Outdoor Living in Oklahoma City, OK

Rough Roots builds covered patios, grilling stations and outdoor rooms built for the months families actually spend outside for homeowners in Oklahoma City.

Your Oklahoma City Outdoor Living Builder

Oklahoma City is the metro's core, and the southwest neighborhoods closest to Mustang are where we do most of our OKC work, close enough that we're not driving in from an hour away. Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, entertaining spaces and full backyard builds. We design and build outdoor living areas that work with your home, extend your usable space and hold up through every Oklahoma season. In Oklahoma City, that means covered patios, grilling stations and outdoor rooms built for the months families actually spend outside. OKC soils run heavily to clay, so decks, fences and additions all get footings sized for ground that moves. Whether your home is one of Oklahoma City's established properties or a newer build, we scope the job to your lot and your budget, give you a firm price before we start, and build it to last.

Outdoor Living Questions in Oklahoma City

How much does a covered patio or outdoor kitchen cost in Oklahoma City, OK?

There is no flat price, because an outdoor living project in Oklahoma City can be anything from a simple covered patio to a full outdoor kitchen with a roof, gas, and electrical. Cost tracks with size, materials, and how many features you add. Tell us what you have in mind and request a free estimate, or text 405-887-1613 for a real number.

Do you handle permits for outdoor living in Oklahoma City, OK?

When a outdoor living project needs a permit, we file it through the City of Oklahoma City Development Services and coordinate any inspections, so you don't have to manage the paperwork.

Does Oklahoma City's soil affect a outdoor living project?

OKC soils run heavily to clay, so decks, fences and additions all get footings sized for ground that moves. That is why we set footings and posts properly instead of taking shortcuts, and it is what keeps the work straight and solid for years.

What is the difference between a pergola, a pavilion, and a covered patio?

A pergola has an open or slatted roof that gives partial shade and an open feel. A pavilion is a freestanding structure with a full solid roof, and a covered patio is a roofed space usually attached to the back of your house. If you want full rain and sun cover for a kitchen or seating area, a pavilion or covered patio is the better fit.

Is an outdoor kitchen worth it?

For a lot of homeowners it is, both for daily use and for resale. Outdoor kitchens tend to return a solid share of their cost, and they get the whole backyard used more, especially in a climate where you can cook outside most of the year. The payoff comes from building it to last, with materials and a roof that stand up to heat and weather.

Can I use a covered patio year round in Oklahoma?

Yes, and that is a big reason people build them here. A covered patio keeps sun and rain off in summer, and adding a fireplace, heaters, or screens stretches it into the colder months. Plan those in from the start and you get an outdoor room you use nearly all year.

How long does it take to build a covered patio or outdoor kitchen?

A straightforward covered patio usually takes one to two weeks, while a full outdoor kitchen with gas, electrical, and finishes takes longer because of the extra trades and inspections. Weather and permit timing play a part too. We lay out the schedule up front so you know what to expect.

Can you attach a covered patio to my existing house?

Yes. We tie a covered patio into your existing roofline and structure so it looks built-in instead of tacked on, and we flash and seal where the new roof meets the house so you do not get leaks. We can also run gas and electrical for lighting, fans, or a kitchen. Request a free estimate to talk it through.
