Arrow Outdoor Living, an outdoor living and design company in Broken Arrow, OK, is marking 5 years in service this year. The team has spent that time designing and building backyards across Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Bartlesville, Catoosa, and the surrounding areas. What started as a Broken Arrow shop with a focus on pergolas has grown into a full-service outdoor design and build company known around town as The Tulsa Pergola Builder™.
This milestone is a thank-you to every homeowner who trusted Arrow with their backyard, plus a chance to walk through what the team designs and builds. If you are looking at a new patio, pergola, outdoor kitchen, or full backyard transformation, here is what 5 years of designing and building in Broken Arrow looks like, and what to expect when you work with Arrow.
Five Years of Outdoor Design and Build in Broken Arrow
Arrow Outdoor Living, Inc. is headquartered right here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The team works with Northeast Oklahoma homeowners to design and build better outdoor living spaces, and the focus from day one has been thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and clear communication on every project.
The crew includes pergola builders, concrete installers, masons, frame carpenters, and landscape professionals, all working alongside the design team. That mix matters because most outdoor living projects touch more than one trade. A covered patio with a fireplace and an outdoor kitchen pulls in design, concrete, masonry, framing, and landscaping all on the same job. Having those skills under one roof keeps the design cohesive and the project on schedule.
Five years in, Arrow has earned many five-star Google reviews and built a reputation for fast, friendly quotes and quality work. The free on-site design consultation is still the starting point for every project, just like it was on day one.
What Outdoor Living Services Are Most Popular in Broken Arrow?
The most popular outdoor living services in Broken Arrow are pergolas and pavilions, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces, and full backyard landscape design. Arrow Outdoor Living designs and builds all of these, plus concrete, fencing, masonry, water features, and complete landscape projects. Here is a closer look at what the team designs and builds.
Structures: Pergolas and Pavilions
Pergolas and pavilions are Arrow’s flagship category. Open-beam pergolas add definition and partial shade to a patio. Pavilions go a step further with a full roof, turning the backyard into a true all-weather room. The design team works in cedar and other premium materials, often tying new structures into existing patios or new outdoor kitchens. See the full structure options on the structures service page.
Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen turns a patio into the place everyone wants to be. Arrow designs everything from a built-in grill island to a full kitchen with bar seating, refrigeration, and storage. Most outdoor kitchens get designed into a covered structure so the space works year-round.
Outdoor Fireplaces
An outdoor fireplace anchors a backyard for cooler evenings, and Arrow designs floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces that turn a patio into a year-round gathering space. The team also builds smaller fire pits and fire bowls when a full fireplace is not the right fit. Arrow handles wood-burning, natural gas, and propane setups, and every outdoor fireplace is designed around the layout of the patio and the homeowner’s hosting style.
Pavers and Concrete
The base of nearly every outdoor living project is the patio itself. Arrow designs and installs paver patios in a wide range of styles, plus stamped, stained, and standard concrete patios. The right choice comes down to budget, look, and how the patio ties into the rest of the home. Both options last for decades when designed and installed correctly.
Masonry and Water Features
Custom masonry shows up everywhere in outdoor living, including outdoor fireplace facades, seat walls, retaining walls, columns, and stone accents on pergolas. Arrow’s masonry team handles the design detail work that makes a backyard feel finished. Water features add the finishing touch, whether the design calls for a small bubbling fountain or a larger pondless waterfall.
Landscaping
Hardscape only gets you halfway there. Arrow’s landscape design team rounds out every outdoor living project with the right plants, trees, and beds for the Oklahoma climate. The result is a backyard that looks intentional, not pieced together.
Fencing
Arrow also designs and builds fences. Cedar privacy fences, treated pine, chain link, and ornamental iron are all on the menu, and the team designs, builds, replaces, and repairs every type. The fencing service page has the full breakdown, plus a free fence cost calculator.
How Do You Choose an Outdoor Living Contractor in Broken Arrow?
Choose an outdoor living contractor in Broken Arrow by checking their track record, verifying licensing and insurance, getting at least three written quotes, and looking at completed designs in your area. The Better Business Bureau’s contractor hiring guide covers the full vetting process in detail, but here is what matters most for a Broken Arrow outdoor living project.
Start with track record. A design and build company that has been working in your area for several years has a portfolio you can drive past, references you can call, and a reputation that has been tested by Oklahoma weather. Ask how long the company has been in business and how many projects they complete in a typical year.
Look at reviews from real homeowners. Google reviews and Better Business Bureau profiles both show how a company handles real projects, real timelines, and real follow-up. Pay attention to how the company responds to any negative feedback, since that says as much as the five-star reviews.
Get the scope in writing. A solid quote covers design, materials, labor, timeline, payment schedule, permits, and cleanup. If the bid is vague, the project will feel vague too. A clear contract protects both sides and keeps the build on track.
Check the design process itself. Outdoor living projects are visual, so a company that walks you through the layout, materials, and design details before breaking ground is worth more than one that hands over a price and disappears. The best outcomes come from collaborative design, and that is the standard Arrow holds for every project. Curious how design choices affect resale value? Arrow’s post on how much value a custom patio adds to a Tulsa home walks through it.
How Long Does an Outdoor Living Project Take in Tulsa or Broken Arrow?
Most outdoor living projects in Tulsa or Broken Arrow take 2 to 8 weeks from groundbreaking to completion, on top of the design phase up front. A simple patio might wrap up in a week, while a full backyard transformation with a pavilion, outdoor kitchen, and landscaping can take longer. Design complexity, weather, permitting, material lead times, and the size of the build all affect the timeline.

The Arrow Design Process
Every Arrow project starts the same way. The team comes out for a free on-site design consultation, walks the yard, listens to the homeowner’s goals, and takes measurements. From there, the design phase pulls together materials, layout, and pricing into a clear, detailed quote.
Once the design is approved, scheduling and permits move forward. The crew shows up on the agreed start date, works the project through to completion, and cleans up the site at the end of every day. Communication stays open from the first design walk-through to the final punch list.
The whole process is built around thoughtful design, fast and friendly quotes, and clean execution. Arrow keeps the design team and the build crew local and in-house, which is part of how the company has earned strong five-star reviews from homeowners across Northeast Oklahoma over the past 5 years.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Backyards in Broken Arrow
Outdoor living and design keep evolving in Northeast Oklahoma. Homeowners are leaning into bigger structures, more usable square footage, and full outdoor kitchens that work as a second living room. Outdoor fireplaces and water features are showing up on more designs, and quality fencing and masonry are getting more attention as homeowners invest in their backyards for the long haul. Arrow’s outdoor living trends to expect in 2026 covers where the market is heading and what is worth budgeting for.
