Backyards Built for Coppell's Established Lots
A lot of Coppell's appeal is in its backyards. The 1980s and 1990s subdivisions that make up much of the city were built on generous, well-landscaped lots with mature trees, and those established yards — in larger-lot enclaves like Riverchase Estates or on the shaded streets around Northlake Woodlands and Woodridge — are ideal canvases for outdoor living. A thoughtfully designed pool, covered patio, or outdoor kitchen turns a yard you maintain into one you actually use across the long North Texas season.
Pools and Outdoor Living, Designed Together
We plan the whole backyard as one project rather than a stack of separate installs: in-ground pools and spas, covered patios and pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire features, decking, hardscape, and — critically in this clay-soil region — drainage that protects both the new work and your foundation. Designing the pool, the structures, and the grade together is the difference between a backyard that flows and a collection of features that fight each other.
Pool and outdoor work leans heavily on the specialty trades, and in Texas those trades are genuinely state-licensed — the electricians who bond and wire pool equipment, the plumbers, and the gas fitters for an outdoor kitchen or fire pit all carry state credentials. As an Allen-based design-build firm serving Coppell (about 30 minutes away), we coordinate those licensed trades under one plan and one schedule.
Coppell Pool and Patio Permits
Pools are among the most tightly inspected residential projects a city runs — barrier and fencing requirements, electrical bonding, and multiple inspection stages — all handled through Coppell's Building Inspections Division at 265 E Parkway Blvd (972-304-3500) on the Civic Access portal (formerly CSS). And Coppell holds every contractor to the same rule: each contractor and subcontractor has to be registered with the city before a permit is issued, with that registration expiring one year from the application date and renewed annually. Registration requires proof of $1 million in liability coverage, too. We keep our registration active and stay insured and bonded, then manage the permits and inspections through to a swimmable, usable backyard.
Whether you want a full pool-and-patio transformation or just a covered outdoor kitchen, we'll walk the yard, read the grade, and design something built for how you'll actually spend your evenings out there.

Pools & Outdoor Living in Coppell — FAQ
- Do I need a permit for pools & outdoor living in Coppell, TX?
- Yes — pools & outdoor living in Coppell is permitted work. It's filed through City of Coppell Building Inspections Division (265 E Parkway Blvd) using Civic Access self-service portal (Tyler EnerGov). Every contractor must be registered with the city (Contractor Registration Form) before pulling or working under a permit, and that registration expires one year from the application date — so it renews annually. We pull the permit and carry the project through every inspection.
- What does pools & outdoor living in Coppell include?
- A pools & outdoor living project with us covers pools, decks & outdoor kitchens; patio covers & structures tied to the roofline; whole-lot drainage & grading on clay; electrical panel capacity & service; HOA, easement & setback review; permits & barrier inspections. Because we're design-build, one team owns design, engineering for North Texas's expansive clay soil, Coppell's permitting, and construction — so nothing falls between a separate designer, builder, and stack of subcontractors.
- How much does pools & outdoor living cost in Coppell?
- It depends on the size of the project, the finishes, and any structural or foundation work, so we scope and price each Coppell project individually rather than quote a flat rate. To plan around typical DFW ranges, use our cost estimator or the free remodel cost & permit guide.
- Is The Remo Guys licensed and insured?
- Texas doesn't issue a statewide license for residential general contractors, so the real assurance is one accountable team that's insured and bonded — which The Remo Guys has been since 2019. The state-licensed electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades on your project each pull and inspect their own permits under the build.
