Luxury Backyard Design · DFW & Nationwide

Backyards built for how you actually live.

I'm Chad Dalida. I'm in the highest-end backyards in Dallas–Fort Worth every week, designing custom pools, outdoor kitchens and full transformations with homeowners who want it done right the first time.

What I Design

One vision for the whole backyard.

Most backyards fail because every piece got designed separately. I plan the pool, the kitchen, the shade and the game space as one space, around how your family uses it.

01

Custom Pools & Spas

Architectural shapes, raised and floating spas, sun shelves, water and fire features.

02

Outdoor Kitchens

Built for real entertaining: layout, flow, bar seating and the details people forget.

03

Pergolas & Outdoor Living

Shade structures and covered living spaces that feel like part of the house.

04

Fireplaces & Fire Features

Cozy outdoor fireplaces, fire pits and linear fire that make the yard work year-round.

05

Sport Courts & Fields

Pickleball, basketball, volleyball and soccer, designed into the yard, not dropped on it.

06

Full Backyard Builds

Ground-up transformations and home projects of every size, planned start to finish.

How It Works

Clear steps. No surprises.

You'll know what you're building, why it's laid out that way, and a realistic range before anything gets committed.

03

Design & range

A layout built around your life, with honest ranges and the factors that move the number.

Plan the build

A clear scope and timeline so you know exactly what happens next and when.

“Starting over after 40 wasn't the plan. It turned out to be the best decision I've made.”— Chad Dalida
The Story

Built businesses. Sold them. Started over.

I've spent my career in luxury backyard sales and design: leading sales teams, running offices, and building and exiting businesses of my own.

Now I'm back where I love it most: in the backyard with homeowners, turning a blank lot into the place everyone wants to be. ChadDesignz is where I share all of it: the builds, the design thinking, the sales side, and the rebuild.

No corporate pitch. Just a guy who's in these backyards every week, telling you what works and what doesn't.
