BACKYARD REMODELING · WIXON VALLEY
Backyard Remodeling in Wixon Valley, TX
Updating an existing backyard — a bigger patio, new beds, better drainage, a shade structure — without starting the whole yard over. We work across Wixon Valley — FM 2776, Highway 21 / US 190 corridor, Wickson Creek and the surrounding area.
SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Patio expansions and replacements
Extending a small builder slab with pavers or stone, or taking out a cracked patio and rebuilding it on a proper base.
Beds and borders
Reshaping tired beds, cutting new ones, and setting stone or block borders that hold a line against the lawn.
Drainage corrections
Fixing the grade or adding a French drain so the new work does not sit in the same water the old work did.
One or two new features
A fire pit, a pergola, a walkway to the gate — added so they fit the yard that is already there.

Why people call about this.
The yard is dated, not broken
The layout mostly works, but the surfaces are worn and the plantings are overgrown. That is a remodel, not a rebuild.
The patio is too small to use
Builder slabs in Bryan and College Station often fit a grill and two chairs. Extending them is one of the most common requests we get.
Something keeps failing
Settling pavers, a soggy corner, a bed that washes out. In Brazos County clay the cause is usually water, and it gets fixed first.
WIXON VALLEY, TX
Backyard Remodeling in Wixon Valley: what’s different here.
Wixon Valley is a small rural city of about 230 people (228 at the 2020 census), roughly four miles northeast of Bryan. It grew up as a Bryan suburb in the mid-1980s, incorporated around 1988, and its name is likely a variant of Wickson, the 1840s settler family that also named nearby Wickson Creek. Wixon Valley handles septic permits inside its own city limits rather than through the Brazos County Health District, Wickson Creek can flood roads after heavy rain, and digging starts with a Texas811 locate.
Outdoor Living in Wixon Valley
Rural lots give room for covered patios and outdoor kitchens set back from the road, ideally on the higher ground away from the creek.
The ground
The city sits on post oak uplands cut by Wickson Creek and its branches, so low ground near the creek drains slowly and can flood, while higher ground has sandy soil over clay.
Homes and lots
Single-family homes on rural lots and small acreage rather than dense subdivisions.
