Oxford, Mississippi is a place where life slows down in the best possible way — Friday nights on the Square, college football Saturdays, long summer evenings with neighbors gathering on the porch. But what happens when your own backyard doesn’t match the lifestyle you love? What happens when the space behind your home is underutilized, uninviting, or simply unfinished?
At Tekton Exteriors Mississippi, we specialize in turning ordinary Oxford backyards into fully functional, beautifully designed outdoor living spaces. Whether you’re dreaming of a shaded pergola, a complete outdoor kitchen, a fire pit gathering area, or a hardscaped patio with custom lighting — we design and build it all, right here in Oxford, MS.
Our team understands Mississippi’s climate: the summer humidity, the afternoon thunderstorms, the mild winters that stretch your outdoor season well into November. Every project we build is designed to perform in those conditions year after year, using materials selected for durability, low maintenance, and long-term value. From initial design consultation to the final walkthrough, Tekton Exteriors handles your project with the same care we’d give our own homes.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your outdoor space, this is the page that lays out everything we do — and why Oxford homeowners consistently trust us to bring their vision to life.
There’s a reason the outdoor kitchen has become one of the most requested home upgrades in Mississippi. It extends your entertaining space, keeps the heat and smoke outside during summer cookouts, and adds real, measurable value to your property. A well-built outdoor kitchen isn’t just a grill on a patio — it’s a complete culinary station designed to handle everything from weeknight dinners to weekend parties.
Tekton Exteriors designs and builds fully custom outdoor kitchens in Oxford and across North Mississippi. We’re not installing a prefabricated kit — we’re constructing a kitchen that fits your specific space, your cooking habits, and your aesthetic preferences.
What We Include in Your Outdoor Kitchen Build:
Every outdoor kitchen we build is engineered for your specific property and lifestyle. We handle structural foundations, electrical rough-in coordination, plumbing connections, and all finishing work in one seamless project.
If you’re also considering improving the exterior of your home alongside your outdoor build, explore our siding installation and replacement services to complete the look from every angle.
Most homeowners don’t think about outdoor lighting until it’s dark and they realize their beautiful new patio disappears at sunset. Outdoor lighting is not an afterthought — it’s one of the most impactful elements of a complete outdoor living space, extending usability into evening hours and dramatically improving both safety and curb appeal.
Tekton Exteriors installs full outdoor lighting systems throughout Oxford, MS, coordinated with your overall outdoor project:
Path & Stair Lighting — Low-voltage fixtures embedded along walkways, garden paths, and staircase edges. These improve safety and create a welcoming visual effect after dark.
Tree & Wall Uplighting — Architectural-grade uplighting aimed at mature trees, stone walls, pergola columns, and home exterior features. Uplighting creates depth and drama in your landscape that can’t be achieved any other way.
Patio & Pergola Lighting — String lights, recessed canopy fixtures, pendant lighting, and LED strip systems installed on pergolas, pavilions, and covered patio structures. We design lighting layers that balance ambient illumination with task lighting over kitchen and dining areas.
All of our lighting systems use weatherproof, outdoor-rated fixtures and are connected to low-voltage or line-voltage systems appropriate for the application. We coordinate with licensed electricians on any line-voltage work to ensure everything meets Mississippi code requirements.
Good outdoor lighting ties your entire project together. Whether you’ve invested in a full outdoor kitchen, a new pergola, or simply a refreshed patio and fire pit, proper lighting ensures you get value from that investment seven days a week — not just during daylight hours.
We could list credentials and certifications all day. But what really matters is what it feels like to work with a contractor — and what you get when the project is done.
Here’s what sets Tekton Exteriors apart in Oxford, MS:
We Know Mississippi. Our designs account for summer heat, afternoon thunderstorms, mild winters, and the kind of humidity that destroys materials not properly chosen for this climate. Every product and material we recommend is selected with Oxford’s conditions in mind.
One Team, One Project. We don’t subcontract your outdoor kitchen to one company, your pergola to another, and your hardscaping to a third. Our team manages your entire outdoor living project from design to completion — which means better coordination, fewer delays, and one point of contact throughout.
Licensed & Insured. All work is performed by a licensed residential contractor, fully insured, with detailed contracts and documentation before any work begins.
Transparent Pricing. We provide detailed, itemized quotes — no vague “starting at” numbers. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before we break ground.
Free Consultations & Estimates. We offer complimentary on-site consultations and no-obligation estimates for all outdoor living projects in Oxford and surrounding North Mississippi communities.
Warranty-Backed Workmanship. Every project comes with workmanship coverage so that if something isn’t right after we leave, we come back and make it right.
We serve Oxford, Tupelo, Batesville, Holly Springs, and communities throughout North and Central Mississippi. If you’re located in the Oxford area and ready to talk about your outdoor living project, we’re ready to listen.
Our work outdoors also connects with the broader exterior of your home. Many clients who work with us on outdoor spaces also take the opportunity to address storm damage, siding issues, or gutter repairs at the same time — maximizing their investment and keeping the whole property in top condition.
Your backyard has more potential than you’re currently using. Oxford’s climate, your lifestyle, and your investment deserve an outdoor space that’s designed with intention and built to last.
Tekton Exteriors Mississippi is ready to make that happen.

In many cases, yes — especially for structures attached to your home, gas-line work, and electrical installation. Tekton Exteriors handles all permit coordination as part of your project. We know Oxford’s local code requirements and manage the process on your behalf.
For cooking surfaces: granite and porcelain tile rated for freeze-thaw cycles. For cabinetry: powder-coated aluminum or marine-grade polymer. For decking: composite materials over wood in high-humidity areas. For pergolas: aluminum for maximum longevity, cedar if natural aesthetics are the priority. We’ll guide you toward the right choices for your specific project during your consultation.
Absolutely. Many clients start with a pergola or fire pit and add an outdoor kitchen or hardscaping in a later phase. We design with future phases in mind so that expansion feels natural and planned rather than patched together.
Our outdoor living spaces are designed to be low-maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional sealing of surfaces will keep your space looking great. We also provide tips for maintaining your new outdoor kitchen, patio, or hardscape area to ensure it remains in top condition.
