MASB Construction & Remodeling completed this custom outdoor living project in Norman, OK, featuring a large concrete patio, elevated composite deck, wide multi-level steps, integrated deck lighting, and modern pergola structures with privacy slat walls. The pool was existing, but our team built the surrounding concrete, deck system, lighting, and outdoor features that transformed the backyard into a clean, functional space for relaxing and entertaining. Designed for both daytime use and evening enjoyment, this project added style, durability, and long-term value to the home.

This project transformed an existing outdoor space into a functional, all-season retreat with the addition of a custom waterproof pergola system. Built using white UCS panels with an integrated gutter, the structure provides reliable weather protection while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
The pergola was constructed on the home’s existing 6x6 pressure-treated posts, originally part of a trellis system, allowing for an efficient build while preserving the existing framework. Structural flexibility was built into the design, including provisions for an additional support post and potential height adjustments to ensure long-term performance and adaptability.
To enhance comfort and usability, integrated lighting and a patio heater were added, extending the functionality of the space into the evening and cooler months.
The end result is a refined outdoor living area that combines durability, protection from the elements, and year-round comfort—all while seamlessly blending with the home’s existing structure.

This project focused on creating a clean, ultra low maintenance outdoor environment that seamlessly builds upon the home’s recent remodel. The rear yard was thoughtfully expanded by incorporating a previously unused and vacated easement area, allowing us to extend the usable space by nearly ten feet and significantly improve overall flow and functionality. The design emphasizes simple lines, durable materials, and low water plantings for long term ease of care. In the front yard, we refreshed the landscape with new planting and replaced inconsistent lawn areas with a stable rock ground cover, creating a more polished look with greater durability and reduced upkeep.

This backyard remodel was designed with clean, geometric lines to create a modern, organized outdoor space that feels open and intentional.

Careful attention was given to alignment, transitions, and proportions to ensure everything feels balanced and cohesive. The result is a polished outdoor area that highlights simplicity, function, and long-term ease of maintenance.
