Patios, Decks and Screened Porches in Austin

What the Ground Is Like in Austin

Austin sits right on the Balcones Escarpment, so west side lots tend to be rocky and sloped while east side lots sit on heavy clay.

Expect that kind of ground in most yards in and around Austin.

That matters because the ground under a deck, porch or pergola decides how long it stays level. We look at your soil and slope during the estimate and build for what we find.

Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in Austin

One crew plans and builds the whole outdoor space, so the deck, the cover and the steps line up.

• Decks in wood or composite
• Patios and covered patios
• Front and back porches
• Patio enclosures and screened porches
• Pergolas, attached or freestanding

We size deck and pergola footings for the ground we find, deeper in clay and pinned or set into rock where it is close to the surface.

Shade and Covered Patios in Austin

Shade is what makes a backyard usable in a Central Texas summer.

• Covered patios and patio covers that tie into your roof or stand on their own posts
• Pergolas for filtered shade over a deck or patio
• Patio enclosures and screened porches to keep the bugs out

Because the ground varies, we look at your lot before we price anything. Shade is the other big ask, and a patio cover or pergola is often the first project.

Permits and HOA Rules in Austin

Rules change from city to city. Raised decks, decks attached to the house and roofed structures are the jobs that most often need a permit. If your home is in a neighborhood with an HOA, the design may also need HOA approval. We check what Austin and your HOA need before we set a start date.
