Six Water Features That Work in a Small Oxford Backyard
A small lot does not rule out moving water. Here are six features sized for courtyards, townhome patios and narrow side yards around Oxford, with rough costs and upkeep.

Tekton Exteriors is a licensed and insured exterior contractor in Oxford, MS, working on the parts of a house that take the weather head-on: the roof, the walls, the gutters, the windows and doors, and the outdoor spaces you live in from spring through fall. We started in Oxford and North Mississippi and now also serve homeowners across the Jackson Metro. Whether you are chasing down a leak after a spring storm, planning a full re-side, or finally building the covered patio you have sketched for years, this page explains what we do, how a project runs from first call to final walkthrough, and how we help when storm damage turns into an insurance claim.

Emergency leak help & insurance documentation
Most exterior problems start small and get expensive because nobody looked closely early on. Our approach is built around catching the real cause and explaining it in plain terms before anyone talks about price.
From a single leak to a complete tear-off, our roofing services cover architectural shingle, metal, and low-slope systems such as TPO and EPDM, along with ventilation, flashing and roof coatings. We look at attic airflow on every replacement, because trapped summer heat shortens the life of even good shingles.
We replace and repair vinyl, insulated vinyl, wood, board-and-batten and James Hardie fiber cement siding, plus the trim, soffit and fascia that tie it together. Seamless gutters, guards and properly placed downspouts move heavy rain away from your foundation instead of letting it soak the red clay around it. Learn more about siding installation and replacement.
Drafty, fogged or hard-to-open windows waste energy and invite moisture. We install replacement and new-construction windows, including several Pella window series, along with entry doors and sliding or hinged patio doors, with careful flashing so the opening stays dry.
Our outdoor living crews build pergolas, pavilions, covered porches and patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, decks, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, lighting and water features, designed to give you shade and usable space through a long Mississippi summer.

Explore outdoor living & hardscapingHail, straight-line winds and falling limbs are a regular part of spring in Mississippi, and tropical systems moving inland can bring days of wind-driven rain. When a storm hits, we offer emergency roof leak response to tarp or temporarily seal openings and limit interior damage.
After that, we inspect the roof, siding, gutters and windows and document what we find with photos and measurements. If you file a claim, we can share that documentation, meet your adjuster on site, and help explain the scope of repairs so nothing obvious gets missed. You stay in control of the claim; our role is to make the damage clear and the repair accurate. Read more about our insurance claim assistance or request a free storm inspection.

Hot water holds less oxygen, algae thrives and evaporation speeds up. This summer checklist keeps a Mississippi pond clear and its fish healthy through August.
Both give you the sound of falling water. One adds fish and lilies; the other skips the open water and most of the upkeep. Here is how to choose for a Mississippi yard.
