Pergolas for shade and gathering.
A pergola gives your backyard shade, structure and a place to gather, without closing in the open feel of the yard.
Austin summers make shade one of the most valuable things a backyard can have. A pergola creates it while still letting the breeze through.
We build pergolas over patios, decks and open lawn, sized to the space and designed to match your home.
What a pergola includes
Planning the space
We look at where the sun hits, how you'll use the space and how the pergola fits with the house and yard.
Building the pergola
Posts set solid, beams and rafters built to stay straight, and a finish that holds up outdoors.
Over a patio or deck
A pergola can sit over an existing patio or deck, or be built together with a new deck.

Questions about pergolas
How much shade does a pergola give?
An open pergola gives filtered shade that moves with the sun. For more shade, you can add shade cloth, climbing plants or more closely spaced rafters. We'll go over the options with you.
Can a pergola go over my existing patio?
Usually, yes. We'll look at the patio and the space around it during your estimate.
Do I need a permit for a pergola?
It depends on the size, whether it's attached to the house and your city's rules. We'll talk it through during your estimate.
