In Austin, outdoor living isn’t a seasonal perk—it’s a way of life. At AC Cornerstone Building, we design and build custom outdoor living spaces in Austin, TX that make the most of your property and Central Texas’s warm, welcoming climate. Whether you’re dreaming of a shady patio, a stylish deck, or a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, we bring your vision to life with expert craftsmanship and smart, functional design.
From layout to lighting, every element is tailored to your lifestyle, your home, and the way you want to use your space.
Outdoor spaces are one of the most valuable—and most used—parts of any Austin home. With mild winters, plenty of sunshine, and a love for entertaining, Central Texans are turning patios, backyards, and side yards into true extensions of their homes.
Top reasons Austin homeowners invest in outdoor living:
✅ Enjoy year-round use with covered and climate-smart features
✅ Increase home value with additional livable square footage
✅ Entertain friends and family without crowding indoors
✅ Create a retreat for reading, relaxing, or recharging
✅ Improve daily comfort with custom shade, airflow, and privacy
If your backyard is bare or underused, a custom outdoor space can completely transform how you live at home—and how much you enjoy it.
Every outdoor project starts with a conversation about how you want to live. Whether you need a place to entertain, cook, relax, or just escape the heat, we help you design a space that does more than just look good—it works beautifully for real life.
Outdoor living features we commonly build include:
Beat the heat and enjoy more time outside with weather-resistant shade structures designed to match your home’s architecture.
Composite or real wood decks built for durability and outdoor exposure, complete with custom railing and lighting options.
Cook, serve, and gather with built-in grills, sinks, counters, and storage—everything you need for a full culinary experience outdoors.
Add warmth and ambiance to your evenings with safe, stylish fire features.
Enhance comfort and function with properly installed electrical components designed for outdoor use.
Stay protected from neighbors, sun, and wind with custom walls, screens, and landscaping integration.
We’ve developed a streamlined, straightforward process to turn outdoor ideas into beautiful, livable spaces. At AC Cornerstone Building, communication and clarity guide everything we do—from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.
We meet with you in your backyard to discuss your goals, preferences, and challenges. We’ll assess your existing space, offer suggestions, and start shaping your vision.
After the consultation, we create a design plan that fits your budget and layout. You’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate with all costs and materials outlined—no vague pricing.
If your project needs permits, we handle all submissions and approvals with the City of Austin or your HOA. We also make sure your design meets local codes and functional needs like drainage and electrical load.
Our skilled team shows up on time, protects your home, and builds with precision. We coordinate all subcontractors, from electricians to masons, so you don’t have to.
Once the project is complete, we walk through everything with you, explain features and maintenance, and make sure you’re thrilled with the result.
An outdoor space should feel like a natural part of your home. That’s why we match exterior details like siding, paint colors, and trim—while also choosing weather-rated materials that last through Austin summers and the occasional winter freeze.
We focus on:
Your new space will look great on day one—and stay that way for years.
We’ve built outdoor spaces across Austin and Central Texas, from simple covered patios to high-end outdoor kitchens and multi-level decks. Each project reflects our clients’ lifestyle, property layout, and design goals.
