Like many Texans, Kirk and Suzie Boyd like to take advantage of the pleasant weather that we’re blessed with most of the year. They had this in mind when choosing their home site, which gives them a great view of the neighborhood’s greenbelt. When it was time to start planning their outdoor living areas, Extreme Exteriors was recommended by their homebuilder.
Suzie and Kirk initially met with Randy Glenn, company president, and expressed their desires to include 
a water 
feature and a firepit in the design. Because the Boyd’s had a new home built, they were also interested in a landscape plan for the front and back yards. “Randy jumped right on it,” Kirk said. “And as changes were made to the initial design, the designers immediately got back to me.” The Boyd’s wanted to xeriscape large areas of the front and backyard, choosing some sod to complement the look. A variety of plants including Mexican feather grass, vitex, and golden esperanza were added to create plenty of visual interest.
One challenge that arose during construction was the placement of one of the pergolas. The pergola pictured here is actually the second one built. The first pergola went further out over the water feature and Kirk and Suzie were very happy with how it looked. Unfortunately, city planners took issue with its proximity to property lines and it had to be taken down. This second one was built at a slightly modified location. Kirk was happy with the way that the Extreme Exteriors team was able to manage this unforeseen challenge. “When there were issues with the pergola, everything was just taken care of. If I had a question, someone answered it in a friendly way.”
The Boyd’s now have a unique and beautiful outdoor living space. Kirk expressed how he’s happy with everything that Extreme Exteriors created, and hopes that anyone who’s thinking of enhancing their outdoors will take us into consideration. We’re so pleased that Kirk and Suzie trusted us to help make their new home look absolutely amazing; and we hope they’ll create many happy memories as they enjoy their new outdoor living areas.
