OUTDOOR LIVING · BEE CAVE
Outdoor living in Bee Cave.
Many gated Hill Country communities near the Galleria corridor have wooded limestone lots and newer homes. The outdoor space should feel connected to that setting and to the way you use the home.

A space drawn from the land and your life.
We begin with how you want to use the outdoors, then shape the structure and materials around your home and its setting.
Design for the life you want outside
Many gated Hill Country communities near the Galleria corridor have wooded limestone lots and newer homes. The outdoor space should feel connected to that setting and to the way you use the home.
Warm materials for wooded ground
A wooded, limestone-terrain lot can make a timber cover or pergola feel at home. The aim is to balance shade and openness while keeping the yard easy to move through. If an outdoor kitchen is part of the plan, utilities and the route from the house matter as much as the finish on the island.
What the site may ask of the design
Start with the path from the house, the day’s sun, the terrain, and the view you want to keep. A cover, kitchen, pergola, or deck should answer those conditions together. A flat courtyard and an elevated wooded lot need different plans.
Local planning matters
Bee Cave Planning and Development oversees permits and inspections. The scope, utilities, and applicable development rules should be reviewed for a specific property.
Choose the right starting point
If the space feels exposed, begin with shade. If you want people to gather around meals, begin with the kitchen and seating. If the grade separates you from the yard, begin with access and the deck. Then connect the pieces into one plan.
