Deck and Patio Builders in Harker Heights

What the Ground Is Like in Harker Heights

Harker Heights sits between Killeen and Belton near Stillhouse Hollow Lake.

The ground in Harker Heights is mostly heavy Blackland Prairie clay, the kind that moves a lot between wet and dry seasons.

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.

Shade and Covered Patios in Harker Heights

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

Flat prairie lots get full sun most of the day, so shade structures and screened patios are popular. Clay that moves means footings go deeper.

Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in Harker Heights

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

Clay moves, so deck, porch and pergola footings go deeper here. That keeps posts from heaving and keeps the frame square.

Permits and HOA Rules in Harker Heights

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 Harker Heights and your HOA need before we set a start date.
