At YOLO TV, we believe that the perfect backyard combines luxury, comfort, and cutting-edge entertainment. That's why we partner with industry leaders like T&D Construction/Outdoor Living to bring you the ultimate outdoor experience. Owned by the dynamic duo Tom and Dorris, T&D Construction specializes in crafting high-quality, luxurious outdoor living spaces. From patio covers and pergolas to decks, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and more, they transform ordinary backyards into extraordinary retreats.
We recently asked designer and co-owner of T&D Construction Dorris Richards what her expert tips are for maximizing your outdoor space in North Texas and what tops her list.
"Texas summers are long and hot," says Dorris. "A shade structure such as a patio cover or a pergola is essential.
They can actually drop the temperature by as much as 15 degrees, especially if you have ceiling fans." Not surprising, but outdoor kitchens are extremely popular and Richards says it’s all about the layout.

"Layout and location are critical," Dorris emphasizes. "You need to consider traffic flow, ventilation, and power requirements. Personally, I love a swim-up bar. Maximizing an outdoor space all comes down to the customer’s vision. You want to have definitive zones for seating, dining, cooking, and activity areas. Choosing the right furniture, having the right structure in place, and ensuring proper lighting are crucial parts of your outdoor living space."

The founder and owner Tom Richards has been in the construction business since 1985. He started T&D Construction with a passion for doing what he loves. “You have our commitment to quality in the most efficient way possible so that you and your family can get back to living” adds Tom who also knows the value of having a great place to entertain.
Tom and Dorris say you don’t want entertainment to be an afterthought while planning out your backyard. A well-designed outdoor living area should include:
TV
Audio system
Durable furniture
Outdoor lighting
Heating and cooling systems
