When the Fall Home Expo opens November 6–8 at the Exchange Center at Expo Square, one Tulsa contractor’s name will be on the show itself and on the biggest prize inside it. Select Outdoor Solutions returns as title sponsor of Tulsa’s only fall home and garden show, and steps up as top prize provider in the show’s newest attraction, the Backyard Bonanza.
Builds Lasting Outdoor Beauty Locally owned and managed, Select Outdoor Solutions has built its reputation on outdoor work designed to last decades with minimal maintenance — anything made of concrete, steel, masonry or wood. That covers driveway replacement, patios and sidewalks, slabs and building pads, decorative stamping and staining, pergolas, pavilions and arbors, pergola cover systems, retaining walls, French drains, fire pits, fireplaces and outdoor kitchens. The company is fully insured, a Tulsa Home Builders Association member, and offers project financing along with a free on-site project review that produces a written scope of work and a detailed quote.
The newest addition to the lineup is permanent customizable eave and soffit lighting. Installed once along the eaves and soffits, the weather-resistant system is controlled from a smartphone app and can be set for architectural accent lighting, holiday color schemes for Christmas, Halloween and everything in between, party lighting, or steady overnight security lighting. For Oklahoma homeowners tired of hanging and pulling seasonal lights in fickle weather, it retires the ladder for good.
That same craftsmanship is what makes the Backyard Bonanza top prize worth the trip: a 10’ x 12’ heavy-timber Western Red Cedar pergola with a polycarbonate cover system, valued at $10,000 and built by Select Outdoor Solutions. The total Backyard Bonanza prize pool already exceeds $15,000, and show organizers will unveil any additional prizes on FallHomeExpo.com over the weeks leading up to the show.

Registration for the Backyard Bonanza opens on FallHomeExpo.com the second week of September. Entry is open to adults 21 and older, one entry per household, with additional qualification at the show and the drawing held Sunday afternoon.
Also new this year is Stamp Away Hunger, a fundraiser for the John 3:16 Mission. Attendees pick up a stamp card at the entrance, collect stamps from participating exhibitors as they walk the aisles, and turn in the completed card at the show giveaway booth. The first 100 to turn in a completed card each day will receive a free “I Love Tulsa” t-shirt. One hundred percent of participating exhibitor proceeds go to the Mission to help feed Tulsa’s homeless. Last year’s show fundraiser for the Mission raised $5,000, and this year’s goal is to beat it.
Returning favorites include the Tulsa Garden Railroad Club’s large operating garden train display, sponsored by Values Magazine; the Rescue Roundup dog adoption event with the Animal Rescue Foundation and Oklahoma Alliance for Animals, sponsored by Rosser Midwest Stone; and the Shopper’s Market, sponsored by TulsaHomeAndGarden.com. Admission and parking are free. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Booth space is still available for the 2026 show. Businesses can reserve at TulsaHomeShows.com or by calling the show director at 918-605-5480. Homeowners ready to talk about a driveway, an outdoor living space, or a permanent lighting system can reach Select Outdoor Solutions at SelectOutdoorSolutions.com or 918-486-9892.
