The BackyardHQ story begins with our parent company, Horizon Building Systems (HBS). They began selling and manufacturing portable storage buildings in 1986. Later, patio furniture, hot tubs, above ground swimming pools and pool tables were added to their retail stores (called The Backyard Store) in 1989. About this time they also began selling and installing carports, patio covers and sunrooms. At one point, the Backyard Store had 3 locations in San Antonio , Texas and 1 in Corpus Christi , Texas along with our Portable Building manufacturing plant.

Internet Shopping - You Bet!

In 1997 our HBS the company’s first web site, Patiostore.com, went online selling patio furniture and game room items. Since then Patiostore.com has grown to include departments selling greenhouses, portable structures, sports logo items, toys, home improvement equipment, swimming pools, patio furniture, surplus items and much more. Due to the huge success of the internet business, HBS closed its retail locations and sold the portable building manufacturing business to focus solely on internet businesses. The Backyard Store now operates online and out of our office building and warehouses in San Antonio , Texas .

Next, BackyardHQ arrived on the scene.

Originally, HBS operated a greenhouse and gardening supply store on the web at www.greenhousebuilder.com. Since then, this division has split off from HBS and now is known as BackyardHQ. Now we can be found at www.4seasongreenhouse.com, one of several BackyardHQ websites that we will be introducing soon. The staffers at BackyardHQ have many years of greenhouse and internet retail based experience so you can be assured your transactions with us will be safe, secure and worry free.

Our vision for www.4seasongreenhouse.com is to create an online gardening community, filled with our growing experiences so our customers have all the information they need to grow successfully. We have big plans for the site and will be adding more features, such as a Grower’s Club and many more gardening products as we go along. We have been gardening since 1968, in our backyards, greenhouses and commercially. When you call us you will get a real “down-in-the-dirt” gardener/horticulturist. We can help you determine which greenhouse is best for you based on what you grow, where you grow it and how much you have budgeted for it. We have specialized assistance in home gardening, greenhouse gardening, composting, and novice gardeners. We also offer assistance to commercial growers.
