Thorndale Deck and Patio Builders

What the Ground Is Like in Thorndale

Thorndale is a small town in Milam County on Highway 79, east of Taylor.

Thorndale sits on Blackland Prairie clay. This dark soil swells when it rains and shrinks and cracks in a dry summer.

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 Thorndale

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.

Shade and Covered Patios in Thorndale

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.

Permits and HOA Rules in Thorndale

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 Thorndale and your HOA need before we set a start date.
