Shady Hollow is a community in Travis County.
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 driveway, patio or deck decides how long it lasts. We look at your soil and slope during the estimate and build for what we find.
Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in Shady Hollow
We build the wood side of the backyard too, so one crew can handle the slab and what goes on it.
- 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.
Concrete Work in Shady Hollow
We pour plain gray concrete with a broom or smooth finish. No stamped or stained work, just solid slabs built to last.
- Concrete driveways, new, wider or torn out and replaced
- Concrete patios and patio extensions
- Sidewalks and walkways, front walks and side yard paths
Because the ground varies, we look at your lot before we price anything. On rock we cut and level. On clay we add more base, more steel and keep water away from the slab edges.
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. Driveway approaches that meet the street, raised decks 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.
