Backyard Transformations in Kurten, TX
Full design-build backyard makeovers — grading, drainage, patio, shade, beds, and lawn planned together and built in the right order. We work across Kurten — FM 2038, Highway 21 / US 190 corridor, Kurten Cemetery Road 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.
A layout for the whole yard
Where you sit, cook, walk, and play, and how the pieces connect to each other and to the back door.
Grading and drainage first
Reshaping the ground and setting drain lines before anything is built, so the finished yard sheds a Brazos Valley downpour.
Hardscape and structures
Paver or stone patios, walkways, retaining and seat walls, decks, and pergolas, built on compacted bases.
Beds, lawn, and finish
New beds, stone borders, and sod or seed to tie it together, with the site cleaned up at the end.

Why people call about this.
A new house with a bare yard
Builder sod, a small slab, and nothing else. The best time to plan the whole yard is before pieces get added one at a time.
The yard does not work for how you live
No shade, no place to gather, a lawn nobody uses. Fixing that means rethinking the layout, not patching it.
Several problems at once
Drainage, a failing patio, and overgrown beds are cheaper to solve in one plan than in three separate projects.
KURTEN, TX
Backyard Transformations in Kurten: what’s different here.
Kurten is a small town of about 400 people (395 at the 2020 census), roughly ten miles northeast of Bryan where Highway 21, US 190, and FM 2038 meet. It was settled by German immigrants in the 1860s, incorporated in 2000, and is mostly owner-occupied country homes on acreage. Kurten has its own zoning ordinance, and construction inside city limits needs a Land Use Permit through the Town Clerk’s office; septic systems are permitted through the Brazos County Health District.
Outdoor Living in Kurten
With acreage and shade from mature oaks, Kurten outdoor living spaces are often large covered patios set to look out over the property.
The ground
Kurten is in the Post Oak Savannah, with sandy soils over a clay subsoil under post oak woods, so trees, roots, and a clay layer a short way down shape most outdoor work.
Homes and lots
Country homes on three to five acres and larger tracts along FM 2038 and Highway 21, with very few small town lots.
