San Marcos is a city of about 72,000 people in Hays County.
What the Ground Is Like in San Marcos
San Marcos sits on the escarpment where the San Marcos River starts, so lots can be rocky on one side of town and clay on the other.
Expect that kind of ground in most yards in and around San Marcos.
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 San Marcos
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 San Marcos
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.
