertaining, and enjoying for years to come.
“My wife just walked in and said, “I mean Steve is the best landscaper I’ve ever seen!” The man knows a lot about plants and shaping a yard. He’s been doing it since 1982, and you can tell by the results. He’s an artist and an arborist.
“Steve and his team do absolutely beautiful work! They transform spaces and bring your vision to life. If you want to make your yard or patio a place you truly love, they are the ones to call. Highly recommend!
You’ll love your new space — guaranteed.
It’s the promise the company has made since the beginning, and it’s the reason we stay on a job until the walkthrough is signed.
Needs confirmation: exact warranty terms and coverage period, so we can state this precisely rather than generally.
