Decks, Patios and Pergolas in Shady Hollow

What the Ground Is Like in Shady Hollow

Shady Hollow is a wooded neighborhood in far south Austin.

Shady Hollow sits on the Balcones Escarpment line, so the ground changes block to block. Some yards hit limestone right away and others sit on deep clay.

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 Shady Hollow

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 Shady Hollow

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 Shady Hollow

Shady Hollow is outside city limits, so county rules apply. See the Travis County permit page.

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 Shady Hollow and your HOA need before we set a start date.
