Pergolas, arbors and shade structures that make the patio usable in Texas heat.
Corral Bros builds pergolas, arbors, and shade structures across Taylor, giving you a cool, comfortable spot to enjoy the yard when the Central Texas sun is relentless. On new-build lots around Robinson and Mustang Creek that bake with no mature trees yet, a pergola creates instant shade over a patio or seating area, turning an unusable summer backyard into a place you actually want to be.
Shade is genuinely functional here, not just decorative, given how hot Taylor summers run and how long it takes new trees to grow a canopy. We build pergolas sized and oriented to block the worst afternoon sun, and we anchor them for the blackland clay and Central Texas wind, setting posts to proper depth so they stay solid through the soil's swelling and shrinking. Add a shade cloth, climbing vines, or a fan and it works even harder. Corral Bros is locally owned, family-built, licensed, and insured, with free on-site estimates usually within 48 hours.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Taylor property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and pergolas & shade that holds up to Williamson 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.
Yes, especially when sized and oriented to block afternoon sun, and even more with a shade cloth, canopy, or climbing vines added. On new Taylor lots with no mature trees, it's often the fastest way to get real usable shade. Corral Bros designs it to cut the heat where you sit. Ask us how at the estimate.
We set posts to proper depth with footings detailed for expansive clay, so the structure stays solid as the soil swells and shrinks and through Central Texas wind. Skimping on footings is how a pergola ends up leaning. Corral Bros anchors it for Taylor's ground so it stays put for the long haul.
Yes. We build pergolas over existing patios and decks as well as new ones, anchoring properly whether it's set on the slab or into the ground beside it. It's a great way to make an existing space usable in summer. Corral Bros will assess your patio and design a structure that fits your Taylor yard.
Wood gives a warm, classic look with some upkeep, while metal and composite options resist rot and the sun with less maintenance. Both hold up in Central Texas when built right. Corral Bros will go over the choices, including shade cloth and vine options, so you pick what fits your yard and upkeep style.
It depends on size, materials, and add-ons like shade cloth, fans, or lighting. A simple arbor costs far less than a large patio-covering structure. Corral Bros gives a free, no-obligation on-site estimate with clear pricing, usually within 48 hours. Call (737) 404-9343 for your Taylor pergola.
