An established golf community
Tournament Hills homes range from the mid-2000s to recent builds, so backyards vary from bare dirt to fully finished. On lots near the golf course, view and privacy pull in opposite directions, so decide which matters more for each side of the yard before you start.
Patio covers
A cover that shades the patio without blocking the view from the house is the usual goal on golf-course lots. Keep posts out of the main sight line. Beaumont sits in the San Gorgonio Pass, so ask any cover installer what wind load the cover is engineered for and how the posts are anchored. More on patio covers.
Pavers and patios
On an older patio, check for settling and drainage before building onto it. A new paver patio should slope away from the house and keep the side-yard swale open. More on pavers.
Artificial turf
Turf replaces water-hungry lawn and keeps the yard green year-round. Secure edges well; wind and dust are part of life in the Pass. More on turf.
Landscaping
Low planting on the view side and taller shrubs or small trees for privacy elsewhere. Have older irrigation checked before replanting; leaks and misaimed heads waste the most water. More on landscaping.
HOA approval and drainage
Most master-planned communities like this one have an HOA with architectural review. Get the design guidelines from your HOA's management company before you collect quotes, and don't schedule work until approval is in writing. Keep the side-yard swale open, slope paving away from the house, and keep soil and paving below the weep screed at the base of the stucco. Our HOA, wind, and drainage guide covers the details.
Common questions
