The Hills is a town of about 2,400 people in Travis County.
What the Ground Is Like in The Hills
The Hills is a gated village inside Lakeway, built on rocky slopes above Lake Travis.
Most lots in The Hills sit on Hill Country limestone. The rock is often only a few inches under the grass, and many yards slope.
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 The Hills
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
Hill Country lots often face long views and hard afternoon sun, so covered patios and pergolas get a lot of use here. Rock close to the surface means footings are cut in, not just dug.
Decks, Patios, Porches and Pergolas in The Hills
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
Sloped lots are why raised decks are so common here. We use taller posts, bracing and footings set into firm ground or rock.
Permits and HOA Rules in The Hills
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 The Hills and your HOA need before we set a start date.
