A DALLAS CONTRACTOR RESEARCH PILOT

Find the projects
worth a closer look.

City permits are public. Finding the few that might fit your crew takes time. We're testing a source-linked brief for Dallas patio, deck, and outdoor-living contractors.

Ask for the 20-record sample See what we found

ONE LIVE DATA CHECK · OCTOBER 24, 2026

What the first 20 records actually showed.

We reviewed the 20 newest Dallas residential pool/spa permits in a recent sample and read their published work descriptions. This is a relevance check, not a list of available jobs.

2named pavers or a surrounding deck

1named a grill area, with surface work unclear

17did not specify hardscape work

Open bids verified: none. That means availability is unknown for all 20; it does not mean no work exists.
