Frequently Asked Questions

Our family and team know that your backyard is not just a place outside to hang out; it is a gathering place for your family. Your outdoor living space should be where you and your family can come together and spend quality time outdoors. Here is a list of our most frequently asked questions, and if you still need help, please give us a call at (817) 618-0080.

Why named Panther City?

Panther City is a nickname for our beloved city of Fort Worth, and we claim this city proudly! The nickname’s origin dates back to 1875 when the rivalry between Dallas and Fort Worth was just as intense as it is today. A column was published in the Dallas Daily Herald reporting that Fort Worth was such a sleepy town nobody seemed to notice a giant panther roaming the streets of downtown. Instead of taking insult, our city boldly took ownership of the report and had since proudly claimed ourselves to be Panther City!

Permits

If your homeowner’s association requires approval and city permits, we help with the process, including documents for HOA and City Planning. Some projects require engineering (structural and drainage), and we can assist in acquiring that as well.

What kind of BBQ Equipment do you recommend?

Everyone uses their outdoor space differently. We will walk you through the selection process at our showroom at The Collective Outdoors. You will be able to touch and feel all the equipment to understand better what would work best for your space. We will also provide a 3D design rendering before installation.

Can you mount a TV for us?

Yes we can, and we also work with an Audio Video company if you want to automate your new backyard.

Can we add electrical for a fan or lights?

For most jobs, we add electrical (for fans or lights) or plumbing (for a gas line or outdoor sink). We can include that in the project to provide a turn-key project.

How does the process work?

At Panther City Arbor & Patio, we get to know our customers. When you build with us, you get a project developer who will get to know you, your goals, and your style and oversee your entire outdoor living project from start to finish. Click HERE to read all about our process.

Will I need to move sprinkler heads before you pour our new patio?

We work weekly with a local sprinkler company to move irrigation before construction starts, adjust coverage for the addition, and test the entire system at the end of the job. We include relocating the irrigation for the project if required with our quote. We will estimate additional work for another part of the property.
