I ordered a custom 280 sq ft backyard storage shed from Johnny's Backyard Houston in late November…read more2025. The sales rep (Tyler) conducted a site visit, measured the area, and created CAD designs showing outward-swinging French doors (which I specifically wanted for aesthetics and to not take away such a large amount of usable area). When I asked about permits, I was told the shed was "movable" (not on a slab/foundation) and no permit would be required. Construction began, but I returned home to a City of Houston stop-work notice on my door dated December 4, 2025. The shed remains incomplete, unusable, and non-compliant 80+ days later. I immediately notified the company. They repeatedly assured me permitting was "submitted" and "pending". They invoiced me $125 for the City permit fee on December 17, 2025--I paid immediately. Their Operations Manager emailed December 30 saying they were "working with the city" and had submitted documentation. That same day, the application was rejected for incompleteness (missing site plan, impervious cover calculation, grading worksheet, wall sections, wind load info, flood data, etc.). Despite my repeated follow-ups I received zero responses--complete ghosting. For over 65 days after paying the permit fee, there was essentially one substantive communication from the company. I sent a formal breach-of-contract notice January 11, 2026, with a full timeline and 14-day cure period. Instead of resolving or completing the job, I received a lawyer's letter January 15 threatening legal action if I didn't drop my credit card chargeback (initiated due to the ongoing issues) and confirm no further disputes. Their response claimed the contract has "no completion date" and "once construction has commenced, no refund--partial or full--shall be issued under any circumstances." I paid for a shed with outward swinging French doors, a full 150 amp electrical package, and full spray foam insulated interior. I paid $20,300 to them, which I know is quite the premium, so that I could have a premium build. I work too much to do this on my own. Yet here it sits 2.5 months later unfinished and they're still taking the money. On January 23, 2026, I personally submitted a new permit application under my own name. Within less than two weeks, it passed preliminary review and Code Enforcement checks (February 3) with no corrections required--while their application has sat dead since December 30, 2025. I achieved this as a non-expert (I'm a pilot, not a contractor) using the same public guidance available to them all along. I extended another opportunity for them to retrieve the shed and restore my property (deadline February 4, 2026)--ignored completely. The pattern is clear: assurances of permitting help, acceptance of a dedicated fee, claims of progress, then total abandonment, silence, and threats via counsel when I sought resolution. I was left to fix their mess at significant personal cost (lost billable work days, months of stress, items stored indoors, hiring an attorney). This is not the professional experience one expects from a custom shed builder serving the Houston area. If you're considering Johnny's Backyard, be prepared for potential communication blackouts, permitting issues, non-conforming work, and aggressive legal responses instead of accountability. Document everything and know your rights under Texas consumer law. They took over $20,000 from me and haven't even attempted to finish the job. They've made no efforts to cure the problem. They've only threatened with a lawyer to keep the money for services not provided. Make sure you read their own statements. I paid $20,300 upfront for a shed, designed by them and agreed to by me, with docusign, and their argument is they don't have to offer what we agreed to, there's no completion date on a contract, and they don't have to give any money back once they started a project. They've left a shell on my property, have done absolutely NOTHING to resolve the issue, and still want the money. Would not recommend.

We visited with our two littles recently, for our first time…read more The place is very large and mostly clean. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and happy to help. This is a very religious establishment and they have religious music playing and some religious things on display. We paid for a weekend experience for two kiddos, which was more expensive than weekly play (which was anticipated). One adult was "free" because we have a little under 3 yrs. We opted for the all-day pass for $4 more each, under the impression we could leave and have dinner, then return. Then, we were asked if we wanted the Arrow's Active socks and we said "no" because we brought our own non grip socks. We were told Arrow's active socks are mandatory for all guests accessing the play area, and no outside socks were allowed. So we reluctantly agreed and purchased 3 for $3 each because we had no other choice. Also, since my husband was a spectator, he was an additional $5. After being charged, while our bands were being put on, we were told the all day pass is only good while in the establishment and if we leave for any period of time, our bands will be removed and we cannot return (unless it was extremely brief). I told the lady I would have liked to know that before because it's very very misleading. I've never bought an "all-day" pass where I was not allowed to come and go as I pleased and I would have liked to make a decision based on their rules, rather than what was advertised. I did not look at their food items nor cafe menu because we ate shortly before going, but the fountain drinks were from an Austin supplier who makes their soda with real ingredients, which I appreciate and love. My husband wanted to work while we played, but there were no outlets around the main seating area. There were staff spot cleaning inside the play area during play time. I'm not sure if they clean periodically throughout the day or if they clean x number of hours before close every day once a day. There was a bucket of solution a staff member was using to clean within the play area, which I can foresee being a problem if it spills for some reason, but she did hide it under an area near where she was cleaning, so she was being safe about it. Knowing they do clean is extremely comforting and very much appreciated. There are some very hard to reach places that were extremely dusty, but they weren't in reach, just in view. Restrooms were nice and clean. Overall kiddos had a lot of fun. Just be prepared to pay the up charge for the weekend (if visiting on a weekend), an up charge for mandatory socks ($3 each), an up charge for any spectators with you ($5 each), an up charge for all day play ($4 each pass) and remember you cannot leave and return on the same ticket purchase.

Everything is super maintained than most parks I've been before! I usually go with my MIL, my baby girl and our dogs to get them some exercise as well and try to do 1-2 miles each time we are here. Depending on what trails you walk/hike on, theres some with shade and some that you will hit up the blazing sun, but with fall upon it hasn't been horrible! Everyone who hikes here are really respectful with the trails/area which is such a pleasant thing as there's usually not a lot of people who do that now a days. Will of course be returning weekly to get our steps in and vitamin D!

Good information about the park too and didn't feel I would get lost either (good flat paths you can take). I barely saw any trash flying around either and could tell they keep this park well kept. I absolutely plan to come back here in the future when I have time. Definitely worth the visit!
