Pergolas, arbors and shade structures that make the patio usable in Texas heat.
Austin summers aren't shy, and a well-built pergola or shade structure is how you get your patio back. From Tarrytown to Circle C, our crew builds custom pergolas and arbors that actually block the heat while letting that breeze through, turning a scorching afternoon into usable space. Whether your lot sits on the limestone edges west of MoPac or the clay-heavy soil to the east, we size and anchor every structure to handle Texas weather and hold up over years.
We work in all the neighborhoods that make Austin what it is, and we know how local conditions shape the job. Black gumbo drains different than caliche. A fence-line pergola needs different bracing than a freestanding canopy. We build in cedar and powder-coated steel, attach to existing structures or install them standalone, and seal everything so it weathers right.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Austin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and pergolas & shade that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
A standard open pergola provides partial, dappled shade; for stronger sun relief in Central Texas we add a slatted roof, canopy, shade cloth or climbing plants. We design the right amount of cover so the space is comfortable through hot afternoons.
Cedar and powder-coated steel are the best pergola materials for Central Texas, standing up to sun, heat and storms. Cedar offers a warm natural look and resists rot, while steel gives clean, low-maintenance lines. We build both, stained and sealed to last.
A pergola won't block everything, but the beams and cross-lats cut direct sun and drop temperatures noticeably. A solid canopy option gives more shade; we size both to your sun angle and lot. Austin's high, hot sun angles mean placement matters. We design each structure for your specific exposure and patio use.
Yes, but foundations have to match. West of MoPac, we dig past limestone. East side black gumbo needs different post set-ups and drainage planning. We handle both. Proper anchoring keeps structures solid through wind and the ground movement that Texas clay causes.
Cedar ages beautifully if sealed and stained, and we maintain that look. Powder-coated steel doesn't rot and handles heat without expanding like wood, and it costs less long-term. Both work; we help you pick based on style, budget, and how much maintenance you want.
Yes. We build attached structures that tie safely into your existing walls or fence posts, which saves space and cost on a tight lot. Standalone builds work too if you want flexibility. Either way, we engineer the attachment so it handles Austin wind and stays solid.
A typical build is a few days on-site, depending on size, whether it's attached or freestanding, and your soil type. We schedule the work, handle post holes and anchoring, and finish with stain or sealant. Most jobs wrap cleanly without taking over your whole month.
Absolutely. We work across Austin's different neighborhoods and lot types, from dense Mueller blocks to Hill Country edges near Circle C. We're licensed and insured for residential and commercial work. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free estimate in your area.
