One team designs it and builds it, and a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty stands behind it.

JOY SCORE — NAR 2023 REMODELING REPORT
Homeowners who complete outdoor living projects report a 9.7/10 Joy Score — and 68% report a greater desire to be home.
NOT SURE THIS IS THE YEAR?
That's fair. A lot of folks we meet have been thinking about it for three summers. Start by seeing it. Your free 3D rendering costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Design-Build Outdoor Living
Every pool, patio, kitchen, and fire feature designed as one cohesive space — so your backyard feels intentional, not assembled.

The place your kids never want to leave. Saturday afternoons that stretch into evenings. Your family's favorite place, right out back.

Shade that makes your outdoor space usable every day of the year. The structure that turns a patio into a living room.

Bug-free evenings under the stars. The comfort of indoors with the feeling of being outside. Just the evening, and everybody out there together.

The reason people stay outside after the sun goes down. Where conversations slow down and laughter comes easier.

Year-round comfort with the feeling of being outside. Glass-enclosed rooms that let the light in and keep the weather out.

A private guest suite, office, or rental on your own lot — designed to match the house and fit the setbacks, not a leftover shed out back.
LEARN MORE →Why Blue Tide
You're probably bracing for the usual backyard project: a few different crews, a few different schedules, and nobody owning it when something's off. With us it's one team, one contract, one Lifetime Workmanship Warranty, and one person you can call.
Blue Tide is a design-build firm with six Louisiana state licenses. We handle the pool, the patio, the kitchen, the pergola, the screen enclosure, the roofing, the siding, and the concrete — all under one contract, with one lifetime workmanship warranty.

01
DREAM IT
We ask, then we listen. How does your family actually use the yard now, and what bugs you about it? Your answers draw the plan. Our catalog doesn't.
02
SEE IT
We create a photorealistic 3D rendering of your entire backyard. Pool, patio, kitchen, pergola — all in context. Adjust everything before committing.
03
PRICE IT
You get a phased design plan PDF and a detailed estimate. Build everything at once or phase it over time. Your investment, your timeline.
04
LIVE IT
One team handles every trade: pool, masonry, electrical, gas, roofing. You get one warranty and one person to call.
FIRE FEATURES & PERGOLAS
Fire pits, fireplaces, and pergolas that transform your patio into the gathering place your family gravitates toward every evening. The difference between a backyard you visit and a backyard you live in.

Built for Louisiana
You want a backyard that holds up to Louisiana summers, heavy rain, and the occasional freeze. We've been building for exactly that since 2018, on 24+ years in construction.
Keep the evening and lose the mosquitoes. Our screen enclosures are engineered for 130+ mph winds and built to last decades.
Engineered steel reinforcement, proper drainage, and hydrostatic pressure relief. Our pools are structurally designed to handle shifting ground conditions without cracking.
Founded by Jordan Strader right here in Shreveport. We serve Shreveport, Bossier City, and 22 surrounding towns across North Louisiana & East Texas.
Why We Design in 3D
Drag the slider to see your yard become the place your family gathers. Every project starts with a free photorealistic 3D rendering, so you see it before anything's built.

THE DIFFERENCE
Pool-only builders leave you coordinating multiple separate contractors. Low-bid builders cut corners you can't see. Blue Tide handles your entire backyard — pool, patio, kitchen, pergola, screens — with one team, one contract, and one warranty. No finger-pointing, no gaps, no surprises.
