Cedar Park backyard with a pergola-mounted Big Tex misting fan cooling the patio and open lawn
Residential Backyard
Cedar Park, TX

Cedar Park backyard turned into the envy of the neighborhood

This family wanted their whole backyard usable in summer — not just the shaded deck. We paired a pergola-mounted 24" misting fan with an 18" fan and a run of additional nozzles, cooling roughly 300 sq ft of patio plus the open lawn where the kids play. The result: a space comfortable enough to host a birthday party in near-100° heat.

Property type
Single-family residence
Coverage area
~300 sq ft patio + open lawn
Fans
24" + 18" misting fans (8 nozzles each)
Pump
1000 PSI high-pressure pump
"My backyard is now the envy of the neighborhood. Jonathan designed the perfect setup within my budget — we hosted my son's 3rd birthday in late June and even in near-100° heat, everyone stayed comfortable outside the whole time."
— Max S., Cedar Park
Big Tex misting fans cooling the covered upper deck at Solstice in Jonestown, overlooking the oak tree line
Restaurant & Bar Patio
Jonestown, TX

A Jonestown coffee-and-cocktail spot that stays full all summer

Solstice is an all-day, dog- and kid-friendly gathering spot with a big, multi-level patio tucked under the oaks near Lake Travis. To keep guests lingering through the Texas heat, we installed six Big Tex misting fans across the covered decks — cooling well over 1,500 sq ft of seating with a fine, dry mist and no fixed lines to run.

Business type
Coffee shop & cocktail bar
Coverage area
1,500+ sq ft of covered patio & deck
Fans
6 mounted misting fans
Nozzles
5 per fan — 30 stainless nozzles total
"Our whole concept is getting people to slow down and stay a while — and in a Texas summer that only works if the patio's comfortable. Big Tex laid the fans out so every seat under the oaks gets a cool breeze without anyone getting wet."
— Matt W., Solstice (Jonestown)

Built Different

The difference between a real install and a hardware-store kit

You've probably seen the $99 misting kits at the big box store. They run on your garden hose pressure (about 60 PSI), spray big droplets, and basically turn your patio into a wet mess.

Our systems run at 1000 PSI through engineered stainless-steel nozzles. The result is an ultra-fine, dry mist — droplets so small they flash-evaporate in the air, cooling everything around them without leaving water on you, your furniture, or your guests' food.

It's the same technology you'll find at major-league stadiums, theme parks, and high-end resort patios — built to commercial standards from the ground up.

Frequently Asked

Honest answers about misting systems

Will I get wet from a Big Tex misting system?

No. Our systems use commercial-grade 1000 PSI pumps and stainless-steel nozzles to produce a true ultra-fine mist. The water droplets are so small they flash-evaporate before they touch you, your furniture, or your drink — what you feel is cool air, not moisture.

How much cooler will my patio feel?

In typical Central Texas summer conditions you'll feel a noticeable temperature drop in the misted area. Performance is best when the air is hot and dry, which is exactly when you need it most.

What makes a real misting system different from a hardware-store kit?

Hardware-store kits are low-pressure and produce large droplets that get everything wet without cooling much. The commercial-grade systems we install run at 1000 PSI with stainless nozzles, sealed pumps, and engineered line layouts — the same equipment used at major-league ballparks, theme parks, and resorts.

Do you serve my city?
