When a backyard gets full afternoon and evening sun, enjoying the outdoors becomes more of a chore than a treat. That’s exactly what this Sioux Falls family experienced, until they decided it was time for a complete backyard transformation. With a custom louvered pergola, retractable screens, and a backyard putting green, they now have an outdoor space that’s all of the fun and none of the fuss.


Year-Round Shade, Right Where They Need It
The west-facing patio once sat empty during the hottest parts of the day. Now, a luxury louvered pergola stretches across the back of the home, giving this family complete control over light and shade. With the press of a button, they can adjust the louvers to block the sun and rain, or let the warmth in on cooler days.
But we didn’t stop at shade. To make the space usable year-round, we also added:
- Motorized retractable screens that block late afternoon and evening sun, bugs, and South Dakota winds.
- Ceiling fans for airflow on humid days.
- Six infrared heaters to keep the chill off during fall, winter, and early spring.
Together, these features create a functional (and comfortable) backyard to enjoy in all four seasons!

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
Just steps from their patio door, the new covered space makes it easy to transition from the indoors to the outdoors. Whether they’re hosting guests or letting the kids play outside, this setup delivers convenience, comfort, and versatility. It’s the perfect way to extend their indoor living space to the outdoors.
This complete backyard transformation not only adds function but also brings a clean, modern, and low-maintenance design to the home’s exterior.
Custom Putting Green for the Win
To take the fun even further, we partnered with Dakota Putting Greens to install artificial turf and a custom backyard putting green. Now, dad can fine-tune his short game anytime and teach the kids how to play, too! It’s the perfect complement to a space designed for relaxation and recreation.
The Result: A Backyard That Works as Hard as You Do
With the new louvered pergola, retractable screens, and putting green, this once-overlooked yard is now the family’s favorite hangout. It’s easy to access, simple to use, and built to handle whatever the weather brings.
